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 fit & sizing tips

  • True to size, and check the fitting. Gabor is a German brand offering width fittings marked F, G or H on the box and product listing. F is standard, G is wide and H is extra wide, so check yours alongside your usual UK size.
  • Rollingsoft styles need less breaking in. Gabor’s Rollingsoft range has a curved sole that rolls through each step, so they feel comfortable from the first wear without the stiff break-in some dressier styles need.
  • Removable footbeds on comfort styles. Many Gabor shoes have a footbed that lifts out, useful for orthotics.
  • Our take. A dependable, comfort-led brand that still looks smart enough for work or occasion wear.

Gabor Women’s Shoes

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).

Glossary

F, G and H width fittings

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.

Best Fitting

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.

Rollingsoft

Gabor’s rolling-sole comfort range, designed to follow the natural roll of your foot and reduce fatigue on longer walks.

Removable footbed

A cushioned insole that lifts out to make room for an orthotic or for easy cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Gabor shoes run true to size?

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.

What do the F, G and H width fittings mean?

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.

What is Gabor Best Fitting?

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.

Can I fit orthotics in Gabor shoes?

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.

Do Gabor boots come in different calf widths?

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.

Do Gabor shoes need breaking in?

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.
