“I hope this message finds you well. I recently placed an order, and at the time of purchase, I was informed that the delivery charges would be around £7, which was acceptable to me. However, a few days later, I received an email from the delivery company, DPD, stating that the product is coming from outside the EU and that an additional €24 in charges would be required. DPD gave me the option to either proceed with the order or cancel it, and I chose to cancel. They then informed me that the product would be returned to you, the seller. I have been waiting for your guidance on how to proceed with this order. If possible, I can provide you with a UK address for delivery. If that is not an option, I would like to proceed with canceling the order and receiving a refund. Please let me know how you'd like to move forward. Thank you for your assistance.

We cannot change the address due to the strict rules of PayPal, but you can place a new order with the English address for delivery yourself if you wish. I hope that this helps.

“The two pairs of trainers I bought were very uncomfortable with the leather tongue being too long sticking into my lower leg. If I wore them for any length of time, I am sure they would creat a sore area and break the skin.”

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the trainers were uncomfortable. It’s important to us our products not only look good but feel good too. As these trainers are leather, they can be rigid at first but soften with wear. This is why we have a 365 day returns policy, to give customers to chance to wear around the house to see if this improves wearability. We hope you shop with us again and are able to find a comfortable replacement. If you have further questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team. Kind regards, Hannah, Customer Services

“Ordered Navy Gabor Bolan Women Ankle Boots (1044035201) and they should have been wide fitting, these were an extremely narrow boot and certainly not a wide fit. Returned at my cost and refund processed promptly”

“Lovely quality but had to return them, although wide fitting in foot, zip on legs would not meet by over 1 inch, ankles also very narrow. Please make more large leg boots, the only one available this year in a small size looked like wellies!”

Thank you for leaving us a review. I'm sorry to hear that the fit of the boots was not suitable.

We appreciate your feedback and please be assured it has been passed along to the relevant department. Kind regards, Hannah, Customer Services

“Ankle boots were described as Bronz and looked brown but were a very odd metallic colour. I was not happy to pay the cost of the return.”

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m sorry to hear that the color of the ankle boots was not as expected. We make every effort to display colours accurately but a product's true colour may not exactly match that shown on your device or on our website. We do ask customers to cover the cost of returns postage as outlined in our terms and conditions. Please accept my apologies if this was not apparent when placing your order.

“These boots are supposed to be wide fitting but I would consider them to be narrow. So disappointed otherwise they were exactly what I was looking for.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your review and for sharing your findings with regard to the fit of these boots. This will help others when browsing. If you maybe try a half size larger, you may find that the extra length is minimal, however it creates more area within the shoe so a roomier fitting. It doesnt work for everyone but many customers who need a wider fitting, use this method. I do hope that this helps. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Boots are fine - packaging leaves a lot to be desired - arrived in a cardboard box which was split at three corners & looked as if it had been kicked along the warehouse floor. At £125 for the pair of boots I think we deserved much better packaging. Unfortunately as a Christmas present they will look like they were bought in a Jumble Sale - very disappointing!”

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that the box has been damaged. The box is there ultimately to protect the contents in transit and I am happy to hear that the boots are ok. We apologise sincerely for the disappointment with regard to the box. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I ordered the bronze boots size 7, I have boots and shoes in that size from Gabor. These were too small I could only just get them zipped up ! Very disappointed as I then had to pay to return them .”

Thank you for your review and for sharing your findings with regard to the fitting of these wide fitting boots. You may find that a half size larger gives you the extra area that you need. The extra length is minimal but the area increases so gives extra room. And a bonus is that the bronze are reduced in price at the present time. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I am really disappointed with the shoes that I have received. On the webpage they looked like the previous pair I had purchased, however these are much narrower. They hurt my feet when I wear them and have left the backs of my feet with blisters. I don't feel like I can wear them again.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that the shoes that you have bought are not a good fit for you and that you find them to be tight. Unfortunately once shoes have been worn, we are unable to accept them back. Once your feet have healed, if you wear them around the home, you should find that the leather will warm and stretch a little and also your feel will get used to them. We do hope that you find in time that you are able to wear this very popular classic shoe again. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you received a pair of boots that had not been re packed. If a customer orders 2 pair for size and returns one, they do go back into sale, but should be checked upon their return that they are perfect and also re packaged if required. We do hope that you will accept our apology that on this occasion we have let you down and we are genuinely sorry for your disappointment. Thank you for also commenting that you were happy with the customer services and the return service that you received. Kind regards, Janice - Customer services

“The delivery was quick. Sadly the quality of the shoe was terrible. Fit was fine so I decided to go for a walk. I had peeled skin after just 30 minutes of walk. The shoes left black colour marks on my knee highs which was very annoying. The customer service was very quick to respond and they sent me a prepaid return label. I have sent the shoes back and am waiting for their reply. It's sad because I really liked the shoe. I have been wearing Gabor shoes for many years but it was very disappointing this time.”

“Have only worn these shoes a couple of times and they mark so easily. The brushes they recommend don’t help either. Only suitable for wearing indoors I would say.”

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. With nubuck, it is recommended to dry clean with a brush or suede/nubuck cleaner. Protective and reviving sprays are also a good tool to use as this can minimise stains and make them easier to buff out. These can be found in most footwear retailers. Unfortunately nubuck can pick up dirt easily, so does need to be cleaned often. But the right care can prolong the life of the shoes. If you need any advice, our Customer Service Team is available 7 days a week and happy to help. Kind regards, Hannah, Customer Services

“The shoes were lovely ... But returned because they were too tight which surprised me as they were my usual Gabor size. Also the box they came in was tatty and had obviously been used before. Cus. Services said the box was only there to protect the shoes which came as another surprise as they were an expensive pair of shoes.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that this lovely boot was too narrow for you. I find that if a boot is slightly narrow, I get a half size larger as the extra length is minimal but the extra area within the shoe means a much more comfortable fitting. Many of our customers also use this method and although it doesnt work for everyone, it does for many. With regard to the box, we do re-box into a plain box if the box becomes soft or ripped, but if it is damaged in transit, then unfortunately the box has done its job and protected the shoes within. It does sound that on this occasion, it was torn and should have been re-boxed and I am sorry that it was not. We do hope that you find a boot that is a better fitting for you. Kind regards, Janice - customer services
