This is my 'go-to' shop for footwear. The staff are friendly and helpful ......and I can usually…read moreget something 'on trend' as well as wearable for a whole day. I like the shoes that hide the ugly bits of my feet....a thin strap of leather isn't my style..... But a wider band is perfect. I'd be embarrassed to tell you how many pairs I own, but thrilled to say ( with a rare exception) that 'feels like a slipper' is my mantra there. Flats, sandals, wedges, mules, boots, heels, espadrilles......too much fun really! Quite often they have in-store promotion "Buy 2 pairs, 50% off 2nd pair' which helps any girl's shoe addiction budget. The store also has a limited range of handbags, so you might be lucky to get everything sorted in one spot. See you there!

Fabulous looking shoes that are so comfortable and unique. I can absolutely assure you my shoe…read morefettish friends that you will not see yourself coming wearing a pair of Squire shoes. The shoes are colourful, leather or fur and made with tender loving care. No one has the range and the sizes that Squire has. It is fantastic to find a shoe shop that has a good selection for a small foot, especially sizes 39 and 40. (Which is 6 and 6 1/2). The shop itself is very comfortable and the sales assistant (owner) has a really lovely manner when talking shoes. Shoes are obviously his passion. We spent a good hour in this shop laughing and enjoying good conversation while I tried several pairs of shoes. Yes bought two pairs!

They also cater for those who work in the adult entertainment industry as they stock lingerie, clothes and accessories as well. I went in there to buy some pole shoes for my next end of term performance at Bobbi's Pole Studio and they are fantastic. I had to order them from the US and it took a couple of weeks to come through. The girls there are sweet and really helpful. I think they all work in the industry so are knowledgeable and can provide some great practical advice. So if you pole dance for fun, fitness or professionally, this is a great place to get your gear!

Shoe lovers, shoe lovers everywhere. Come join me for this…read morespecial fair It's a shoe addicts dream It's a boyfriend's bore As once you enter You'll just want more More, more! So many of us love shoes. Carrie Bradshaw opened up the 'permits for all' on the right to have endless numbers of shoes in a girl's wardrobe. Zomp is the kind of shoe shop where I want to try on at LEAST ten shoes minimum. There's cutesy baby doll, there's cowboy boots, there's wedge, stiletto, strappy and sneaker, there's funky street, star prints and leopard prints, floral and kitsch. You name it, there's a style in there for you. But it's not just the variety I love it's that most of the shoes feel like they've got character... just that little bit of edge that other shoe shops might only have with only one or two shoes. I bought a $200+ pair of Hudson boots from here recently. They are gorgeous and they were on sale which of course was a bonus. Within 1 month unfortunately the sole started to unpeel. I was wearing them incessantly but it was a bit of drag to have to go back to the shop for a fix. The Zomp girls were more than happy to organize a shoe repair on them however I did have to pay extra if I wanted a thicker sole put on them - which I did of course. It was a shame to loose the cute penny farthing imprint on the sole. But now I can stomp these Zomp boots for a very merry long time. The Zomp Footwear for kids next door is a shoe shop filled with gorgeous teeny tot shoes. It's worth a mention for parents as it's a great excuse when the kids need new shoes to pop next door for your own sweet toe treat. One Saturday I was walking past and there were kids selling cup cakes outside. Nice touch.

I think I have a chromosome missing. I just don't seem to get that excited about shoes. I'm not so…read morefunctional as to wear only Hush Puppies but I do prefer my shoes to not leave my feet in bleeding tatters. Having said this I did purchase a pair of 4 inch stilettos from Zomp recently - mostly to see if I could actually walk and not look like a man in drag but also because I'm having an early midlife crisis. Zomp has shoes for all. If you get around on Zebra print brogues, pink ballet pumps, nude wedges or Gladiator sandals - all are found here and more. Staff are available without being intrusive and there are good discounts thanks to the GFC. A one-stop clodhopper shop.

Soyo Shoes is a…read moregreat little store on Pitt Street in the city where you can grab a pair of flats for around $40, sandals for $30 and heels for a little more. Sure, there are some really bizarre styles, but there are plenty of basic options if your wardrobe's a little more conservative. The staff are super attentive and won't mind if you do so many laps around the shop that you wear down the heels of your yet-to-be-purchased shoes. With some pairs as low as $20, these make great gifts for yourself or a friend.

Palm Beach Shoes is like a candy store for me. See all the delicious pretty colours! It's one of…read morethose "permanent sale" stores that one can always wander in and find a serious bargain at. Balancing my proper use of the "one" pronoun by ending my sentence with a preposition? Yeah I roll like that... anyway back to shoe candy... Palm Beach gets packed with bargain hunters from the Paddington Markets across the road on Saturdays, as do all the shops on this strip, so it can be a little hard to find a spot to try on whatever delight you've picked up, but if Saturday is the only day you can get here it is still well worth a look in, even just to marvel at how they fit so many shoes into a pretty tiny shop- the window display says it all.

I don't know how they've managed it but they've got pretty much one of every shoe that's in fashion right now. Sandals, pumps, wedges, heels, boots in every size colour and shape. My friends and I literally went mad. And what's more...not many of them were over $100. Absolute bargain. My only criticism would be that the shop is absolutely tiny! We found it a bit of a scrum, and I tripped over people far more times than is socially acceptable!

Relatively new on the factory outlet scene, FSW Shoe Warehouse definitely satisfies a niche in…read moreAlexandria. There aren't many other factory outlets selling shoes that a) stock more than one brand, b) are well organised and look like a regular shop and c) are positively huge with a big range. FSW ticks all three boxes and are predictably cheaper than department stores. Admittedly the styles aren't all in season, but to be honest, the range of shoes is so large that is doesn't matter which season it is, they will have something that suits. There are both mens' and womens' and kids' shoes, not alienating any particular group, but focus is no on sports shoes, in case you are after a sneaker. So if you need shoes for work, casual shoes or something for a special occasion, try here. FSW has brands like Hush Puppy, Sandler, Birkenstock, Windsor Smith, Florsheim, Merrell, Diana Ferrari and many, many more. My favourite part of the shop check out what bargains can be found at the back of the warehouse, where the clearance shelves are. It is still fairly well organised and not a messy mountain of shoes like in other places. I love how they are grouped by sizes, so I can go and browse everything on sale in a size 10-11 and maybe find something I wouldn't ordinarily look twice at. (Ladies if you have big feet, it's worth a look!).

See ya." Then they died leaving me facing the possibility of going to work next week with a shoe with half a sole on it. Wasted the day going to various malls where the shoe selection and pricing was abysmal. Come to the rescue Yelp which led me to FSW. Entered a hangar full of shoes with just less than half being dedicated to men. I'm after a thick soled boat lug shoe like timberlands classic 3 eye. They don't have anything like it but I'm able to find something low cost that will do until I find what I need long term. Thanks to FSW I know I'll have dry feet if it rains next week.

They sell all kinds of shoes, but primarily heels and boots. You'll find the odd pair of sandals, or wedges, but heels are where Aldo excels. So head in if you're looking for shoes to go with your new dress, and feel like having a bit of a splurge!
