Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Gabor Honour pumps in peak condition, proper maintenance is essential:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes can be stiff. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your specific foot shape.
- Leather Care: Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream every few months to prevent the material from drying out and cracking.
- Storage: Store the pumps in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can warp the leather. Using shoe trees helps maintain the shape of the ballet pump silhouette.
- Weather Protection: While durable, leather is porous. Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to protect against incidental splashes.
