Gabor plus size ladies shoes at Horsch
High quality, good fit and an elegant fashionable design - that's what the traditional brand Gabor stands for, also for plus size shoes! The company was founded in 1949 and today employs more than 3000 people all over Europe. From the beginning, the founders Bernhard and Joachim Gabor worked on the continuous improvement of their production processes. By using modern machines and production methods, the family business succeeded in perfecting the serial production and processing of their shoes. In doing so, the shoe manufacturer changed an entire industry environment; even shoe experts from other countries came to learn about the young company's manufacturing methods.
Over the course of the company's 60-year history, Gabor has often had to adapt to changing market environments, respond to new trends, and internally, too, the leadership of the family business has been passed on to the next generation. Despite changing conditions and new developments, the company has never lost sight of its main focus: fashionable design, ideal fit and perfect quality!
Perfectly shod through the seasons
These are exactly the qualities that many of our customers appreciate about Gabor brand shoes in oversize. The Horsch online shop offers a wide selection of women's shoes from the label in large sizes for the whole year. In the colder months, boots and ankle boots keep feet warm and dry. Sneakers are all-rounders, while pumps and ballerinas are more likely to be worn in the warmer months. Sandals and mules are the clear favourites for summer.
Fashionable design - timeless style
Inspiration, knowledge of current and future fashion trends, experience, and a lot of time - all this goes into the designs of every Gabor women's shoe - even in plus sizes. Shoe designers have almost unlimited possibilities when designing shoes. Starting with the type of shoe - should it be a boot or a ballerina - to the question with or without a heel, if so, how high and thick should it be - and material selection, colouring, feel... countless decisions have to be made before a finished shoe is on the sales shelf.
Regardless of whether a shoe is deliberately kept simple or is a statement piece, a shoe must first and foremost make a coherent and appealing overall impression. In combination with an outfit, shoes can either unobtrusively complement our garments or make an outfit complete in the first place!
Depending on your taste and style, the traditional company offers you timelessly elegant shoes in oversizes that complete every outfit. There are deliberately reserved, plain-coloured ballerinas and flats, as well as shimmering high heels or lace-ups with metallic effects and snake prints. Nevertheless, Gabor plus size women's shoes always look elegant and stylish.
Perfect fit and high wearing comfort
Regardless of the appearance of a shoe, the good fit of a shoe is fundamental for wearing comfort. Depending on how many steps we take every day, an ill-fitting shoe can pinch, cause blisters or, in the worst case, cause permanent damage. Therefore, a good fit is essential.
While it goes without saying that shoes come in different sizes, other variables, such as a wide or narrow foot shape, don't always get the attention they deserve. However, everyone's foot is different! That's why the shoe manufacturer has put a special focus on its shoe fits. For example, Gabor offers models in three different widths. Shoes in the "Comfort width" are suitable for all those who need a little more space at the ball of the foot and toes. For ladies with large feet it is often a challenge to find elegant and feminine women's shoes in the right size. Gabor, however, offers a wide selection of boots, pumps, sneakers, ballerinas and even bridal shoes in plus sizes.
To further enhance comfort, the company uses a wide variety of components in its soles, such as latex soles, air chambers or footbeds that can be replaced. In addition to laces, depending on the model, there are also elastics or straps on the shoes to provide additional adjustment options.
In order not to be dependent on external know-how or suppliers, Gabor has its own department that only takes care of fit and last development. Here, the company collects its own data and maintains a database regarding its numerous foot measurements, including data on special sizes. These measurements then help in the development of new lasts, which, to put it simply, are three-dimensional models of feet. Because: only if a last is based on realistic foot shapes can the shoes fit perfectly later on.
Gabor quality
In addition to fit and wearing comfort, materials and workmanship are other important quality features. The majority of Gabor's shoes are made of leather, with only high-quality leather being used. According to its own information, the company uses around 65 types of leather in different colours, resulting in around 300 variations that are processed. Leather is a natural product and its appearance and quality can therefore vary. To ensure high quality, the shoe manufacturer buys the leather directly on site in Italian tanneries. This is the only way to check criteria such as softness, feel, thickness and colour.
