What is the primary material?
The upper is a multi-material construction featuring breathable mesh, accented with premium velvet and metallic trim.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, many users find they can replace the provided insoles with custom orthotics, provided the internal volume allows for a comfortable fit.
Are these shoes true to size?
Gabor footwear generally follows standard sizing; however, individual fit can vary based on foot width and sock thickness.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust buildup on the velvet texture
Use a soft garment brush in the direction of the nap to lift dust without damaging the fibers.
Light scuffs on metallic accents
Gently buff with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor trainers remain in optimal condition, proper care is essential:
- Initial Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed-material footwear before the first use.
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dust or loose dirt from the mesh and velvet sections using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent, avoiding excessive water which may damage the velvet.
- Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near radiators or direct heat sources as this can warp the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the velvet and metallic components.
