The Clinkard Group opened their first shoe shop in Middlesbrough in 1942. From small beginnings The Clinkard Group has now grown to be the leading independent footwear retailer in the North East of England. The company sells premium branded merchandise - in particular footwear from Gabor - a highly respected German footwear manufacturer. Clinkard offers an extensive range of Gabor wide fitting sandals plus wide fitting boots. Gabor is among the few manufacturers offering tight high boots. Sexy boots that cling to your calf no matter how slim you are.
Unique features of Gabor’s footwear range include the following:
- Soft comfortable unlined shoes
Unlined shoes have no separate inner lining. This makes the shoe match your feet like a second skin. Ideal to wear barefoot!
- Articulated sole
A special sole makes the shoe follow perfectly the natural rolling motion of the foot, making it feel like walking bare-foot.
- Vario Width
Vario Width is the name of a flexible individual shank-width system for high-boots. The boots adjust to different leg shapes or wearing occasions.
- Integrated footbed
Integrated footbeds adapt to the individual anatomy of the foot. This results in a marvellous feeling when wearing the shoes, boots or sandals and extra support.
- Stretch
Stretch boots are particularly elastic and therefore do not require zippers. Gabor uses the best Polyurethane based materials in their stretch boots.
- Larger sizes available
Gabor offers certain models in larger sizes (i.e. sizes 8 ½ zo 9 ½ or 43 to 44).
- Wide leg / Extra-wide leg / Extra-wide leg XXL
No woman is like any other. Each leg is shaped differently. Wide shank high-boots provide extra room for the athletic calf. Many Gabor wide high-boots come with additional features for a perfect fit: Elastic bands, stretch material or adjustable flaps guarantee maximum comfort.
- Gabor Tex
Gabor Tex is a waterproof and windproof membrane. Shoes equipped with Gabor Tex offer extra protection from the cold and damp.
- Wide fitting sandals and shoes
Gabor offers shoes in widths G (slight extra width) and H (comfortable extra width). This means that these shoes have extra volume in the ball and instep areas and provide any foot with the room it needs. Their research and development into wide fitting sandals is impressive thus achieving the solid range they have currently on offer.
