We've been saying for the past couple of weeks that it's time to get sorted when it comes to your Autumn/Winter 2011 footwear as we need to prepare for all eventualities in case of extreme weather like last year. Gabor footwear are just one of the brands that are ensuring you're ready for all occasions and all weathers with such a fantastic range of styles in their Autumn/Winter collection.

OK, so they may not have winter snow boots as such, but they have got such a fantastic range of styles ideal for work, casual and dress wear and for a broad range of ages. They've got everything from their classic Gabor ladies slip-on shoe styles to intricately designed ankle boots; giving you numerous styles and a staple item of footwear for your wardrobe. So, let's take a look at some of these styles:

Ladies Ballerina Pumps: A style that is a safe bet for any casual occasion. OK, so it might not be ideal for snow and the really cold spells but if you know you're going to be indoors then the ballerina pump is ideal. Gabor offer a wide variety of styles, with the essential bow and embellishment detail for Autumn/Winter.

Classic Court/Mary Jane Shoes: Another style that isn't ideal for really cold weather, but is an ideal item of footwear for work/dress occasions and for the indoors! With both suede and patent uppers featuring in their collection they offer the classic court shoe but with a bit of a twist. Equally, their double strap Mary Jane styled shoes are another classic for your winter wardrobe.

Brogue Style 'Mannish' Shoes: We know that the more masculine shoes are a must-have for the winter months, being the ideal casual or dress shoe for many occasions. Gabor have incorporated the brogue detail into several different styles as well, giving a quirky array of boots and shoes. They have the classic patent brogue in both shoe and boot styles or a more distinguished mixed grey and black suede upper brogue with a small heel.

Ankle Boots With Studs & Detail: It's all about the detail this winter, and Gabor have ensured their ankle boots are embellished with fantastic designs. Metal studs edge their boots to perfection and plastic embellishments are wrapped around in straps giving a detail that sets your boots apart from the standard ankle boot. Teamed with heels these ankle boots are given a dressier edge too.

Slip-on Patent Loafer Styles: Another style here that is ideal for those casual/work occasions. The Gabor ladies slip-on shoes are so much more than a loafer with their distinguished croco patent uppers giving them a distinguished, stylish look for this winter. With buckle details on their Clico style, or a plainer version in the Alice style, they are a fabulous casual shoe.
