The Gabor Transitional Footwear Edit
As September draws to a close and October begins to bring cooler, more consistent weather, there is a particular kind of dressing that comes into its own. The mornings feel crisper, the evenings arrive a little earlier, yet there are still those beautifully mild days when the sun makes an unexpected appearance. It is the moment between seasons when your wardrobe needs to do a little more.
For footwear, that means having the right balance of comfortable trainers, sophisticated flats and wearable silhouettes ready to carry you through the transitional period. Most importantly, transitional shoes need to be comfortable. Because when the weather changes, the last thing we want to think about is our feet. From office days to leisurely weekend walks in the late-season sunshine, the best shoes are the ones that adapt effortlessly.

The Iggy
There are some footwear silhouettes that never really go out of style, and the Mary Jane is certainly one of them. The new Gabor Iggy in black royal takes that timeless influence and makes it wearable for the transitional season. Crafted from patent leather, the Iggy has an instantly polished appearance. The glossy finish also makes the shoe practical for everyday wear, as its smooth surface can be easily wiped clean after those inevitable autumn spills and splashes.
The softly rounded rectangular toe adds to the modern silhouette, while the 2.5cm heel provides subtle elevation without compromising on walkability. A wider fit further contributes to the comfortable feel, while the TPU sole and leather lining support its suitability for days when you are constantly on the move.
The Iggy is the kind of shoe that fills a very useful gap in your wardrobe. Wear it with tailored trousers for the office, straight-leg denim for the weekend or a midi dress when you want something more sophisticated than a traditional trainer. It is particularly suited to those transitional days when your outfit needs to feel polished, but you still want the ease of a low heel and comfortable construction.
The Wisdom
Some styles earn their place in a collection season after season, and the Gabor Wisdom trainer is one of them. This season, it arrives in a beautiful olive suede and cobra colourway, bringing a fresh take to one of Gabor’s much-loved everyday trainers.
The sophisticated suede upper gives the Wisdom a soft, tactile appearance that feels particularly suited to autumn. The practical combination of laces and a side zip makes getting the trainers on and off simple, an especially useful feature for everyday footwear, where convenience matters just as much as appearance.
The 3.5cm sole provides comfortable everyday elevation, while the TR sole is designed for durable wear. Inside, the leather lining adds to the supportive and premium feel of the trainer, making it a dependable choice for long days on your feet. Try the Wisdom with blue denim, cream knitwear, beige tailoring or darker earthy tones for an effortlessly tonal look.
The Dahma
If there is one colour that deserves more attention in a transitional footwear collection, it is navy. The new Gabor Dahma in dark blue suede is the ideal purchase for an autumn wardrobe.
Combining sophisticated suede with leather detailing, the Dahma brings together two of the season's most versatile materials. The softness of suede contrasts beautifully with the structure of leather, creating a trainer that feels both relaxed and considered. The dark blue colourway has the depth of black but feels slightly softer, making it an excellent partner for both light and dark denim.
A traditional lace fastening keeps the silhouette classic, while the 4.5cm chunky heel gives the shoe a little more presence and height. The wider fit provides additional room for everyday comfort, while the microfibre lining contributes to the soft feel inside the shoe. The textured TR sole completes the design, bringing practical durability to a trainer that is as suited to everyday city dressing as it is to relaxed weekends.
