Details

GABINS — DARK

Low, black, a little dangerous.

The line of a driving shoe, the mood of a late night. Quilted black leather stitched in squares, a thin sole that keeps you close to the ground, off-white laces and a padded collar that frame the foot. Under wide trousers it barely shows. That's exactly why it works.

Details

  • Racing-inspired low profile, thin driving-shoe sole
  • Quilted toe box with stitched squares
  • Off-white flat laces
  • Off-white padded collar

Material information

  • Upper: Black leather
  • Outsole: Durable rubber

Care

Wipe off dust and dirt with a soft cloth or brush. Apply a matching shoe polish for a refined finish. Avoid harsh or corrosive cleaners.

Shipping & Returns

Free shipping on every order, tracked to your door.

Ships the same evening or the next day, wherever you are in the world. You get a tracking link by email as soon as your pair leaves us, and you can follow it anytime on Track your order.

No customs or import fees. The price you see is the price you pay, wherever we ship.

30 days to return or exchange from the day you receive your pair. Click Returns in the menu and follow the steps.

Care

Give them a day off. Leather needs time to dry out between wears; alternating pairs doubles their life. A cedar shoe tree keeps the shape and absorbs moisture.

Caught in the rain? Stuff them with paper and let them dry at room temperature, never on a radiator or in the sun.

Smooth leather: a soft cloth for dust, a matching cream polish every few weeks, and the creases will age instead of crack.

Suede and nubuck: spray a protector before the first wear, brush them dry with a suede brush, and rub small marks away with a suede eraser.

How to Spot a Real GABINS

Every authentic pair is sold exclusively through our official store. Check the electroplated metal eyelets and the two sets of laces included in the box.

cleared out my hallway and realised all my shoes were basically the same big chunky shape. ordered Dark to try something different. my brother came round and noticed them straight away which was funny because he usually notices nothing

Bought these before a weekend visiting friends. The parcel arrived while I was packing so they went straight in the bag. Ended up wearing them most of the weekend instead of the pair I'd already packed. Happy with that.
