FAQs
What is the heel height of the Gabor Affection sandal?
The heel height is 4.5cm, featuring a sponge-style platform for added cushioning.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized suede brush for general cleaning and to restore the nap. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Protect from water and rain.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede footwear in wet weather, as it can damage the material and cause staining. The PU sole offers some durability, but the upper is not waterproof.
What does 'UK C+ Standard (Gabor F)' width fitting mean?
This refers to a standard-plus width fitting, suitable for feet that are slightly wider than average but not exceptionally wide. The adjustable straps allow for some customization.
Are the insoles removable?
No, the insoles are not removable in the Gabor Affection sandal.
What are the materials used in the sandal?
The upper is made of suede, the lining is leather, and the sole unit is made of durable PU (polyurethane).
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the rip tape fastening and the buckle strap to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The Gabor F width fitting is a standard-plus, so slight adjustments can make a difference.
Suede appears scuffed or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure the rip tape strap is adjusted correctly for optimal support. While the platform heel offers cushioning, prolonged wear on hard surfaces can still cause fatigue. Consider wearing them for shorter durations initially.
