About Gabor: Gabor is a German women’s comfort shoe brand, founded in 1949. They are best known for offering standard, wide and extra-wide fittings alongside sensible everyday styles, from sandals and trainers through to ankle boots. Many pairs have removable footbeds, and the Rollingsoft line is worth a look if you want something comfortable from the first wear.
Gabor women’s shoes are sized in UK sizes and generally come up true to size, with a slightly roomier fit than many fashion brands. Many styles come in more than one width, and the removable footbeds leave room for an orthotic. We stock from UK 2.5 (EU 35) to UK 9 (EU 43).
Gabor’s German width codes: F is standard (roughly UK C+), G is wide (UK D) and H is extra wide (UK D+). If no width is shown on the listing, assume a standard F fit.
A Gabor feature that widens the tread area under the forefoot for more room at the ball of the foot, while keeping a neater fit through the heel.
Gabor’s rolling-sole comfort range, designed to follow the natural roll of your foot and reduce fatigue on longer walks.
A cushioned insole that lifts out to make room for an orthotic or for easy cleaning.
Most Gabor styles run true to size on length, though pointed toes or narrower lasts can feel snug at your usual size. We would always check the foot length in cm on our chart and, if you are between sizes or have a wider forefoot, try the G or H fitting before sizing up.
F is Gabor’s standard fitting (roughly UK C+), G is wide (UK D) and H is their widest option (UK D+ or EE). If the product listing does not name a width, you can usually assume it is a standard F fit.
Best Fitting is a Gabor feature that widens the tread area under the forefoot, giving more room at the ball of the foot while keeping a neater fit through the heel. It is not the same thing as a G or H wide fitting, though the two can appear on the same shoe.
Many Gabor comfort styles have a removable footbed, which gives useful extra depth for a slim orthotic or replacement insole. If your orthotic is quite thick, bring it with you when you try the shoe on or ask us and we can suggest a style with more volume.
Yes. Gabor knee-high and taller boots are often listed with a calf or shaft width as well as the foot fitting, which matters if you have slim legs or need room for trousers tucked inside. Measure around the widest part of your calf and check the shaft size on the style you are looking at.
Many Gabor comfort shoes and trainers, particularly Rollingsoft styles, feel comfortable straight away. Firmer leather dress shoes and some heeled styles may need a few short wears to soften, especially if you are new to the brand.
