Product Information

Full details

The Gabor West trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of retro style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit lies in the combination of quality materials like leather and suede with a comfortable, adaptable fit. A potential consideration is the specific width fitting (UK C+ / Gabor F), which may require trying them on for optimal comfort if you have wider feet. These trainers feature lace-up closure, a low rubber sole, removable insoles, and distinctive contrast stripes for a fashionable look.

FAQs

What is the width fitting for the Gabor West trainers?

The Gabor West trainers have a UK C+ width fitting, which corresponds to a Gabor F fit. This is designed to offer a comfortable fit for many, but may be a consideration for those with very narrow feet.

Can I wear these trainers with custom orthotics?

Yes, the Gabor West trainers feature removable insoles, making them ideal for use with custom orthotics or alternative supportive insoles.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, it's best to use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and maintain its texture. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always protect the suede with a suitable protector spray.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole of the Gabor West trainers is made from thermoplastic rubber, which is known for its durability and grip.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

The heel height for the Gabor West trainers is approximately 2.5cm.

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

The Gabor West trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good grip and support for daily activities, they are not intended for high-impact sports.

How do I care for the leather components?

Wipe smooth leather parts with a slightly damp cloth. Use a dedicated leather cleaner for more thorough cleaning and apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material in good condition.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lacing to find a comfortable fit. If the fit is fundamentally too narrow or wide, consider the width fitting (UK C+ / Gabor F). The removable insole can be replaced with a thinner or thicker one, or an orthotic, to fine-tune the fit.

Suede material looks dull or has minor marks.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Apply a suede protector spray to help prevent future marks.

Leather appears dry or scuffed.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth. Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple. For scuffs, a colored leather cream or polish may help to conceal them.

Insoles are uncomfortable or need replacing.

The insoles are removable. You can replace them with custom orthotics or alternative insoles of your choice for enhanced comfort or support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish retro design with attractive detailing.
  • Made with quality leather and suede materials.
  • Removable insoles offer customizable comfort and support.
  • Durable thermoplastic rubber sole provides good traction.
  • Comfortable leather lining enhances breathability.

Cons

  • The C+ (Gabor F) width fitting may not suit very narrow feet.
  • Suede requires specific care to maintain its appearance.
  • As trainers, they may not be suitable for highly formal occasions.
  • Heel height of 2.5cm is modest; may not be ideal for those seeking significant elevation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Gabor West trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. If you intend to use custom insoles or orthotics, simply remove the existing insole by gently lifting it from the heel and pulling it out. Then, insert your custom insole, ensuring it lies flat.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult women with a UK C+ (Gabor F) width fitting. They are compatible with most standard orthotics and custom insoles. The shoe is primarily intended for casual wear and light activities.

Care:

  • Suede: For suede sections, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and maintain the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Protect with a suede protector spray.
  • Leather: Wipe smooth leather sections with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner. Condition regularly to prevent drying.
  • Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing.
  • Insoles: The removable insoles can be aired out. If they require cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and water and allow them to air dry completely.
