“The shoes were good but the delivery experience was painful. The first delivery was made to the wrong address, then came to us, only for me to find that it was the wrong shoes in the right box! I then had to contact Gabor customer services (who was excellent) who mailed me a pre-paid postage label. The next delivery of the correct shoe arrived a few days later...the only issue was the left shoe appeared to have been taken a beating (relative to the right shoe) - leather was distressed, the loops were scrunched up. It was respectable enough to keep it. I didn't have the energy to organise another re-delivery! The warehouse set up, quality checks of shoes in boxes etc seems to be poor. The shoes itself were fab!”

“I ordered a pair of boots and they came quickly, however they arrived in the wrong colour! I kept them because I could not be bothered sending them back and waiting on a new pair! Not what I expected from Gabor!”

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you received incorrect colour. The colour that you ordered was named Chino which is a light tan in colour. I am not sure what it is you have received as the only other two colours are black and taupe. We do hope that you enjoy wearing these boots and the colour does not spoil your enjoyment of them. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Shoes not finished well - some threads showing. I ordered from Gabor but shoes came from Clinkard with a Clinkard label showing a price £10 less than I paid - so not a good experience!”

“Lovely boots which arived quickly but on opening the box, they were not what I had ordered - suede not patent. To avoid having to pay to return them I had to travel to the nearest shop to hand them back.”

Hello Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. Please accept my apologies to hear the wrong finish has been sent to you. We would never expect the customer to pay for the return when a mistake has been made by our dispatch team. I have passed this information to the warehouse manager and hope you will continue to shop with us in the future despite this. I can see the boots have been returned at your local store. I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards Michael

“I love Gabor shoes, find them very well made and when they fit, very comfortable. However I had to return the ‘wide fitting’ ankle boots as they were absolutely not wide. Very disappointed indeed. I’ll have to resort to buying another make, well known for their genuinely wide fitting boots and shoes, but alas not as elegant as Gabor. So I’ve given only a two star rating as they were not wide as described.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your shoes were not wide enough for you. Many of our customers use the half size larger method to create extra area within the shoe. It doesnt work for everyone, but is maybe worth a try to see if this works for you? We do hope that you find a style that you like and is also a good fit for your requirements. Kind regards, Janice

“Sadly I will be returning this purchase via Clinkards The shoes are too high cut for my foot shape. It was not very clear from the photos on the website. Normally I am very pleased with Gabor products but on this occasion cannot wear the shoes”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that this popular shoe style is not a good fit for you. It is a little higher cut than some of Gabor other styles. We are happy for you to return the shoes to any Charles Clinkard store where they will arrange a refund for you. Kind regards, Janice - cusotmer

“Although I love Gabor shoes generally these did not work for me. When I tried to send them back the courier service only insures for £50 - Gabor shoes are always more expensive than that ! So I ended up going to the post office to return which cost £16 ! Gabor really needs to get a better courier !”

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately we do not have our own courier and to send orders out but we use Royal Mail and DPD. We do ask customers to return unwanted items to us at their own cost and you may choose any courier you wish. The link on our webiste is to an outside agency (collect +) and we have an arrangement with them where for the reduced cost of £4.49 you can send back up to 10 kilo. You can however visit the Collect + site yourself and look for a service with more options if you wish, such as an insured service. Most customers tend to use Royal Mail second class and then buy tracking which is around 80p more so that they can see when they arrive. They have the option to buy insurance or not, have a next day service etc, but each add on with increase the price. I hope that this information helps. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Very disappointed with recent purchase of the Dublin Chelsea Boots inconsistent size. I have worn Gabor boots for a long time and always order 6.5 these were almost 2 inches longer than all my other pairs so had to return but having paid for fast delivery and then the cost to return it was really annoying.”

Thank you for your review. The Gabor Dublin is one of our wider range, being the widest that Gabor do. We are sorry if you found the length to be longer also, this should not happen. I can see that you have placed a new order and do hopt that you find these to be a better fitting. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Even though these are the widest fit offered by Gabor they are tight and unsuitable for wide feet. I will be returning them.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that this popular boot is narrow on you and hope that you find our returns easy to follow. We process all returned orders within 3 working days. You may like to try a half size bigger to increase the area within the boot for a better fit? Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Wow. £4.49 to return an item means that this is an online shopping experience that I won't be repeating. Boots are great, but paying for returns isn't.”

“I ordered a pair of wide fit boots that were too narrow!! I took a risk knowing I’d need to pay for return postage. My feet are a G and the supposed H+ was too tight. I’m disappointed”

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you found this popular boot to be too narrow. They are an H fitting and you may find that if you would like to try on a half size larger, this will give you the extra area within the shoe that you need. Many customers use this method and it can work well. We do hope that you find a boot that is a better fit. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I have other Gabor shoes. Very disappointed with these ankle boots. The website says wide fitting and I also confirmed with the customer service team. As other reviewers have stated they are NOT wide fitting. I had to pay the postage to return which is unusual.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you did not find that these boots were wide enough for you, the reviews are mixed, some saying that they are lovely and roomy and a few people like yourself, who say that they do not seem wide. Your comments will help others when they are browsing. Gabor do a wider fitting which is an H (this boot is a G) or you may find that getting a half size larger, gives you the extra area within the shoe that you need. We do cover the cost of delivery, but ask customers to return unwanted items at their own cost. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I love the shoes but when ordering it is unclear if the shoe size is UK or US. I ordered a pair of boots directly from you and they are 2 sizes to large. I ordered from Amazon as well and issued a return but have not received the return package sticker from you.”

Thank you for your email. In the USA we advertise in US sizes. This means that you should be able to order your own size. If you would like to email us at sales@clinkard.co.uk with your order number, we can ensure that you get a return label fro your Amazon order. I do hope that this helps. Kind regards, Janice - cusotmer services

“I really liked the style of these shoes but the sizing of them was disappointing. They came up so large I couldn’t comfortably walk in them. I have ordered a smaller size, as they are beautiful shoes but I was sorry to find that I had to pay for return postage to send them back ( something I have not been used to with other online retailers). I hope that the smaller size shoe fits or it will have been an expensive and unsuccessful shopping experience.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your shoes were a little large and that you have had to return for exchange. We do cover the cost of postage to our customers and also for the exchange, but do ask if you can return at your own cost. You can take back to a Charles Clinkard store, we have a few not too far from you, and you have up to 365 days to return an item so long as unworn. I hope that this helps for future reference and that the exchange pair are a good fitting for you. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Received a pair of white Gabor sandals that had clearly been worn multiple times? I have returned said item and tried to re-order but in the time it has taken to sort this out you are now out of stock and not re-ordering any more 'summer' stock (sandals). Very disappointing.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you have recieved an item that appeared to have been worn. We do have some items on display and they may have been tried on, or a customer may have bought 2 sizes for fit and returned one. However all items should be quality checked to ensure that they are not damaged, nor look worn and we apologise sincerely that on this occasion we have let you down. I apologise also for your inconvenience and that we did not have more to be able to replace these for you. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“This was my first time buying Gabor shoes online. I am usually a size six, but bought half a size down after reading reviews which said the shoes came up large. They were still too big for me so needed to be returned. I had, mistakenly, thought Gabor offered free returns (like other similar brands, Geox, Camper, etc), but I discovered I had misread their website and returns are not free. It cost me just under a tenner to return them (including insurance - as I didn't want to risk ending up £100 out of pocket if the parcel got lost). That was enough to put me off ordering a smaller size, in case they also didn't fit and I would be further out of pocket, having to return those. I won't be ordering from Gabor again online. You can return to their branches, but there are none where I live (London). I like Gabor shoes, but will stick to buying them in person from concessions - or online from other retailers (like John Lewis) which offer free returns. Given how often the fit of shoes isn't quite right, it does seem a bit short sighted not to offer free returns or at least where the cost is capped (as the likes of Uniqlo and others do).”
