I bought my shoes online for a great price but wasn't happy with the fit when they arrived…read more Gorgeous quality shoes but not suited to my feet as I thought. Contacted them and they sent me a return label which i printed up. Just had to pop the shoes back in the bag and send them back. They processed a refund promptly when the shoes arrived. I wish many other online stores would be as pleasureable and easy to deal with as Mountfords. I will be back but my try my luck trying some on in store in future. That way I know I am going to get the right fit.

I have bought many a fine pair of shoes here and have always been satisfied with the service and…read morethe quality of the product. I generally try and get here once every couple of months and check out the store - they seem to stock a decent range of shoes for different occasions and I particularly love shopping for sandals. A couple of years ago I bought a pair of sandals here for around $60. I have worn them every summer for the past few years and have taken them on several trips. They are worn but still gorgeous, faded but still functional, tired but still comfy. They are one of my favourite pairs that I have ever had. I got them from here. Needless to say I have nothing bad to say about this store. Traffic Footwear is a great place to buy a pair of shoes and if you are a lucky enough to get a pair of sandals, rest assured that the quality will most likely be superb.

As a human being that lives in Melbourne, it is basically IMPERATIVE that I own a pair of…read moreBirkenstocks. My partner is apparently not a real human as he did not own a pair... until yesterday. We were strutting down Glenferrie road (because just how damn cool is that road at the moment?) and discovered Yodgee. A delightful shop full to the brim with *sensible* shoes. That's right, there was not a peep-toe heel or platform wedge in sight. So what was there? Stylish, comfortable and built-to-last shoes by some of the best, including the ever-important Birkenstocks, and the ever-cool Doc Martens. They are stocked for both men and women and have pretty much every style of Birkenstocks that actually exist (as far as I know), but even better, THEY HAVE ALL SIZES. I've been to far too many Birkenstock outlets to find that they only have crazy sizes left. The very efficient sales person at Yodgee quickly fitted my partner with the style and colour he was after and we were in and out in under 10 minutes. Easy peasy.

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!

There is nothing I like better than knowing what product you are looking for and getting it for a…read morebargain. If you are looking for Converse products such as sneakers, clothing, tracksuits and windcheaters, then this is the place to go. Authentic Factory Outlets is located furthest from the city end of Smith Street amongst all the factory outlets offering products with labels at cheaper prices than you find in regular stores. I managed to get a pair of Converse One Stars and even got some free Converse socks to sweeten the deal. It's not only Converse in this Authentic Factory Outlet, you can also get a number of other cheap shoes and other street wear at discounted products such as Tommy Hilfiger. This part of Smith Street is great for the bargain hunter and this Authentic Factory Outlets is a must.

Ever since I was a student (years back) I've always been a fan of Zomp. I couldn't really afford to…read moreshop here before but that is why I love them so much now. Years later, as a working adult who still loves her shoes, Zomp is my first place of conquest. Carrying a broad range of sexy footwear from the world's style capitals - London, Paris, Italy, New York and Los Angeles, you'll love the huge range of quality boots, slip-ons, wedges, mary janes and sexy high heels. If you've been walking around with tired feet that just don't seem to like your old shoes very much and you're in the market for a new pair - check out Zomp. I love that it has a wide variety of flats and low heals, with wider fronts for broad feet while carrying a massive collection of stilettos and 6-inchers, for those glamorous nights out. It's great for those who are looking for gorgeous shoes that won't bite you! Think super soft leather, supportive and comfortable everyday styles that you'll love to wear.

I was recommended here by a sports doctor, he (the doctor) wrote down my injury and symptoms on an…read moreActive Feet Referral sheet and told me to give it to them when I went in. When I came to the store a young man who was a podiatrist served me. I brought in my old shoes and he had a look at them, then he got me to do a gait analysis walking barefoot on the treadmill. The gait analysis is when u walk/jog on their treadmill and there is a camera at the back that feeds live footage to a screen in front of you- so you can see how your feet are hitting the ground. After this he went and got me a few pairs of runners he though would suit my foot best- we then did the gait analysis again of me jogging in the shoes. He told me which ones were best and I got them. Was very happy with this place, the staff were helpful and polite. They had a good variety of shoes and they seemed to really know what they were talking about. Will definitely go back to an Active Feet when I need new runners again.
