Full details
The Gabor Roller trainers are designed for the modern adult female seeking a stylish yet comfortable footwear option for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in their versatile design, pairing well with various outfits, and their comfortable, supportive sole.

FAQs
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Any type of comfortable socks that fit well can be worn. For optimal comfort and to prevent rubbing, especially during the break-in period, consider wearing medium-weight socks. Athletic or casual socks work well.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather and suede offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials, particularly the suede. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather and suede if you anticipate encountering dampness.
How do I determine if the standard fit is right for me?
A standard fit usually suits individuals with average-width feet. If you typically find shoes too narrow or too wide, these might be a good starting point. The lace-up design allows for some adjustment, and the removable insole can offer minor width customization.
What is the heel height and how does it affect comfort?
The heel height is 5cm. This moderate height adds a stylish lift without compromising stability, and the chunky sole design helps distribute pressure, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Are the materials used ethically sourced?
Product information does not specify ethical sourcing details. For specific inquiries regarding material sourcing or brand sustainability practices, it is recommended to contact Gabor directly.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers. The combination of leather, suede, and manmade components requires specific care methods to prevent damage. Spot cleaning and appropriate material care are advised.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely. Consider using a double knot or replacing laces with a material that offers more grip.
Slight rubbing or discomfort on the heel
Ensure socks are worn. Try adjusting the lacing to a tighter fit in the ankle area or loosen the overall tension. Consider wearing the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.
Leather surface scuffed
Use a matching color shoe polish or a leather repair kit to cover minor scuffs. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional cobbler.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The lace-up system allows for immediate adjustment to your preferred fit. If using custom orthotics, simply remove the existing insole before inserting your own.
Compatibility: Designed as a standard fit (Gabor F), these trainers are best suited for individuals with average width feet. They are ideal for pairing with a wide range of casual wear, including jeans, chinos, and casual dresses. For those who require more space, the removable insole offers a slight adjustment possibility.
Care:
- Leather: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Use a dedicated leather cleaner for stains and a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
- Suede: Brush with a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid water, as it can stain suede.
- Sole: Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
