Care Tips
To maintain the rich pine hue and beautifully soft texture of your sandals, a simple and regular care routine is highly recommended. Proper attention will help preserve both the refined finish and the structural integrity of the shoe for seasons to come.
- Cleaning: Gently brush the upper with a dedicated suede brush to remove daily dust and restore the natural nap of the material. For the best results, always brush lightly in a single direction to maintain a smooth, uniform appearance.
- Maintenance: Before wearing the sandal for the first time, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a helpful, invisible barrier against dirt and light moisture. We advise reapplying this protection every few months during periods of regular wear.
- Storage: Keep the shoe in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Storing them in a breathable cotton dust bag prevents dust build-up and protects the deep green colour from fading over time.
- Troubleshooting: Should the suede accidentally get wet, allow the shoe to dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near a direct heat source such as a radiator, as this can cause the delicate suede to stiffen or crack. Once completely dry, simply brush the surface lightly to restore its soft feel.
FAQs

This thoughtful design offers the foot more room to rest naturally, reducing the chance of pinching during regular wear. For most women, this shoe fits true to standard sizing and provides a very dependable foundation.
· Is the Gabor Carmen suitable for wider or narrower feet?
Thanks to the broadened step surface of the 'Best Fitting' design, this sandal accommodates a slightly wider foot with ease. The two-strap upper provides a secure hold across the instep. However, those with particularly narrow feet might find the overall fit a little relaxed.

Yes, these sandals are crafted specifically to support extended periods on foot. The intelligent construction pairs a cushioned insole with a gentle 10mm heel drop, which encourages a healthy and natural walking posture. This careful engineering reduces fatigue during long summer days, weekend errands, or relaxed holidays.
· What level of arch support does the Gabor sandal provide?
This slip-on sandal offers a structured, supportive footbed that promotes a comfortable daily stride.
