Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

The boots are made from suede and are not waterproof. We recommend applying a suede protector spray to provide a barrier against light moisture.

What is a D+ width fitting?

A D+ fitting is wider than a standard shoe, providing more room in the toe box and across the foot for those who need extra space for comfort.

How do I use the dual fastening system?

Use the laces to set your desired tension for a secure fit across the arch, then use the side zip for quick and easy daily entry and exit without adjusting the laces.

Can I replace the insoles?

While the internal comfort is designed for the Gabor Balban series, if you require custom orthotics, ensure they fit the internal dimensions of the boot width before attempting to swap them.

Are these suitable for long periods of walking?

Yes, the 3cm heel and rubber outsole are designed to provide support and stability for daily activities and moderate amounts of walking.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or flat

Gently brush the surface with a soft-bristled suede brush to lift the fibers and restore the original texture.

Zip feels difficult to operate

Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the teeth. Applying a small amount of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil tip to the teeth can help smooth the movement.

Surface spots or light stains

Use a dry suede eraser or a clean, soft cloth dampened slightly with white vinegar for persistent spots. Allow the area to dry completely away from heat.

Pros and Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty outdoor hiking
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep material looking new

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gabor Balban boots last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Before wearing them outside for the first time, apply a high-quality suede-specific waterproofing spray to protect against light moisture and dirt.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust and revive the nap of the material. For stains, use a dedicated suede eraser and work gently to avoid damaging the fibers.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the suede to fade or become brittle. Use shoe trees or crumpled paper to maintain the shape of the boot when not in use.
  4. Weather Awareness: While the rubber sole is durable, the suede upper is not waterproof. Avoid wearing the boots during heavy rain or in muddy conditions to prevent permanent water staining.
