Product Information

Full details

The Gabor Balban ankle boots are designed for adults seeking a balance between professional style and everyday comfort. Featuring a generous UK D+ widest width fitting and a modest 3cm heel, these boots are an excellent choice for individuals who require extra room without sacrificing an elegant silhouette; however, users should note that the primary suede upper requires regular care to maintain its appearance against the elements.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the rubber sole provides good water resistance, the suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray to protect against light moisture.

What does D+ width mean?

The D+ fitting indicates that the boot is wider than standard options, providing extra space for the foot, which is ideal for those who suffer from swelling or require a more generous fit.

Can I replace the insoles?

The Balban boots feature a synthetic lining. While some users may swap them, the interior is designed for comfort as-is.

How do I clean the rubber sole?

The rubber/latex sole can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.

Is the heel height comfortable for walking?

Yes, the 3cm heel is designed as a 'low' block heel, which provides enough lift for posture support without putting excessive pressure on the ball of the foot.

Troubleshooting

Zip becomes stiff or difficult to pull.

Clear any debris from the zip track and rub a small amount of paraffin wax or a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate.

Suede appears dull or marked.

Use a suede brush in one direction to reset the nap of the material and remove surface dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care for your Balban boots starts with protection. Apply a suede-specific water-repellent spray before the first use to prevent staining and water damage.

  • Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dried mud or dust. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black or brown dye over time.
  • Compatibility: The boots are designed with a standard adult UK size scale. If you wear thick socks, ensure you account for the internal volume despite the wide fitting.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the laces for fraying and ensure the zip remains free of grit to maintain smooth operation.
