“You sent the wrong shoes, I ordered a wide foot 26.966 and got the standard 06.966.46, so I am waiting to hear from you.”

“Not very fast at sending out my order. The shoes didn’t fit so I had to pay to return them. It’s taking longer than it should to refund the money for the shoes into my account. I won’t be placing another order.”

Thank you for your review. Upon looking at your order, it was placed on a Saturday and prepared for collection from the courier on the Monday. This was collected and delivered to you on the Wednesday. We have a free delivery option which states from 2 to 5 working days to dispatch, so your order was actually processed on the first working day. We do have other options available which are paid for, £3.99 for express and £5.99 for overnight. However the overnight would only have made your order one day sooner on this occasion as this would have been dispatched Monday for Tuesday delivery. Your order was returned to us and the refund processed just 7 days after your order was placed. Order placed 12th, recieved by yourself, returned and refunded on 19th. It can take up to 4 working days to show in your account, but this is to do with the banks and not ourselves. We are sorry to hear that you felt that this process slow and that you would not order again. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Quality was not what I expect. Inferior to sandals I had bought a few years before.”

Thank you for your review, we are sorry to hear that you were not happy with this very popular sandal. We cannot see a previous order for what you have bought in the past, so unsure if it was the same sandal, this one is a vey soft nubuck so you may have found that it did not seem as robust as sandals you have had in the past. We do hope that your found our return service easy and also that you found a sandal that you like better. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Order was easy to place, delivery prompt. Shoes were a different colour of blue. Fitted like a glove. Had to return at my own cost”

Hello Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. It's a shame the colour wasn't as expected, I am sorry. Had you contacted Customer Services before returning, we would have been able to assist. I can see we have refunded you in full as requested. I hope you'll continue to shop with us in future. Kind regards, Rosie, Customer Services.

“The pair I bought last year were very good so I bought the same shoe size, different colour this year. But the straps were looser so my feet went forward in them but I did not realise this until I went outside striding out . Sadly they will not exchange them as I have worn them outside . So I’m quite disappointed . I understand why they can’t exchange but I expected the fitting to be the same as it was the same size. But I am not even sure if they are wearable now as my toe touched the floor in front when I walk”

Hello Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m sorry the fitting wasn’t correct for you this time around. We do ask customers to try on around the house and be certain they are happy with the purchase before wearing the shoes outside. Unfortunately, once they have been worn outside, we are unable to accept them back. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Kind regards Michael

“I have had 4 pairs of these shoes and this latest pair were obviously substandard as the stitching to the moccasin wasn't even around the toes. Sent back but cost £9 for tracked parcel. Extremely disappointed.”

Hello Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear your most recent purchase of the Gabor California was not up to the usual standard you would have expected. If you ever receive an item that you believe not to be up to your expectations, you can always call us, we would be happy to resolve any issues for you. I have messaged you privately regarding the postage you have paid. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards Michael

“I never received them! DPD failed to deliver, advised me they had delivered to a post office then i received notice of a refund before the date that i was informed i could collect them from the Post Office. Very disappointed!”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you did not receive your order. We do not have our own courier and use either DPD or Royal Mail. Looking at the tracking your order was returned to sender. When it has arrived back with us, we have created a return and refund as we were unaware that this was not from your instructions to DPD. We do hope that you will order again and apologise sincerely for any inconvenience. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Usually Gabor shoes are a perfect fit. But my latest purchase the trainers were too narrow Returned at cost of £9.50 (wow)”

Helpful Report

Hello Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m sorry to hear the fitting wasn’t right for you on the Gabor Wye. We do provide multiple different methods on how to return your shoes to us for a lot less than the £9.50 paid. A few examples of this are the collect + label we provide on our website for £4.50 or by returning on a second class Royal Mail Tracked service for as little as £3.30. You can always contact us to discuss the best method for you, to return your parcel. Kind regards Michael

“I have had a similar style several times in the past and bought these as a slightly higher heel, knowing that they would be comfortable. The front is very comfortable but the right shoe has rubbed the back of my foot, causing a big blister and when I covered it with a plaster, it cut through that. I am not sure whether it will be possible to 'wear them in'.”

“Shows arrived in bad shape, definitely been tries many times on and looked creased. I had to pay for return £5 asking Gabor to refund return cost due to bad state of the shoes. Gabor haven't refunded postage. I am not happy and would not recommend to use this website .”

Hello Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear the condition your shoes arrived in, they may have been tried on in our stores, however, they should always be checked by our warehouse team before being dispatched. If you had contacted us prior to your return, we could have organised the return for you. I have sent you a message privately regarding the postage issue. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards Michael

“I have not received the shoes yet, so this is about the "service". I placed my order on 26 May, and it has not yet left the UK. I understand (perhaps) that international orders take longer, and I am quite literally on the other side of the globe, but this is quite odd, to say the least. Mind you, I like Gabor shoes, and I am quite certain that once they arrive I will write another, favourable review, but the shipping is very questionable.”

Hello Thank you for contacting us. As you are aware your order has been dispatched via Royal Mail and it left the UK on the 5th of June. I agree that Royal Mail have taken a little longer than expected to process it through their International Depot. Please accept my apologies for this. Once it arrives and is scanned through customs in your destination country, you will be able to follow its progress through to delivery. In my experience, now the parcel has left the UK, it won't be too long before it arrives with you. I hope this helps, but if you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards Cheryl, Customer Services

“I loved the shoes, but unfortunately they were too narrow for my feet. The reason for my low rating is that Gabor shoes charged me £9.50 for returning them via Royal Mail using the returns label provided and I consider this excessive, considering that I live on the UK mainland.”

Thank you for taking the time to leaving a review. For future you can return your item back to any of our Retail Charles Clinkard Stores, or you can return using the Collect Plus service for as little as £4.49. Royal Mail offer cheaper ways of returning also. I hope this helps and that you will shop with us again. Kind Regards Cheryl, Customer Services.

“I only purchased these shoes as they were called Wide Fit but there is nothing Wide Fit about them. Even my very slim daughter can't fit into them. Now I have to pay to return something I was mis-sold. They look like good quality though.”

Hello Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I am sorry to hear that the item you purchased wasn't as expected. I have looked into this for you and I can see the sandals you purchased from us are wide fitting, but unfortunately, the trainers are listed as a standard width. My apologies if you have missed this in the description. The following link will display the wide fitting Gabor Trainers that we have in stock in your size, should you wish to exchange. https://www.gaborshoes.co.uk/womens-c1/trainers-c5#t8:t56 I hope this helps. Kind Regards Cheryl, Customer Services.

“Shoes weren't new :(”

Thank you for your review. I am sorry if you felt that your shoes were not new. I can see that you returned one pair to our store in Newbury. Sometimes, shoes may have been tried on by a customer, but all should be quality checked before being sent to a customer and we apologise sincerely that you have been let down on this occasion. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Very Disappointed, I was expecting wide fitting trainers, the ones that arrived were not wide enough, then had to pay £11 to return them . Sadly, I won't be ordering from you again 😕”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that the shoes did not fit. With regard to the returns, it seems that you have opted for a next day signed for service. This is a premium service from Royal Mail. You could have sent back second class which only takes a day more and added tracking which would bring the cost down to around £3.50. You can also take back to a Charles Clinkard shoe store if you have one close to you, or use the collectPlus link on our website that provides a return label for £3.49, but covers up to 10 kilo so you can return several pair at once. We do deliver free of charge and if a customer wishes an exchange, again cover the cost to the customer, but we do ask if an item is to be returned, that the customer can cover the return costs. I hope that this information is of help if you do order again in the future. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Despite there being a label attached to the shoe (trainer) stating a removable soft cushioned inner sole was included, none was provided. Consequently the inner sole is very hard and without any cushioning, uncomfortable to wear hence why they were returned for a refund. Such a shame but at a cost of £99 they do need to be pleasant to wear.”

, Thank you for taking the time to share your Gabor Shoe experience with us. We're sorry to hear that there were issues with the product, we did check that the shoes innersoles were removable and were able to take them out, so we are sorry to hear that you found the shoes to be hard. We do that you find something that you like as much and are more comfortable for you. Sincerely, Janice - customer services

“Very disappointed I had hoped for some very comfortable shoes after paying quite a lot for them but actually they feel no more comfortable than a cheap pair. they pinched and rubbed as soon as I tried them on possible because I have quite a wide foot and these felt a narrow fitting hence the shoes are being returned.”

Thank you so much for your feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. We are sorry that the shoes felt a narrow fitting and pinched and rubbed when you put them on. We do have some similar wider fitting shoes that you may like, If you copy and past this link, it will take you straight to them. https://www.gaborshoes.co.uk/womens-c1/shoes-c2#t32:t8:t9 With you having a wider foot, and buying a standard fitting shoe, if you opt for a half size bigger, many of our customers feel that this also gives extra area within the shoe and makes for a better fit, I find this works for me too, so if I get a regular fit, get a half size bigger, if a wide fit, get your own size. We hope that you find something that you like. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I wanted to like the trainers I ordered. The style and quality were good, however, the seam stitching rubbed my little toe. The delivery service was fairly fast. My main disappointment was the high cost of returning the shoes so I wouldn't order again.”

Hello Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you liked the shoes and the service we provided. For future, you can return using a second-class mail service which keeps the cost down. You can also buy a label on our website from a link to collect Plus for £4.49. With the above in mind, I hope you’ll reconsider shopping with us again. Kind regards Michael
