FAQs
Can I replace the insoles with my own?
Yes, the Gabor Hodie features removable insoles, making it easy to swap them for your preferred orthotics.
How do I determine if a D fitting is right for me?
A D fitting is considered a standard medium width, which fits the majority of women's feet comfortably.
What is the heel height on the Gabor Hodie?
The boots feature a 4 cm block heel.
Are these boots waterproof?
No, they are made from suede and are not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray to provide light protection against the elements.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The D fitting is a standard width; individuals with significantly wider feet may find the boot slightly snug.
How should I store these boots?
Store them in an upright position or using boot shapers to maintain their structure, away from direct heat or humidity.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Ensure no fabric or lining is caught in the zipper track. You can gently rub a paraffin wax candle along the teeth to lubricate the zip.
Suede appears dull after use
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the material in one direction to restore its original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gabor Hodie boots, follow these care instructions:
- Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water-repellent spray before the first use to protect the material from dust and light moisture.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the leather. For deeper stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Insole Maintenance: If you wish to use your own insoles, ensure the original footbed is removed cleanly before inserting the custom version.
- Fit Check: Ensure the zipper is fully closed when putting on the boot to prevent stress on the zip mechanism.
