The countdown to your summer escape is officially on. The suitcase is open, holiday outfits are taking shape, and sandals are finally replacing most footwear. Whether you’re jetting off for a week in the sun or planning a long-awaited European getaway, the right shoes can make every part of the journey feel effortless.
From early airport departures to leisurely evening strolls, comfort and style should work hand in hand. That’s exactly where our latest Gabor favourites come in. Thoughtfully designed with wearability, craftsmanship and summer-ready style at their core, these are the shoes you’ll reach for at every stage of your holiday.
So rather than thinking about tired feet, you can focus on what really matters: exploring, unwinding and making the most of every sun-soaked moment.
The Travel Essential
Every great holiday begins long before you reach your destination. From airport terminals and security queues to service station coffee stops and boarding gates, travel days demand footwear that can keep up without compromising on style.
The Wisdom trainer is made for exactly that. Offering the perfect balance of practicality and contemporary design, it’s a style you’ll appreciate from departure lounge to homecoming flight. New-season shades inspired by soft sand tones bring a lightness to your wardrobe and pair effortlessly with everything from relaxed tailoring to casual holiday separates.
Soft suede uppers create a lighter feel on the foot, while the combination of lace and zip fastening allows for easy on-and-off wear when you’re constantly on the move. Underfoot, the Wisdom’s TR sole combines excellent grip with flexibility and lightweight comfort, helping you stay comfortable throughout long travel days. Selected styles are finished with subtle animal-print accents and metallic zip detailing, adding a stylish finishing touch that elevates this everyday essential.
The Market Day Explorer
When the itinerary calls for wandering through local markets, exploring charming town centres or heading straight from lunch to the beach, Everly is the sandal you’ll want by your side.
Designed to capture the relaxed spirit of summer, this easy-to-wear style allows your feet to breathe while offering support exactly where it’s needed. The soft suede upper feels smooth against the skin and, thanks to its naturally porous qualities, is particularly suited to warmer climates. It’s a sandal that packs beautifully, wears effortlessly and brings a touch of sunshine to every outfit. Inside, the nubuck leather lining gently moulds to the foot for a personalised feel with every step. The Everly’s TPR sole provides reassuring grip on a variety of surfaces, while the practical 3.5cm heel offers subtle lift without sacrificing comfort.
One of Everly’s standout features is its thoughtful fit. The rip-tape fastening is discreetly concealed beneath an elegant bead detail, creating a cleaner, more elevated look while allowing easy adjustability throughout the day. Combined with a small, elasticated gusset for added flexibility, the fit adapts effortlessly as temperatures rise.
The Sunset Dinner Sandal
Some holiday accessories naturally attract compliments, and Rich is certainly one of them. This elegant sandal blends everyday comfort with timeless summer styling. Crafted with nubuck leather uppers, it delivers the perfect balance between softness and support, offering a lighter feel while maintaining structure.
The beautifully knotted upper detail frames the foot effortlessly, while the adjustable ankle strap provides additional security and support. A layered wedge heel introduces subtle height and a distinctly summery aesthetic, enhanced further by the wooden-effect panel and contrasting cleated sole.
The traditional buckle fastening allows for a personalised fit, while the soft microfibre lining encourages comfort from morning sightseeing to evening dinners. Additionally the navy colourway is particularly versatile, complementing everything from crisp creams and neutral linens to your favourite denim co-ords. Finished with a wearable 2.5cm wedge heel, Rich pairs effortlessly with flowing midi dresses, linen separates and relaxed holiday tailoring.
The Golden Hour Glamour
Few sandals capture the essence of summer quite like Auckland.
Designed to bring a touch of glamour to everyday wear, its champagne metallic upper catches the sunlight beautifully, adding a subtle shimmer with every step. Accompanied by a statement wicker-inspired buckle detail conceals the rip-tape fastening beneath, combining practicality with polished styling.
Wide straps sit comfortably across the foot while showcasing an open-toe silhouette that feels fresh, flattering and endlessly wearable. Paired with sun-kissed skin and gold jewellery, Auckland effortlessly becomes the finishing touch to any holiday outfit.
The 4.5cm flatform sole adds height while maintaining stability, with its layered design creating a relaxed, resort-inspired feel. The lightweight PU sole keeps every step comfortable and easy, making it ideal for sightseeing, shopping and long summer days spent exploring.
From airport lounges to cobbled streets and sunset dinners, these Gabor favourites are designed to take you through every chapter of your summer adventure in style.
So, when a sun-filled holiday is calling, these Gabor shoes are ready to answer.
