Fit is where Gabor pulls ahead of most footwear brands, a problem two brothers set out to solve in 1949 when they opened a shoe factory near Hamburg. That practical streak from Rosenheim in Bavaria still runs through every pair. We stock Gabor shoes at Shirley Allum in Shaftesbury across heels, trainers, sandals and flats, most available in narrow and wide fittings.
Fit is where Gabor pulls ahead of most footwear brands. Multiple width fittings run through the range, from wedge sandals and slingbacks to suede trainers and ballerina pumps, so a genuinely wide foot or a narrow heel both get a proper fit rather than a compromise.
The company traces back to 1919, when Pius Gabor opened a small shoe shop in Rosenheim. His sons Joachim and Bernhard rebuilt after the war, founding the modern Gabor Shoes in Barmstedt in 1949, and the factory returned to Rosenheim in Bavaria in 1966, where the company is still based today.
Colours run from classic black and navy through to seasonal suede shades, in wedge, block and flat heels. It is the kind of shoe built for a full day on your feet, not just a photograph.
Come and get measured properly at the Shaftesbury boutique, or browse the current Gabor range online and filter by width.
