Product Information

Full details

The Gabor West trainers are designed for adult females seeking a blend of retro style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit lies in their versatile design, crafted from quality leather and suede with a low rubber sole, suitable for casual wear. A potential caveat for some users might be the Gabor F width fit, which is a UK C+ standard, potentially narrower than some alternatives.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Gabor West trainers have a UK C+ width fit, which corresponds to a Gabor F. This is generally considered a standard to slightly narrow fit. If you have wider feet, we recommend trying them on or considering models specifically designed for wider fittings.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather and rubber sole offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. The suede elements are particularly sensitive to moisture. We recommend using a suede protector spray for water resistance and avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions.

How do I clean the contrast stripes?

For the contrast stripes, use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or surrounding suede/leather.

What is the heel height?

The heel height of the Gabor West trainers is approximately 2.5cm.

Are the insoles machine washable?

The insoles are removable for airing out or cleaning. Hand wash them gently with mild soap and water, and allow them to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on wear and climate. Generally, conditioning the leather every 3-6 months, or whenever the leather feels dry, is recommended to keep it supple and prevent cracking.

What types of outfits do these trainers best complement?

These trainers are very versatile and pair well with casual outfits such as jeans, shorts, casual dresses, and skirts. Their retro design adds a stylish touch to everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Adjust the lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected. If using custom orthotics, ensure they fit correctly within the removable insole space.

Suede appearing matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Leather scuffs or scratches

For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, apply a matching color leather balm or cream and buff.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Uppers: Clean with a damp cloth and use a suitable leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying.
