Collection: Gabor

Gabor is a German women's footwear brand founded in 1949 in Rosenheim, Bavaria. Over seventy-five years the brand has built a reputation on one thing above all else: fit. Gabor obsesses over the lasts (the wooden forms shoes are built around), the leather quality, and the way each style sits on the foot from the very first wear.

What customers consistently say about Gabor is that the shoes feel right out of the box. There's no painful breaking-in period. The leathers are supple from day one, the linings sit smoothly against the skin, and the toe boxes have enough room without feeling sloppy. Behind this is decades of refining the same lasts — Gabor isn't constantly reinventing fit, they're tuning what already works.

The collection spans casual loafers, smart court shoes, comfortable trainers, ankle boots, knee-high boots, sandals and slippers. Gabor doesn't chase fast fashion. Each season's range introduces a few new colours and details on existing silhouettes, with classic styles available in the same form year after year. If you find a Gabor shoe you love, it'll probably be available next year too.

Gabor sizing uses UK on our site. Most styles run true to size with one consistent quirk: the brand tends to fit slightly snug across the forefoot for the first hour of wear before softening. If you're an in-between size, going up half a size is generally safer than going down. Many styles come in G fitting (standard width) and a few in H (wider) — check the product description.

Care: most Gabor leather styles take well to regular conditioning. Avoid drying near direct heat. The brand uses high-quality leathers that age gracefully with proper care; many customers report wearing the same pair for 5+ years. Suede and nubuck Gabors benefit from a waterproofing spray applied when new and refreshed monthly during wet weather.
