First part was all good - shoes arrived promptly. Delivery arrived when it said it would. Very surprised that I had to pay for returning the shoes. I have never had to do that before with online shopping. This would make me hesitate before buying on line again

Waited over a week for my delivery to come through. Called customer service and was told it would be delivered that same day or Saturday. I got an email Sunday saying my returns has been received. That was very disappointing. I called customer service and lady kindly told me the collect shop had refused the parcel. The shop was listed on your website so I don’t understand why the parcel was rejected! I reordered the shoes but really disappointed in the service.

Hello, Thankyou for your reivew. We are sorry you were disappointed in the service. The store chosen for delivery rejected the order and there has been no more information give regarding this. I note my colleague replaced this for you and selected a different method of delivery and you now have your shoes.

Shoes were bought to replace an identical pair bought through John Lewis that fitted perfectly but the end of the bow came untied after being worn three times and had to be returned. Same size purchased but the replacement pair were significahtly bigger and didn’t fit. Had to return to shop as you don’t do free returns. Very disappointed,

Hello, Thankyou for your review. We are sorry you were disappointed with the Gabor Alvin which you purchased online. Gabor offer a wide range of shoes and some do have similar attributes although may have a different fit to them. We cannot guarantee a style will fit you especially as size is very personal and many factors can affect this. Whilst we do offer free standard delivery on everything, unfortunately free returns isn’t something we offer at the moment however we are always actively reviewing this and may look to offer this in the future. Our free delivery allows the customer to order as many pairs as they require on a standard 2-5 working days service. If you require any assistance regarding the range do not hesitate to contact our friendly Customer Services Team on 0345 241 7742. Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

I ordered a pair of Brook SLIM knee lengths boots and, before doing so, called your customer services to check that the boots really were slim fitting as I have slim legs and small ankles. I was told they were so ordered them in good faith. I was very disappointed on receipt to find they were anything but slim fitting. The circumference at the top may have been for smaller calves but the rest of the leg was extremely baggy and unflattering. Surely SLIM means slim all the way through the leg not just at the top. Very unsatisfactory and, due to Gabor's returns policy, I then had to pay to return them. A lesson learnt not to purchase boots online again.

Hello, Thankyou for your review. Gabor Brook S are ideal for our customers who have a slimmer calf measurement. They are a standard width fitting in the foot however we are unable to provide an ankle size as this is very difficult to measure accurately. We are unable to guarantee this will fit every person especially as size is very personal and many factors do affect this. We are naturally very disappointed you did not enjoy your recent shopping experience and have sent you an email via your order regarding this and hope to restore your faith in online shopping. Please be assured your feedback regarding the fit of the boot will assist other customers with your choice and we appreciate the time you took to write these details down. If we can offer additional assistance please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards Nicola Customer Services

It is now showing as delivered and we have attempted to contact you directly to confirm this.

The website was not easy to use, especially when going through the payments. I ended up with the same purchase of 2 pairs of ankle boots sent to me twice. What was more irritating was that meant it cost me nearly £10 to return the one pair I chose not to buy plus the 2 pairs you sent in error. I won't be buying online from Charles Clinker again.

Hi Ros Thank you for your comments. I am disappointed to read that you were having difficulty ordering online - please know that we have a friendly customer services team who are here to assist if you do have difficulties like this. Please just give us a call on 0345 241 7742 and we will be happy to help you complete your purchase. Unfortunately whilst we offer free delivery, we do not offer free returns currently. This is something we regularly review - so thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback. On our website we suggest Collect+ for returns especially when it is multiple items- because the cost is capped at £4.09. I hope with this in mind you will reconsider shopping with us again in the future. Kind regards Sam, Customer Services Manager

Not really. I didn't think the shoes were presented in pristine condition. Looked like they had been around a bit. It is the fourth pair I have had in this design piquet and have always had 5.5 but they were too small for me. I didn't want to have to pay, the returns if I had to send them back again.

Dear Jean Thankyou for your review. Items are sourced from our warehouse and from stores across the country, they may have been tried on or on display however this should not impact on the overall quality of the shoe. Our rigorous checking procedures should also highlight any issues and its very disappointing that the pair you received were not of the quality you would expect from Gabor. The Gabor Piquet are a wide fit shoe however there is a similar design called the Gabor Orient which you may like, if you check out the link below this will take you to this: https://www.charlesclinkard.co.uk/women-c1/shoes-c2/orient-womens-wide-fit-casual-shoes-p12934 With regards to returns, we do ask customers to pay for these and we offer a free delivery servce which we have been advised is more beneficial however please be assured we will look into this option in the future. We have issued you a refund for your return and we hope you will give Charles Clinkard another opportunity to restore your faith. We are available 7 days a week and you can call 0345 241 7742 or additionally you are welcome to send an email to sales@clinkard.co.uk. Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

I regularly buy Gabor shoes and know my size. I ordered 'medium width' boots and could not do the zip up even half way. I am someone of normal size although I do cycle. The free delivery was only click and collect and nothing near me so I had to pay for delivery. When the boots didn't fit I took them to the Post Office and sent by the method you advised - £11 !!! So the time and cost I was trying to save ended up costing me more time and money. I would not risk getting another pair online as a result.

Dear Ariane, Thankyou for your review. We are sorry you were disappointed with your purchase. The Gabor Lancaster are a wide fit boot with a calf circumference of 34.2 to 39.4 depending on the size of the wearers foot. The measurement for this style would have been around 36.8cm based on the size you order. Express delivery is dispatched within 2-3 working days and is £2.99, we offer a free standard service which is dispatched within 5 days. Items can also be sent to a Collectplus point (this is free) or to a local Charles Clinkard store. We have refunded your items back to the payment method used when you first placed your order and I have sent a seperate email regarding your return post. If you have any questions about the Gabor range you are very welcome to call 0345 241 7742 and a member of the Customer Services team can assist. We are available 7 days a week up to 8pm on Mondays to Thursdays. We hope you will take another look at the range on offer. Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

Very disappointed to realise that the shoes I purchased from you are available at -50% from Shoetique.
Helpful Report
Posted 8 years ago
Hello Catherine, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The shoes you purchased from us are not available with 50% off - Shoetique have very low stock in one size, a size 3, which is why they have reduced the item so significantly. In a size 4, the size you needed, they did not have this in stock available. Different companies will reduce items for different reasons, and indeed you will be able to find items reduced on our website at certain times of the year that are not reduced elsewhere. I am sorry if this caused you any disappointment and I hope this has not put you of shopping with us again in the future. We do have a price match promise, so if there is something available at a lower price elsewhere, we will be happy to match that. For full terms and conditions please see our website. Kind regards Sam, Customer Services

Ordered sandals on line, on opening box one sandal was marked. Whatever quality checking occurs prior to despatch appears to have failed. Luckily I have a local Charles Clinkard so went into the store. They tried a suede brush but could not remove the mark. I had a refund, and have ordered another pair from them. Shop staff were very helpful, as usual.

Dear Diana Thankyou for your review. We have checked your previous orders and can see that your most recent purchase was a different width fitting to the other items you received before. Previously you ordered a Gabor California which is a wide fitting shoe, this current item is a Gabor Vesta-this is a standard width and also a high heel so the fit would be very different. If you are lookin for wide fit court shoes please follow this link and hopefully there will be something there that you like. https://www.gaborshoes.co.uk/womens-c1/shoes-c2/court-shoes-c82/wide-t8 I hope the above will be of help.

The Gabor Portland are a classic style which offers comfort and with the additional feature of removable insoles make them a popular choice.

We do ask customers to pay towards returns as we offer a competitive free delivery service which has the item delivered within 5 working days however will pass on your comments regarding returns costs to the relevant team. We have sent a seperate email to you and if we can offer further assistance do not hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

The shoes were much too big not the correct size at all. Then to pay to send them back is a bit unfair. I have bought your shoes many times but I will be buying from a shop not online anymore.

I was disappointed to find that I had to pay for a return. When buying shoes online it's so hard to tell if they will fit so I might need to order more than one pair.
