FAQs

What material are the Gabor West trainers made of?

The uppers are made of suede, the lining is leather, and the sole is thermoplastic rubber.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Gabor West trainers feature removable insoles, allowing you to use your own orthotics or preferred insoles.

How do I clean the suede part of the trainers?

For best results, use a suede brush to remove dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and protect with a suede protector spray.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

These trainers have a UK C+ (Gabor F) width fitting, which is generally considered a standard to slightly wider fit. The removable insole can also offer some adjustment.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is 2.5cm.

What type of fastening do they have?

Are these trainers waterproof?

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen

Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product instructions.

Insole feels uncomfortable or doesn't fit correctly

Ensure the original insole is fully removed before inserting a new one. If using custom orthotics, confirm they are the correct size and shape for the trainer.
