FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Gabor Ilea trainers are designed for casual lifestyle use and walking, not for high-intensity running or gym performance.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it may damage the construction and materials. Surface cleaning with a cloth is best.
What does the C+ fitting mean?
C+ refers to Gabor's standard width fitting, which is designed to accommodate the average foot shape comfortably.
Is the heel height included in the overall sizing?
The 4.5cm heel height is a design feature for comfort and aesthetic and does not affect the shoe length sizing.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, making it easy to swap them for your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the tension throughout the eyelets to distribute pressure evenly across the instep.
Insole becomes uncomfortable after heavy use
Remove the factory insole and replace it with a new one or your preferred aftermarket support insert.
Mesh panel shows signs of dirt accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris, followed by a light wipe with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Ilea trainers remain in peak condition, begin by adjusting the lace tension upon first wear to match your foot's volume. Because the trainers feature removable insoles, check for a secure fit if replacing them with third-party orthotics. To clean, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the exterior mesh and sole. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the shoe. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could cause the materials to warp.
