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.

A great establishment in the DFO South Wharf shopping complex designed to give Paul's Warehouse in…read moreSydney and Rebel Sport a real good run for their money, and in my opinion this establishment is nailing it on the price and their friendly no frills service. It is easy to find what you need, and if your stuck or a bit tight for time; the staff help you out real quick. Great for those small white Saucony gym socks for those all important body attack classes and marathon running events. I was impressed to also buy a new pair of slick Asics running shoes for only $90 (instead of $150) which was fantastic and a blessing in disguise for losing my other running shoes at the gym, and this was a Tuesday afternoon after work (while I was still a suit): great service, and thankfully a new pair of shoes in time for body pump and body attack on the trot (addicted maniac I know) that same evening, as if nothing had ever happened. A great sports retailer I would recommend to others without any hesitation. You should be able to find what you need as the range is so diverse.

After reading the Yelp reviews for Bared Footwear promising nice shoes that were good for your feet…read moreand podiatrist recommended, I immediately made plans to get down there and check it out. I used to have orthotics and have a bit of a dodgy body so it piqued my interest. But mostly I thought their mens' shoes range could be the answer to my hospitality-worker husband's problematic feet and recent pain issues. He now has a really lovely looking pair of work shoes that won't kill his feet. Bonus for me, I found two really nice pairs of casual shoes for him that he equally loves. So while we didn't get them all there and then (shoes here cost between $200-$290 a pair) it looks like I will finally get to stop nagging him to stop wearing thongs out and get him into some decent weekend shoes soon! Wife win. The women's shoes range have flats, loafers and heels. Most have an ankle strap to hold you in and stop toe-clawing. I found them a bit bulky for what I'm used to, but they're super comfy and I think I'll probably end up with a pair of the loafer style that comes up higher on the foot and doesn't need the strap. Right now I'm holding out for their new season winter boots as I myself do a fair bit of running around on foot. The staff were really friendly and knowledgable. They assured us that if there were any problems with the shoes at all, we could bring them back and they can refit the insole to sort any issues. Apparently they get people bringing back shoes after years to readjust the sole - making the price tag not only worth the investment, but actually a pretty good bargain for what you're getting. The buckle actually broke on my husband's shoes on his first day of wear which we were pretty surprised by, but they fixed it immediately and gave him some free polish for the inconvenience. Definitely sold on these guys.

I've bought high heels from Bared and was stunned by its quality. Made of actual fabric (leather…read morelined) it doesn't give you a long-wear (which I would expect from $250 shoes) and had stitches poorly done. The customer service is what makes me say that I'll never shop with Bared again. Take a week to reply, instead of helping with a refund try to sell more and generally don't seem at all keen to help. The fact that they don't do refunds was also poorly advertised on their website, so I only found out about it when it was too late. Such a waste of my time and money!

Now that that SO:ME space is open, some new local designers have moved in and Rollie is one of them. Designed in Australia, Rollie makes super light and colourful shoes. Their shop owner also designs for Mollini, so you can find a range of their shoes here too. I can't say they're made locally though based on the 'Made in China' label on the sole of my new boots! The range is good and the shoes are good quality, making this a tempting stop-in when grocery shopping.

Upside: Nice shirts, some decent ties, ordinary suits…read more My difficulty is the service and range. Range. If you want a shirt in your size, with your preference of cuff then there is a very limited range. Service. Initial service when buying shorts was from a member of staff who had little knowledge of their product. Their assistance was limited to occasionally hovering and helping us pay for the shirt I chose. When I returned the shirt (due to it having a mark in the centre of the back) the first person I talked to wanted to help until they found it was a return, once they had verified that it was indeed a valid return they handed the shirt back to me and wandered off without another word. The second person I spoke with apparently didn't know how to help. I ended up finding a replacement myself, waiting in line for the store manager and then finally doing a switch. My initial view dealing with this company was to have a quick look when they get new shirts/ties in to see if there is something interesting. That being said, we as customers should be treated better. Avoid

This email is intended to alert your company about a 'quality' issue with the Spinnifex Caravan…read moreCovers you sell. Rather than just making a complaint I wish to inform you the Spinifex Caravan Covers are potentially ok but...the material used is not consistent and quickly falls apart 'in some places'. The Spinifex claim that top and front material is 3 layer is questionable! (I have tried to attached copies of photos taken of the cover I have on my Motorhome today which has, in total, been on the Motorhome about 9 months.    In addition, the zoomed photo was taken a couple of years ago when a 'previous' cover had the same failure....only on one panel.  I did make a claim then because the cover had not been used much at all and Anaconda replaced it...which I appreciated).  I in fact purchased a 'replacement' cover yesterday (3rd cover in less than 3 years)  from Anaconda Bayswater (22'-24')  for $199 which I will use soon. I am not making a claim...because I appreciate the covers are not expensive....they do the job....but they could be much better with a little more control on material quality but your Supplier. I hope this message is useful for your team.    If someone wishes to have a look at the cover on my motorhome feel free to do so. Kind regards. Lindsay Borgas. Mobile:  0418177428.

As a seasonal camper, we came to the Bayswater store when in need of a new tent for Meredith Music Festival, and found that they not only had a huge range, but with each tent set up on the display floor, you could actually try them on for size. The staff were great here too, helping us with any technical questions we had. Also stocking a huge range of camping equipment such as stoves, torches, fridges and anything else you'll need, this really is your one stop shop for camping.

This factory outlet in the same elk as DFO and Brand Smart is in the process of re-branding itself…read more Formally Brand Junction and now Uni Hill Factory Outlet, I hope the change in brand heralds a change in store selection and atmosphere. I first dropped by after it's opening and was disappointed by the range of retail outlets. In the stores I did venture into I found cast off stock of poor quality and good quality offers without an outlet price tag. I was clearly not the only one left disappointed. The mall was totally deserted. On a Saturday afternoon before Christmas you would expect the buzz of shoppers and bargain hunters. No. I witnessed crickets and tumbleweeds. I didn't give Brand Junction a second chance until today. I was lured in by the giant posters advertising a new look factory outlet experience. Clearly that experience is yet to happen. The experience I had was worse then my initial one. Now half the shops are closed (making way for new retailers I hope) and the atmosphere even less appealing. I will give Uni Hill Factory Outlet one more chance when the overhaul is delivered, but if it fails to deliver then I'm done forever more. Three strikes and your out Brand Junction.
