Founded in 1949, the Gabor company has grown to become Germany’s leading ladies’ footwear manufacturer. The Gabor company produces around 25,000 pairs of shoes each day – churning out fashionable footwear for women and men at a staggering rate. Gabor is still owned by the family that founded it – making the Gabor brand unique among its competition. Gabor’s collection includes more than just shoes – a range of handbags also is produced, as is a collection of belts and other small leather goods. Also, Gabor produce a limited line of shoes for children.
Popular women’s shoes from Gabor are divided into three categories – fashion, comfort and jollys. Each collection has a variety of heels, flats and sophisticated boots to meet the needs and style demands of even the fussiest fashionista. Leadiing offerings from the Fashion range include Gabor’s court shoes with an elastic strap at the instep, 50mm baroque heels and femininely creased leather uppers; pointed ankle boots with narrow heels in fashionable colours and effects; and their stunning retro-style patent leather high boots with lateral buckles and a smooth profile.
The women’s comfort range at Gabor includes soft calfskin ankle boots with a wide-profile heel; low-heel city boots with elasticated calves and subtle leather antiquing; and the almost sporty, trainer-style pumps in calfskin. The other women’s collection from Gabor, Jollys, includes asymmetrical slip-ons and relaxed-fit boots. Gabor’s offering for men is equally detailed, including a collection of ankle boots, Derby-style shoes and other interesting options.
Gabor shoes are available online from a number of different outlets – it’s important to be sure you’re buying from a UK merchant to avoid hassles and postal delays. Apart from that, discounts are plentiful and many merchants carrying Gabor shoes online offer free shipping for Gabor purchases, allowing you to maximise your online savings.
