FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are made from high-quality leather, which provides some natural resistance to light rain, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I replace the insoles?
While the boots have a comfortable internal lining, it is recommended to consult a cobbler before attempting to remove the existing footbed.
What does the D+ width fitting mean?
The D+ fitting indicates that the boot is slightly wider than a standard D fitting, providing extra room in the forefoot and instep.
How do I clean the microfibre lining?
If necessary, spot clean the lining with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a very mild soap solution and allow to air dry completely.
Can these boots be worn in winter?
Yes, the TR sole provides good grip for winter conditions, though you should avoid deep snow and salt which can damage the leather finish.
Do I need to break in these boots?
Like most leather footwear, they may require a short break-in period. We suggest wearing them with socks for the first few days.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather feel after initial purchase
Wear the boots for short durations indoors to allow the leather to naturally mold to the shape of your feet.
Zip feels difficult to operate
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the track, and apply a small amount of clear candle wax to the teeth of the zipper to improve glide.
Slippage in the heel area
Adjust the lacing system to be tighter through the mid-foot to anchor the heel more securely in the footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Leo boots last for seasons to come, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather-appropriate waterproofing spray before the first wear to protect against moisture and stains.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
- Conditioning: Use a quality leather cream periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen.
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are adjusted comfortably across the instep to allow for natural movement during the gait cycle.
