FAQs
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, do not wash Gabor suede trainers in a washing machine, as water can damage the suede texture and the shoe structure.
What does D+ fit mean?
D+ indicates a wider fitting shoe compared to the standard width, providing extra space across the forefoot for added comfort.
Are the insoles replaceable?
Yes, the Gabor Globe trainers feature removable insoles, making it easy to swap them out for custom or refreshed inserts.
Will the red colour fade?
Like all coloured suede, the colour may fade if left in direct sunlight for long periods; store them in a cool, dark place when not in use.
Is the material waterproof?
Suede is not inherently waterproof. We highly recommend using a protective spray to help repel moisture and protect against light rain.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel too loose.
Ensure the laces are securely tightened; if they remain loose, consider using a thicker pair of socks or a supportive insole insert.
Water spots on the suede.
Let the suede dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Globe trainers maintain their quality, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: The trainers arrive ready to wear. If you have custom orthotics, remove the existing insoles before inserting your own.
- Compatibility: The D+ width makes these compatible with most standard and wider foot shapes, though if you prefer a very slim fit, you may find them slightly loose.
- Care:
- Protection: Before the first use, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray.
- Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt or dried mud. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Maintenance: Store away from direct sunlight to prevent the red colour from fading.
