FAQs
Can I use my own orthotic insoles in these boots?
Yes, the Gabor Schnürstiefelette features a removable footbed specifically designed to allow for the use of custom orthotics.
What does the 'F' width mean?
The 'F' width is Gabor's standard width fitting, which is designed to be comfortable for most feet, offering a slightly roomier fit at the forefoot.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is robust, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-appropriate water-repellent spray for protection against light rain.
How high is the heel?
The boots feature a 4 cm block heel, which provides a comfortable and stable elevation.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and follow up with a leather-specific cream to maintain hydration and shine.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the side
Ensure no fabric or laces are caught in the teeth of the zipper and apply a light touch of beeswax if the track feels stiff.
Boots feel too tight after a few hours
Check if the laces are tied too tightly; loosening the laces slightly can provide extra volume in the mid-foot area.
Footbed sliding inside
Ensure the replacement footbed is the correct size and seated correctly against the heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor boots remain in peak condition, perform regular maintenance. Wipe the smooth leather surface clean with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt and salt buildup. Treat the leather periodically with a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. When inserting custom orthotics, ensure the original footbed is removed cleanly and the new insert is laid flat to avoid pressure points. For storage, keep the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out and damage the natural leather.
