Featuring a luxurious suede finish and a practical UK D+ width fitting, these boots offer generous space for the foot, making them an excellent choice for individuals who require extra room. While the boots provide exceptional stability through a robust rubber sole and a modest 3cm heel, the suede material requires attentive care to maintain its appearance in harsh weather conditions.

Yes, the Gabor Balban series features a UK D+ width fitting, which is specifically designed to accommodate wider feet comfortably.
The boots feature a standard construction; if you require orthotics, check with a cobbler if the factory lining allows for easy replacement.
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for localized marks. Avoid liquid cleaners unless they are specifically formulated for suede.
The 3cm heel is designed for stability and comfort, making it suitable for walking throughout the day without significant fatigue.
They are made of suede, which is naturally porous. While a protective spray helps repel light moisture, they are not intended for heavy rain or deep puddles.
It allows you to customize the tightness via the laces once, while the side zip provides a quick and convenient way to put the boots on and take them off.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider using a small amount of beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Use a suede brush in a gentle back-and-forth motion to lift the nap of the material and restore its original texture.
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are properly waxed or treated to maintain grip.
For the initial setup, we recommend unboxing the boots and lacing them while sitting down to achieve the desired snugness across the instep. Once the tension is balanced, use the zip for daily operation. Since the upper is made of suede, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before the first wear to guard against water spots and light stains. To clean, use a soft brush designed for suede to remove dust or light mud once dry. Avoid soaking the suede in water, as this can affect the texture and color. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from hardening.
