All online purchases take place in a safe environment using the latest security technology to protect our customers.

Sensitive information such as your credit card details, name and contact details are encrypted to ensure your orders remain private and protected over the Internet. We accept orders only from web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This means you will only be able to place an order through a secure connection and information passed between your computer and our website cannot be read in the event that someone else intercepts it.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We will only use the information that we collect about you lawfully (in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998).

Please note that a £6.00 delivery charge will be applicable if a change of delivery address is required once an item has been despatched.

Do you deliver outside of the UK?

We do not currently offer shipping outside of the United Kingdom however we are hoping to offer this service during the course of 2012, but we do not have a timescale for this at this time.

We can ship to a BFPO address however an order would need to be placed via the telephone by calling us on 01749 686868, Monday to Friday between 09.00 and 17.30 (excluding Bank Holidays).

As we only despatch orders within the United Kingdom the order is treated as a UK order and therefore we are unable to waive or refund the VAT.

All BFPO addresses must be registered as UK, rather than the country you are posted in. Royal Mail will then deliver the order to the British Forces Post Office in London where it becomes the responsibility of the British Forces to deliver your order to the correct location.

What happens when I place an order?

When you place an order request on our website we will email you an acknowledgement which will confirm all relevant details. This acknowledgement is not acceptance of your order, which is at the point of despatch.

We may need to refuse an order, which may result from one of the following reasons:

  • The product ordered being unavailable from stock
  • We cannot obtain payment authorisation from your card issuer
  • Errors within the product information including price or promotion

If there are any problems with your order we will contact you. While we will look to resolve any difficulties quickly and look to reach a mutually acceptable solution, we need to state that the contract is governed by the laws of England and any dispute between us will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England. Your statutory rights are not affected.

While we take all reasonable care, in so far as in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure. However, in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the website.

When is payment taken?

When an order is placed the funds for the order are reserved with your card issuer. The funds are not physically debited until the order is despatched.

Payment can be declined by your card issuer at this time, we will advise you if this occurs via email to the address stated on your order.

Can I add edit my order?

Once you have placed an order and you receive a confirmation email we are unable to add, remove or amend an item from the order.

What the problem is

What is Gabor 'Best Fitting' technology?

This slight alteration has optimum effect. The insole of Gabor's 'best fitting' styles has been made 4mm wider than our standard across the joint area. This allows for greater comfort for today's modern feet. The overall forepart upper dimensions are kept the same with a 4mm reduction in overall girth.

Give them a try and feel the difference.
