Expert service and a good range of quality footwear leaning more towards business than leisure. A small range of belts, umbrellas and cufflinks are there too. I haven't bought new shoes here but have had a few leather-soled pairs of boots and shoes remade over the years and their work is excellent.

Rivers generally have good deals going, so it's usually one of my first choices when my husband…read moreneeds new clothes.

I've been in here a great deal over the last few years. The clothing isn't terribly over priced,…read moreit's generally pretty good, and the service has been alright. I must admit I prefer to go to their regional clearance centres, because they're a bit cheaper, they're larger and there's more stuff to look at. I've bought most of my shoes from Rivers, particularly this store. A pair of boots that lasted me nearly two years that have only just been retired. Total cost was about $60. That's ridiculously cheap. And I'm all about cheap and functional. I have noticed that there seems to be a lot more low quality stuff in the range now, but even so, a few pairs of their cheaply made and put together shoes have lasted me several months with no signs of letting up yet. The service here is pretty efficient. I haven't really had to wait long at all to be served or to get help.

Shin splints? Tight calves? Back pain? Ever wondered if you are wearing the right trainer for you?…read moreIf you haven't been to Active Feet or the likes, you're not and you'll probably never really know.... They great thing about these guys is that they test your running/walking style on the spot which means that can give and on the spot assessment and match you up with the perfect trainer for you! If you don't have a customer profile the best thing to do is to go in and have your feet assessed for free! Then let them do the rest. Its that easy, its a walk through!

Love. It sums up everything that I feel about Sole Devotion. This store is brilliant should you be…read morelooking for interesting, bold and gorgeous shoes. Sole Devotion features shoes from 3 international designers: Camper (Spain), Trippen (Germany) and John Fluevog (Canada). Each shoe is beautifully made with quality materials and they all sit along little ledges up the wall of the store. Whether they are black and white brogues or vibrant orange clogs Sole Devotion have you covered. Just check out the different shoes and then flag down a sales assistant to help you out. There's a long cushioned bench in the middle of the store where you can have a seat, and even though the store can get very busy at times all the sales assistants are brilliant. Not only are they friendly, but their speed and efficiency astonishes me when the store is bursting with eager shoppers. If crowds aren't your thing then maybe try and avoid the weekends; there are always people around but its less likely you'll be distracted from some great shoe shopping.

I like to think that Rubi Shoes was named after Dorothy's much vaunted slippers. If only because it…read morewould make the shoe corollary of Australian uber chain Cotton On a hell of a lot more whimsical. So it's not the most boutique little shop in town. So what! This particular outpost of Rubi Shoes - which I think is the label's flagship store - sells a massive array of womens flats, heels, sandals, boots and trainers alongside jewellery and accessories like hats, belts, bags and more. Prices hover at around the $20 - $30 mark for a pair of shoes, and although Rubi's footwear is largely synthetic it fills an important gap in the market for the kind of shoes you have to buy to wear to work but really, really don't want to spend any money on. I particularly like Rubi's hats and scarves, which can be surprisingly fashion forward and are unfailingly well priced without always being attendantly poorly made. A must visit for accessories addicts.

While there may no leather in sight, Rubi shoes makes a decent range of cut-price footwear. Sure…read morethere are more synthetics inside their flagship store than there should be, but so what, you get what you pay for here. The pleathers, canvases and PVCs may not have the cachet of designer shoe stores but they do the job alright. The shoes come in all colours of the rainbow and in a copious amount of styles and colours. You can choose between flats, heels, sandals, boots and sand shoes all below $40. While they may not last you long, they are so cheap and cheerful that you may not be able to resist. Rubi shoes is the epitome of fast fashion, perfect for a quick pick me up.

This is my favourite shoe store in Melbourne. It's where I know I will always find just the pair…read moreof shoes I'm after, and that it will be a pleasant experience finding them. Whether I can actually afford the pair of shoes that I want in here is a different story. Some of the lovelier ones are in the $300 region and up and it isn't often that I can splash that much cash on footwear (much as I'd love to). The quality and styles are gorgeous and that's what you'll get for your money so I'm absolutely not complaining about the price. And rather surprisingly, the peeps who work here are actually nice and helpful and won't make you feel bad about being there, unlike other upmarket retail stores. Great quality, great style. Love Zomp.

I want shoes that will last me years, classic models that will never go out of style. Instead all I seem to be able to find are clunky heels and cheap high street imitations. This is where Zomp differs. A boutique women's shoe store, it offers cutting edge, premium quality shoes as reasonable prices. The Flinders Lane store features an expansive and well designed space that is perfectly fit out to display the multitudes of fine shoes that are stocked. Whether you're looking for boots, heels or flats this is the place to go. Soft Italian leather, unique designs and extensive size ranges, Zomp is the ultimate shoe store.

The shop is well organised and there are an abundance of different shoes to try on. The layout makes it easy to try on shoes categorised by size, and is a real time saver. Let me explain: a real time saver in the sense that you are able to try on and purchase boots, flats and sandals in the same area without having to move around the store. This outlet does not disappoint. You know when you go shoe shopping; you find a pair of shoe/s that you like only to find out that your size is not available? Or if your size is available, the shoes are miraculously too small for you? That is so frustrating. You (in nearly all cases) will not experience this type of frustration at this outlet. I have noted this the last few times I have brought shoes here anyway. Or another frustration with shoe shopping: you like one or more of the styles and type of shoe on sale; yet it is never in your size - bugger! Once again this is rarely a problem at this outlet. The staff are friendly and fast on their feet. This is a great place to go to if A - you want to buy shoes real quick; and B - to buy shoes without the fuss in a no frills manner.
