Customer Reviews Gabor Gabor 86.094

Gabor shoes are excellent - in style, comfort, support, and quality. Just be sure to order at least 1 size down from the recommendation. In this case, I Had to re-order twice. I went from my normal size 8 US to a size 7 (UK5), probably because of the more relaxed "mocassin" style. I'm glad I persisted because this shoe looks and feels great.

I really wish these shoes fit better. They seem about 1/4 size too long for my foot; just enough to make them slip and gap when I walk. Sadly, I sent them back.

These shoes are classy and stylish. Materials and workmanship are very high quality. Also, you cannot beat Zappos' selection and service. But the best part is that these are the most comfortable flats/loafers that I have worn, maybe ever. I love them. I normally wear 8½ US. These are 5½ UK and are perfect.

These shoes are very nice and very comfortable -- I have the same model in black. They are great for people with wider feet. However, the color is a little misleading for this model. It looks gold on the screen, but in reality the shoes are definitely pewter, i.e. a shade in between gold and silver and which has a cool undertone.

I bought Gabor 86.094 in black color and return it because I was not quite pleased with the style. I did not spent much time in these shoes, so I cannot say how they would feel in the long run, but for a limited period of time that I had them on they felt fine. When you walk in them you feel the air coming in through the perforation on top, which could be nice in summer days. They are light weight. They felt snug, but true to the size.

Normally wear size 8 US in a shoe, but this one fits much larger than the recommended US/UK guidelines. Started with size 8, then to 7.5, and am now ordering size 7. The shoe itself is great, as are the other Gabors that I own. Hopefully, the size 7 will fit perfectly. Sizing is the only reason I do not give this shoe a full 5 star rating.

Pricey but good construction and very nice material. The pictured does not do the material justice. It is a metallic suede and unlike anything I have seen before. I am a 10.5 with a wide toe box and regular width. The 10.5 B is too small in the toe box. Also, there seems to be almost negative arch support. The bed of the foot as you step down is hard and uncomfortable. I also tried the 11 B (and may keep it but will see if a wide is available first) and the bed of the foot improved in comfort but it seems that it may need to have an additional insole added, which shouldn't happen with a shoe at this price point. I tried both the Silver Caruso Metallic and the Taupe Nubuck Soft/Metallic. Both colors are very nice. I prefer the taupe as it coordinated better with the sole, but both would work for different reasons. I did note some variation in the shininess of the right vs. left shoe as the right is shinier. So there is a slight issue with quality control in that regard. Note: the price is likely due to the fact these are handmade in Portugal, which is a plus and the quality shows. The top of the shoe offers breathability because of the air holes. There is some visibility of the sock through the air holes but very little. I would say these are subtly stylish and unique for American markets. I pronate slightly and this is only slightly noticeable in this shoe, but it does not correct it.

Shoes are comfortable but run wide for my foot. I ware an 8 1/2 size shoe and ordered an 8 1/2 medium. I usually use a medium shoe but these are too loose and lack support to my ankles.

I have several pair of Gabors, but these were very large and kept slipping. They are beautiful, but I will return
