FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the Gabor Hamble is designed with comfort in mind, including a low 2.5cm heel and supportive construction, making them suitable for long days; however, comfort is subjective, so ensure the D width fits your foot shape well.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Never wash suede shoes in a machine, as the water and agitation will permanently damage the suede material and the shoe's structural integrity.
What does a UK D width mean?
UK D width is considered a standard-to-slim fitting. If you usually require a wider fit, these may feel restrictive across the bridge of your foot.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are specifically designed to be removable, making it easy to swap them out for custom orthotics or your preferred supportive inserts.
How should I clean the leather lining?
The leather lining should be kept dry. If it needs cleaning, use a very slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dust and allow it to air dry fully.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly tight across the instep
Since the insoles are removable, try replacing them with a thinner insert to create more interior volume.
Suede surface looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush and gently brush the nap in one direction to restore the texture and original look of the material.
Minor water spotting on the suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then brush the area thoroughly with a suede brush to lift the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Hamble Loafers maintain their appearance and structure, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before wearing your new suede shoes outside, apply a reputable suede protector spray to repel water and prevent dust buildup.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt gently. If a stain occurs, use a dedicated suede eraser and work in the direction of the nap.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede color from fading. Use shoe trees to help the leather maintain its shape when not in use.
- Insole Care: If the insoles become compressed or retain moisture, remove them periodically to allow for proper airflow and drying.
