Gabor Shoes 5 star review on 27th June 2025

“The sandals were lovely, as expected for Gabor. However, the box had seen better days and it was clear from the labelling that they were last years stock, which had been reduced and the sandals were rather dusty, having likely been sat in a store on the shelf and remained unsold until I purchased them. On ringing Gabor they agreed to honour the sale price and gave me a refund. Overall a bit disappointed.”

Thank you for taking the time to review our Gabor Shoes. We’re sorry to hear that the box had seen better days, that the sandals seemed to be last year's stock, which had been reduced and the sandals were rather dusty. That's not what you'd expect from Gabor Shoes. All orders should be quality checked before dispatch, we are sorry on this occasion that we have let you down and will ask our dispatch team to be more careful to avoid disappointment to others. Thanks again for sharing your experience. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

We do deliver free of charge and ask customers to pay the return postage costs or return to a Charles Clinkard store as stated in our returns policy and also in our terms and conditions. You can return using a second class mail service which keeps the cost down and then add tracking for aproximately 80 pence extra. You can also buy a label on our website from a link to collect Plus where for £4.49 you can buy a label that covers up to 10 kilo in once package. we are sorry to hear that you find this disappointing and hope that it will not put you off ordering in the future. Kind regards, Janice - customer services.

“Very disappointed. Trainers arrived and were not Gabor branded and too large. On their way back to you. If I purchase direct from Gabor website i expected the product to be yours.”

We are sorry if you have been disappointed with the trainers and will of course refund any unworn items that are returned to us. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“The order took a long time to arrive and the item was marked when I opened it. The fit was very narrow. Not a standard width. I returned the item and it has cost me £9 to get the cheapest tracked service. I did not realise that returns were not free.”

“Your shoes are being made in a different factory now because the fit is different and they look cheaper . It’s a shame”

Helpful Report

Posted 2 years ago

Thank you for your review. There have been no significant changes in where shoes are made, nor the sizing, we are sorry if you feel that the fit is not the same. Quality is very important to us, there may be some styles that are more delicate, or of different materials to keep up with current trends, but you should find that all are finished to a high standard. We do hope that you will try a different style where you will find something more suited to your requirements. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

Thank you for your review. We do deliver free of charge but ask if customers can cover the cost of returns. You can take back to any Charles Clinkard store, or send back using a courier or Royal Mail service. There is also a link on our website to Collect + where you can purchase a label for £4.49 and this will cover up to 10 kilo in one package allowing several returns to be sent back together. This may help for future reference. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Seem to be narrower than normal but no indication of what width the shoe is. Also the zip over the big toe is not comfortable as it begins just where the join on the big toe is.”

Thank you for your review of the Gabor Wisdom. This is a standard fitting shoe, we are sorry to hear that you found it a little narrow for your requirements. There are similar shoes in a wider fitting, if you use the filters on the site, it asks if you would like standard or wide, you may find that there is a shoe that you like as much that is a better fit for you on this occasion. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Although described as wide, the boots were actually standard width. In fact they were quite narrow. Sadly I had to return them. As the return is at your own expense, I won't be ordering again.”

“Gabor shoes has been a brand I have used regularly. However as I have got older but still love nice boots and shoes, I have found Gabor shoes and boots not wide enough even those labelled as wide fit. Have had to return 2 pairs of boots, too narrow. All my friends have same problem. We want nice shoes but our wishes are certainly not needed.”

Thank you for your review and for sharing your findings. Some of our customers have found that by getting a half size larger, this increases the area within the shoe and makes for a better fit. It does not work for everyone, however it may be worth a try for you to see if the shoe is more comfortable. If the shoe becomes a little too roomy, you can add an insole and then when you change these on occasion, then it keeps the inside of the shoes fresher too. I hope that you find this information helpful. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“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

“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.”

“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.”

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

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.

“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.”

Thank you for your review. These boots are an H fitting so should feel wide in the sole as well as the boot.
