FAQs
What does XL shaft mean?
The XL shaft designation indicates that the calf circumference of the boot is wider than the standard fit to provide more comfort.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable, they are not classified as fully waterproof; however, applying a weatherproofing spray will add protection against light rain.
Can I replace the insoles?
The boots come with a fixed microfibre lining, but you can typically accommodate a slim aftermarket orthotic insole if extra arch support is needed.
What is the best way to clean the cleated sole?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove any stones or debris caught in the cleats, then wipe with a damp sponge.
Do these boots run true to size?
Gabor boots are generally true to size. If you plan on wearing thick winter socks, some users prefer to size up by half a size.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during initial wear
Leather requires a brief breaking-in period. Wear them for short intervals at home to soften the material.
Difficulty pulling on the boot
Ensure your heel is aligned correctly with the ankle bend; wearing a thin silk or nylon sock can reduce friction when slipping them on.
Surface scuffs appearing
Use a matching black shoe polish or cream to buff out light scuffs and restore the uniform finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gabor Propulsion boots, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and salt residue.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather cream to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees or rolled-up magazines in the shaft can help maintain the shape of the leather.
- Weatherproofing: While durable, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against damp conditions.
