Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Lourdes Boots are designed for adults seeking a blend of elegance and reliable comfort for daily wear. These boots feature a stable 3.5 cm flat heel and a 11 cm shaft height that provides excellent ankle support without restricting movement. While the round toe offers generous space for all-day comfort, potential buyers should note that the elastic closure system is designed for a slip-on aesthetic rather than a customizable lace-up fit.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for arch support?
Yes, Gabor designs their footwear with ergonomic considerations; the 3.5 cm heel provides a balanced foundation suitable for most daily walking needs.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the material is durable, suede is sensitive to moisture. We highly recommend using a water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
What is the best way to clean them?
Regular brushing with a suede-specific brush is the best way to maintain the appearance and remove dry dust or dirt.
Do these boots run true to size?
The Lourdes boots are designed to fit standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may want to ensure you have the correct width fit, though the round toe offers extra room.
Are these suitable for long-distance walking?
They are perfect for everyday urban walking and commuting, though they are categorized as fashion boots rather than technical hiking footwear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly tight when first wearing.
Suede material often adapts to the shape of the foot after a few wears. Ensure you are wearing the appropriate sock thickness.
Surface dirt on the suede material.
Use a dry suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.
Elastic is slightly stiff at first.
Flex the elastic panels gently with your hands to loosen the tension; it will relax naturally with regular use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since these boots feature an elastic slip-on design, there is no setup required; they are ready to wear out of the box. For compatibility, the size 8.5 (UK) is designed to fit standard adult feet comfortably.
To ensure the longevity of your Gabor boots, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush specifically for suede to gently remove surface dirt after each wear.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a high-quality water-repellent spray before the first use to protect against environmental damage.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Maintenance: If the leather becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the material to crack.
