FAQs
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Gabor West trainers feature removable insoles, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or alternative insoles for added comfort and support.
What material are the trainers made of?
The trainers are made with a combination of uppers, including Leather and Suede. The lining is leather, and the sole is thermoplastic rubber.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains or persistent marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and protector spray. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is 2.5cm, providing a comfortable, low profile.
What does 'Width Fit: UK C+ (Gabor F)' mean?
This indicates the width fitting of the shoe. UK C+ or Gabor F is a standard to slightly wider fit, designed to offer comfort for a range of foot shapes.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers can handle light moisture, the suede material is not ideal for heavy rain or snow. It is recommended to protect them from excessive wetness and use a suede protector spray.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
These trainers pair well with thin to medium-thickness socks. The choice of sock can also affect the overall fit and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Discomfort after initial wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure the fit is correct by adjusting laces and checking insoles.
Suede material looks dull or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a professional suede cleaner or use a specialized suede cleaning kit, following product instructions carefully.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris. For persistent slipperiness, consider adding a shoe sole grip enhancer or consulting a cobbler.
