FAQs

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the Gabor Balban series features a UK D+ width fitting, which is specifically designed to accommodate wider feet comfortably.

Can the insoles be removed?

The boots feature a standard construction; if you require orthotics, check with a cobbler if the factory lining allows for easy replacement.

How do I clean the blue suede?

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.

Is the heel height comfortable for walking?

The 3cm heel is designed for stability and comfort, making it suitable for walking throughout the day without significant fatigue.

Are these boots waterproof?

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.

What is the benefit of the lace and zip combo?

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.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness in the zipper

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider using a small amount of beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush in a gentle back-and-forth motion to lift the nap of the material and restore its original texture.

Laces becoming loose throughout the day

Use a double knot or ensure the laces are properly waxed or treated to maintain grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous D+ wide width fitting for added comfort
  • Versatile dual fastening system for easy access and custom fit
  • Stable heel height suitable for extended wear
  • High-quality suede finish offers a sophisticated look

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and dirt
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep the finish looking new
  • Limited to specific width fitting profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
