“My husband got them for me but unfortunately they are not as comfy.. the arch doesnt support my feet.. they're all the way back and the soles are very thin. Very dissapointed as the price of them does not reflect.”

“No problem with ordering or delivery of these shoes. However they are not particularly comfortable. I was surprised as this is the trend from the previous reviews. The soles are very thin which means that you can feel everything as you walk. It is advised that you size up half size in these shoes, I did this and they were too big. I think this is to account for how narrow they are. All this did was make them slip off at the back.”

“The pattern and heel height were suitable. Cost of return excessive as shoes did not fit to my normal size. Disappointed customer.”

We offer a free standard UK delivery with no minimum spend. However, we do ask the customer to pay the returns cost. Returns can be taken into a Charles Clinkard store or returned to our Head Office. We do recommend a tracked service, however it is up to the customer to return whichever method is convenient. We do offer a Collect Plus label through the returns section of our website, which is £4.49 for up to 10kg of returns, which can be suitable for those returning multiple or heavier items.

“Ordered knee high boots in size 4.5 but when they arrived the leg length was way too long so that I couldn't bend my knee without it cutting into the back of my knee. Please designers, understand that a woman who wears size 4 or 4.5 is probably under 5ft 4 so why make boots in ridiculous leg lengths, boots in this size should have a leg height of below 14in. Also, it would be more beneficial to the customer if Geox could display leg lengths in the description. Other than this, they were a nice quality boot and I would have kept them if the leg length was less.”

Hello, Thankyou for your review. We are sorry you found the style unsuitable for you, as size is personal there is no guarantee of the perfect fit. We appreciate your feedback and we will ensure your suggestions regarding showing the length of the boot are included in the description are forwarded on for future listings. If we can offer help regarding any of the items we have on sale please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

“This was the first time I ordered from Gabor online. The Delphino boots size 7 arrived in a box that was already torn and the tissue paper inside was also not in good condition. So from the moment I opened the box my experience unfortunately got off to a sub par start. The right one of the Delphino boots had something wrong with it - the place inside the boot where the heel sits was not level compared to the left boot. There was a bump which made it uneven so effectively it was faulty. Judging from the condition of the box and the wrapping paper plus the issue with the shoe it seemed to me that perhaps I had been sent a pair returned by someone else. To return the boots I wrapped them carefully and posted them yesterday as a tracked parcel via Royal Mail as advised by customer services. The postage cost me close to 5 pounds. I thought initially maybe my poor experience was because I had made the purchase on a website I had never used before (Charles Clinkard) as I had googled Delphino boots and they had my size. I have never used this website before and against my better judgment I made the purchase. However I now realize this company is actually Gabor themselves! When I emailed customer services informing my decision to return the boots I was advised (the reply came a day later) that only if I took the boots to one of their stores miles away I could return them free of charge. Very clunky customer service. In this day and age of online shopping I have never seen this kind of inconvenience. All retailers I shop from include free of charge return postage labels when they ship their products. It is hugely inconvenient for the client to be put through such an onerous and costly return process. I had to leave work early to go and queue at the post office so I could pay for the tracked return. Maybe Gabor needs to learn from its competitors. All in all it was a poor experience and I doubt I will be buying again. By comparison, Fitflop have impeccable customer experience and far superior quality, plus they include a return label free of charge inside their shoe boxes which always arrive in perfect condition. Thank you for the opportunity to feed back. Perhaps you would kindly let me have your response. Kind regards”

“You have to pay £4:49 to send things back which is a lot considering most companies do it for free now. This will deter me from shopping with you again.”

“I have bought Gabor shoes and found 6 and a half the perfect fit. The shoes I ordered on line were too small and I had expected them to be black but they were navy, not even dark navy, but obviously blue. I sent them back and bore the cost of the postage but this was actually the last straw. Shoes were too tight, the wrong colour and I paid the price. Will not order on line again.”

Hello, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you were unhappy with your recent purchase. You ordered the Gabor Azalea, in the colour Atlantic Metallic Caru, which is blue not black unfortunately. It is difficult to determine fit without trying on the item, as different styles within a brand can fit differently due to factors such as width and shape. We currently do not offer free returns, however we appreciate the feedback regarding the returns policy and will pass this onto the correct department, as we are constantly reviewing our policies to ensure the best service for our customers. Your return has been received and a refund has been processed accordingly. If you require any assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.

“Really good quality boots, but not very well described for a really expensive item being traded over the internet, considering the buyer has to return them at his/her own expense. The cost of which, with full insurance cover was £11, that’s £11 with nothing to show for it just because the width fitting was poorly described. What would you say a knee length boot being described as extra wide was? Wide foot or leg? No leg! Sorry Gabor, very nice boots, but I can’t afford to come back, chances are I will misunderstand your description!”

“The sizes are wrong and while one just fits (very uncomfortably) the other is at least 2 sizes too small. No consistency and extremely stressful as the boots were for a function last weekend. I had to purchase more from Hotter as I know their sizes are correct.”

“I searched the web with care for I really need wide fit shoes. Finally searched under “walking shoes:wide fit. Only your “rolling sole” trainers came up but the write up claimed they were equivalent of Gabor H- ideal. They were delivered very promptly and delivery company gave amazingly accurate delivery times. But neither on the shoes or on the box were there any reference to widerfit nor to Gabor H. Never had a pair of Gabor Hs that didn’t say so. I tried them on and they were ok. But after a day’s walking? No confirmation of width. £125 for discomfort. They are going back- and I am having to pay post. Nice one when Gabor’s lack of clear information is the problem.”

“The boots were so different from my previous purchase 2 years ago. The sizing was completely different and the ‘lace ups’ were false: there is a zip at the side which is uncomfortable and means you cannot tighten the ankles properly, very disappointing because my first purchase was so successful. Also, I don’t appreciate having to pay £4.90 to return the boots! I won’t be using your service again. Other retailers offer free returns!”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that the boots that you received did not match the pair that you have had previously. The leather does stretch as little as you wear them and it can feel tighter at first. However with the other things that you mention, this may not be a comfortable boot for you. With regard to the return cost, we do deliver free of charge but as if customers can return either to a Charles Clinkard store or send back to us. We do not cover the return costs, but would send out an exchange where we would cover the postage. We hope that you find something more suited to your requirments.

“They took a lot longer than other retailers to arrive. I decided to return them as they were slightly too small. They were over £50 (£140) and so I emailed you to ask what was the best way to return them, as on your website you say returns are only insured to that amount, I didn’t have a reply so decided to take them to the post office and send them recorded delivery which cost me over £11! I don’t think I would order from you again as I think it was a costly would be purchase.”

“2 things 1. delivery was poor and your customer service was unable to support said it was up to DPD but that is a shame as when ordering online delivery is essential part of my experience. 2 am returning both pairs as although the right shoe size the calf reach was insufficient and couldn’t do up the zip - I can assure you I do not have an unusual sized calf circumference! Again a shame as the boots were beautiful. All in all after waiting for them to be delivered only to discover they did not fit it was a poor experience”

Hello, Thankyou for your review. We have looked into this for you and can see there was an issue with delivery which was down to DPD. As the parcel was in their hands we hoped this would be resolved quickly for you and are sorry this has caused disappointment. With regards to the style not being suitable, as size is personal it is difficult to confirm an item will fit and the best way is to try for size. The two pairs ordered were two different calf cirumferences and we are sorry to hear neither were suitable for you. We have contacted you privately to offer a resolution and hope you will consider returning again for your Gabor purchase. Kind Regards Nicola Customer Services
