Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Dulford women's ballet pump is designed for the fashionable adult female seeking a comfortable and stylish slip-on shoe. Its key benefit is the blend of elegant design with all-day wearability, enhanced by a charming lace bow detail. A potential consideration is its standard UK C+ width fitting, which may not suit wider feet. This versatile pump features a synthetic upper, fleece lining, and a durable synthetic sole with a modest 2cm covered block heel, making it suitable for pairing with skirts or trousers.

FAQs
What material is the Gabor Dulford ballet pump made of?
The upper is synthetic, the lining is fleece, and the sole is also synthetic.
What is the heel height of these pumps?
The heel height is 2cm, featuring a covered block heel.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The shoes have a UK C+ Standard (Gabor F) width fitting, which is considered standard. They may not be suitable for individuals requiring a wider fit.
Can I remove the insoles to add my own?
No, the insoles are not removable in the Gabor Dulford ballet pumps.
How do I clean the lace bow detail?
The lace bow should be cleaned gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaning agents to preserve its delicate structure.
What type of fastening do these shoes have?
These are slip-on ballet pumps, meaning they do not have traditional fastenings like laces or buckles.
Are these shoes appropriate for formal events?
While elegant, their ballet pump style and modest heel make them more suitable for smart-casual or business-casual occasions rather than very formal events.
Troubleshooting
Slipping sensation or heel lift
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the shoe is new, it may require a short break-in period. Consider using heel grips or a thicker insole if minor adjustments are needed and the fit is otherwise acceptable.
Discomfort on the sides or toes
New shoes can sometimes feel stiff. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to soften and mold to your feet. Ensure no foreign objects are inside the shoe.
Lace bow becoming loose or detached
Gently re-secure the bow using a needle and thread if it becomes loose. If fully detached, consult a cobbler for professional repair or attempt to re-stitch it carefully.
Material scuffing or damage
For minor scuffs on synthetic material, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth may suffice. For deeper damage, a specialized shoe repair product for synthetic materials might be needed, following product instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Gabor Dulford ballet pumps require no specific setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility:
- Foot Width: These shoes are designed with a UK C+ Standard (Gabor F) width fitting. While suitable for many, individuals with significantly wider feet may find them constrictive.
- Orthotics: As the insoles are not removable, integrating custom orthotic insoles may be challenging.
- Outfit Pairing: Highly compatible with skirts, dresses, trousers, and jeans for a variety of looks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Lining Maintenance: The fleece lining can be spot-cleaned gently with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure the shoes are dried naturally away from direct heat.
- Sole Care: The synthetic sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Check for any debris that might affect traction.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect the material and prevent dust accumulation.
