Every time I walk past Mischief shoes on Broadway in Newmarket it kills me. The shoes in the window…read moreare literally so beautiful it hurts. Though I've never actually bought anything from the store, I've tried on numerous pairs of shoes there over the years, and have always been really impressed by the quality of the shoes as well as the wide selection. The staff at Mischief are really helpful, and don't mind you trying on half the store (something I've done quite a few times!), as they too are shoe lovers and understand how important it is to find not only the perfect fit but also the perfect style for you. Stocking popular, fashionable and quality brands like Nude, Soles, Clarks, Chaos and Harmony and Paolo Vandini, Mischief caters to both men and women aged about 16 years onward. A little pricey is ol Mischief, but this an example of the whole 'what you get is what you pay for' scenario. Every pair of shoes in this store is made from excellent quality materials and is on trend with the latest European fashions. If you're in Newmarket and feel the need to treat yourself, take a peek in Mischief - it's well named - you never know what you'll be leaving the store with!

Really beautiful quality shoes! Every pair seems to be made of supreme quality and is just dazzling…read moreto look at. If I had a never ending budget I would be able to buy almost every pair. When i last wondered in here, my nephew (4) was really taken with some of the shoes! He would pick out the fanciest, shiniest, most sparkly high heel and bring it over to me and ask if I'd like to try it on. I was starting to worry about his love of shoes but thought he could obviously just appreciate quality as much as I can. I noticed down the back there are a few shoes on sale. This is a pretty important thing for me because most of the prices are well above my price range and so sale items are unfortunately my only option.

There's this bright pink sign catching your attention on Cascades Road, which immediately signals…read morethis is no mechanic shop along a busy industrial district. What a Girl Wants is a second hand store, but packed with top quality bits and pieces. There are bags, clothes, shoes, books, furniture and ornaments, all geared towards the classy women of East Auckland. I thoroughly enjoyed having a browse, and picked up a nice singlet for a whopping $2! It's next to a coffee place and also an antique store, so your vintage tastes can be quenched, along with a nice spot of coffee afterwards. You can just park on the gravel outside, which is really handy. The shop assistant was friendly enough, and the way things are set out is really eye catching. It's awesome to see some creative thought going into the layout of a thrift store, considering most of the time, you have to rummage to find anything particularly useful. Here, it's all on display, in order of size and product. Good stuff.

What a Girl Wants would be a solid four star shop if it weren't for the staff…read more The two times I've been in I've wanted to stay longer, they have some amazing bargains and a very well organised shop, and overall the quality of their stock is excellent. The problem is, the two ladies who work there were very, very loudly talking politics both times I went in. As there's a dance school directly above them, it's fair enough that they need to raise their voices a little to be heard. But maybe don't stand on opposite sides of the shop? Or don't go on loudly about how much you dislike beneficiary bludgers who just sit around all day doing nothing. I mean, you're running a second hand shop, people...perhaps put two and two together and come up with four?

I absolutely adore Kathryn Wilson shoes. I remember buying my first pair about 8years ago from…read moreAngel Divine in Queenstown. They were heels in a bright checkered material with a peep toe. In fact, I still have them in my wardrobe somewhere. Since then I have bought numerous pairs of her shoes and I have always found them to be well made and comfortable without compromising on style. If they are good enough for Bey and Blue, they are good enough for me! Seriously though, Kathryn used to come into the restaurant I worked at and I served her several times and always found her to be incredibly lovely. Of course, I am ecstatic that she has now opened a store in Britomart and wish her every success! p.s. you should check out this season's loafers - they are beautiful!

Shoes on Picton is a great place to drop into if you're looking for unusual shoes that you won't…read moresee everywhere else. I especially love the sales, which give really impressive discounts, but as it's mid-range in price and not often leather, you won't break the bank if you buy at full price. This is also a good place to shop for flats, which can be hard come by. Two recent favourites have been shiny ballet flats with a collage of colour photos print all over, and a cute pair of peep-toes made of Mexican-style colourful woven cloth, with contrast black and white striped satin bows. Heart. Seriously. As a bonus, everything I've bought from there so far has worn really well, so it seems all to be good quality, plus the sales assistant is great at giving you tips about shoe fit and care.

I was actually quite reluctant to write a review of this little store in Onehunga as I feel like…read moreit's my best kept secret! I don't know how they do it (or why, actually, come to that matter) but this store sells shoes from brands such as Vans, Converse, Nike and Adidas at way, way cheaper prices than I've seen anywhere else in the city. We're talking around $80 for a really good pair of ladies Adidas running shoes (elsewhere, these tend to be over $100, often much more) and a huge range of colours of classic Vans plimsolls for around the same price. It's by no means a cool shop and I definitely wouldn't recommend coming here if you're looking for good quality leather shoes or anything cutting-edge fashiony but if you're looking for cheap runners or street shoes at much cheaper than the stores in the city centre, this is your place...just don't tell anyone else!

The first time I went to this store, I was convinced I wouldn't go back. I thought to myself that I…read morecouldn't imagine making the trip out to Onehunga just to get cheap Keds, Havianas and Vans, but I was wrong. I've been back a number of times purely because of the price and I haven't regretted it once. It's the kind of place I head when I realise my Keds are letting water in and I need shoes fast, or when I'm struggling to find a present for a hopeless male friend who never seems to be able to look after footwear... his shoes be talking, a lot! There's a pretty massive range of shoes at this place (hence the name?) and they're all ridiculously cheap. While you won't find all the big brands here, there are enough good brands to choose from.

Cheap shoes. Cheap dresses. Cheap appliances. Maybe it's…read morebecause we don't have K Mart back home, but I get excited to go here when I'm back in NZ. This is my go to spot when I need some quick supplies visiting my in laws. Forgot my jandals? No problem. $7 at KMart. Need some new swimmies? Cheap ones here that aren't ridiculous. Need new summery dresses for cheap? Yep. Golden. And then grab a cheap kapiti on the way out the door and your life is made.

I absolutely love Kmart for extremely obvious reasons. Not only do they have great bargains here,…read morebut they have almost anything you could want (although let's not get technical) and they are open until midnight- just three reasons there, but isn't that enough? The Botany Downs Kmart is my favourite. It's massive and I love exploring this place (although I do come here at least once a fortnight). The staff are great here, I'm always greeted when I arrive and when I leave and they're always nearby if i need to ask of something. Kmart is great for buying clothes to lounge around the house in at a cheap price and the occasional baking utensil (I just can't resist sometimes). My last visit had me going home with some new lounge trackies for $15 and 6 pairs of socks for $6- a really good bargain if you ask me. This Kmart also has the self-checkout service with handy hanger bins, and I definitely prefer to buy my items this way when I've only got a couple of items. Working in retail, I've seen Kmart sell similar styles they have in malls for a fraction of the cost and usually Kmart has better quality. Just goes to show that it's not always about brands and quality doesn't always have to mean a high price.

I particularly liked the wedges in the shop window, comfortable looking shoes from Turkey…read more All of their shoes originate from Turkey actually and the range is quite beautiful, from casual beach wear to high street fashion and everything in between. Clearance prices when I popped in for a browse to mark the end of summer stock which made the somewhat high price tags slightly more affordable at 40 percent and 50 percent off retail. I liked their winter styles as well, most attractive and definitely Muya can hold its own as a high fashion shoe store in the heart of trendy, unforgivably showcase stylish Newmarket. Oh I need to mention they have a range of men's shoes, which I must admit I walked straight past so focused was I on what was in it for me!
