“Product is great but arrived damaged, with a cut on the front. Despite assurances that a replacement would be sent, it was not despatched until 5 days after my call to customer services. Then, knowing there was a 2 day postal strike the next day, the replacement was sent Royal mail. Having returned the damaged pair after 10 days I am still waiting for the replacement pair. Reputation is built on customer services - this was not a great experience.”

Thank you for your review. I apologise sincerely that your order has not arrived with you yet and you have had to wait for your replacement shoes. Unfortunately we do not have our own courier and use either Royal Mail or DPD. We should on this occasion have used DPD for you, as you correctly state, Royal Mail are striking and it has caused delays. I am genuinally sorry that this is the case and do hope that your order arrives with you early in the coming week. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I have had these boots for years but this year they are incredibly narrow so I am afraid these will have to go back”

“Saw Gabor Hi Top Trainers in John Lewis but did not have my size. Ordered online at £110. Came in next day , box perfect, boots perfect with all transit packing in boots and box. Looked online to see reviews of boots and Gabor had them at £80. If the difference was a couple of pounds I would not have bothered. Re-Ordered online from Gabor on 27/10 and it took ages for them to arrive with no tracking details or emails. Had to ring and was told they were out of stock potentially and might have to come from a store into a hub then out to me. Arrived eventually on 3rd Nov. Box damaged, boots scuffed , no packaging inside boots, display type ticket on boots made an indent. Obviously a shop pair that others may have tried on. Not good at all really but could not face sending them back and trying to get the John Lewis ordered again. I guess the £30 off makes up for the less than great customer experience.”

Thank you for your review. Colour on a computer can differ slightly depending on the browser that is used by the cusotmer. It should be taken as an indication and not an exact colour. We are sorry that you found the colour not to be suitable for your needs. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Love the shoes however this time didn’t fit and I was unaware of the cost to return the two pairs! So pretty disappointed in that.”

Helpful Report

Posted 2 years ago

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you had to return the shoes because they did not fit. We do deliver free of charge, and would send out any exchanges where we cover the postage cost to the customer. But we do ask customes to cover the cost of returns. You can buy a label from a link to Collect + on our website where for £4.49, you can return up to 10 kilos. You can also return items to any Charles Clinkard store if you have one near to you. I do hope that this helps for future reference. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Unfortunately, neither of the pairs of shoes ordered fitted nicely so i returned them - the cost to return them was outrageous...and i would not buy from a site without free returns again.”

Helpful Report

Posted 2 years ago

Thank you for your review. There is a link on our website to Collect +, this is £4.49 and would cover up to 10 kilos of returns in one package. This would allow you to send several pair of shoes back ifor this low cost. If you wish to send back via Royal Mail, you can send back using a 2nd class package which will keep the cost low, you can then for an extra 80p or so, add tracking so that you can see when they arrive. An expensive next day service is not required as we allow up to one year for unworn items to be returned for refund. You can also take unwanted items back to a Charles Clinkard store if you have one close to you. We are sorry to hear that you were charged a lot for your return and hope that the above information is of help for future reference. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Shoes not as wide as stated plus had to pay to return out of own pocket. Dissatisfied with service considering the cost of the shoes. Have bought before but first time to buy online.”

Helpful Report

Posted 2 years ago

Thank you for your review. We do deliver to customers free of charge, but as stated in our terms and conditions ask for returns to be paid for by the customer. There is a link on our website to collect+ which allows you to return up to 10 kilo (so several pair of shoes) for the low cost of £4.49. You can however choose any postal or courier service that you wish. You can also take items back to any Charles Clinkard store. I hope that this helps for future reference. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Shoes arrived in a poor state. When I opened the box I knew these shoes were not in top condition. The wrapping paper around the shoes was very creased. The shoes look as if they had been handled by someone with dirty or dusty hands. One shoe had a wooden stick. The bows on the shoes were not covered. The tips of the toes were shiny. The shoes looked as if they had been returned and then sent out to me without any inspection. I had to wear them as I was going to a wedding and didn’t have time to get another pair. When I buy shoes on line they are usually in a pristine condition so I was very disappointed. I have bought Gabor shoes before without a problem so will still give an 8.”

Shoes may be returned to us, however, they should be inspected for quality before being returned to stock, and then inspected again before being sent out to a customer.

“Sadly wide-fit do not have an appropriate wide sole, so foot will start to hang over the edges. Otherwise really lovely boot.”

Helpful Report

Posted 2 years ago

Thank you for your review. These boots are an H fitting so should feel wide in the sole as well as the boot. I am sorry that you did not find this the case and do hope that you find something that is a better fit for you. Thank you for sharing your findings. Kind regards, Janice - custoemr services

“I was delighted with my shoes when I received them. I then tried them on. The beautiful soft leather at the front of the shoe appeared to have a thin wire inside it at the front. This dug in to the top of my toes really hurting. I was very disappointed.”

Thank you for your review. I am sincerely sorry that you have found these shoes to be unsuitable. Please would you contact us on 0345 241 7742 so that we can discuss this with you? Shoes should not have a wire that causes discomfort and we would welcome the opportunity to have these back for inspection. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“The fit and material not what it used to be I’m returning both pairs”

Helpful Report

Posted 3 years ago

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are finding the fit not suitable for you. There are several ranges from Gabor, such as Comfort, Rolling soft etc, and each may fit slightly differently as the width may differ. It may be an idea to go into a Charles Clinkard or other Gabor shop if you have one close to see which style is the best fit for you? Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I should have read the returns policy,I had to pay for postage back and it was Charles Clinkard who I had to return to, won’t be using your website again”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your review. We do deliver free of charge but ask customers to cover the cost of returns. You can take returns back to a Charles Clinkard store if it is more convenient. We offer up to one year so long as the item is unworn for you to do this. Charles Clinkard does run the Gabor website in the UK. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Have worn Gabor shoes for years and this is the first time I have ordered pair that were too tight and very uncomfortable”

Helpful Report

Posted 3 years ago

Thank you for your review. This shoe is a Hi Tec finish on the upper and not leather, like most Gabor shoes, this may have made a difference to the feel of the shoe. Your findings will help others when browsing and we thank you for taking the time to comment. Kind regards, Janice - cusotmer services

“not happy with your sizng. I need a UK 8 and ordered it but it was a 9. so had to send sll three pairs back and it cost me over £8. I did not know you didnt pay for returns so will not order again”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your review and for commenting on our sizing. We are sorry to hear that you found these shoes to be too big for you. I have checked the shoes that you returned and they are all a size 8 as ordered, however, they are also extra wide fitting so this may be why you found them to be too large for you. Personally, I find that if I buy a wide fit, I need to get a smaller size either a half size less or a size less to reduce the area within the shoe. This may help for future reference. we do pay the postage to you and if an exchange is needed, we would cover the postage to you again, but we do ask customers to cover return costs or take them back to a Charles Clinkard store. We do have a store not too far from you and offer up to 1 year for returns to be refunded so long as they are unworn. We do hope that you find a shoe that is a better fit for you. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that the shoes that you have bought are the widest fitting that Gabor do. We do have similar shoes that are standard fitting. I have added the web details below. https://www.gaborshoes.co.uk/womens-c1/trainers-c5/standard-t7 I can personally recommend the Gabor Wisdom. Kind regards Janice - customer services
