Don't tell anyone! The prices are cheaper than retail, the shoes are pretty well standard fare and…read morethe service is personal and easy going without being slack. They make a lot of these shoes in the factory here, but not all of them, some you'd call imports! It has really good off street parking and it's barely five minutes out of the city centre, so it is a very good spot to do some shoe shopping women! Okay, tell your best friend and your poorest friend but only them; it would be horrible to think they are suffering from scrunched up feet or wet feet from holey shoes. But if you go telling everyone they may sell out! Actually there's a lot of stock, and it is a good variety - the only thing that says this is a shoe warehouse direct to public style of store is the blandness of the interior, but really, who needs plush carpets and snazzy lighting to wiggle their toes? Actually if you tell more than your poorest and best friend, you may bring in some more customers and then between you if you all go together you could end up buying three purchases. If you buy three things and each are worth $50.00 or more you are entitled to a "Loyalty Discount Qualification" (!) which is a 10% discount off of all purchases for twelve months... Not bad eh! Maybe you should tell everyone. Who doesn't love a discount voucher - in a shoe shop even?!

First of all, the only reason I know about this place is because of my wife. She really likes shoes…read moreso this one time that I actually went there I left with I think around 6 pairs of (her) shoes in my car. If you weren't looking for it, you would probably not notice it was there. There is literally no indication that there is a shoe shop on that street unless you happen to catch a glimpse of the big red sign (and read what it says) as you drive past. If you do happen to notice the sign, when you turn in all you will see is a parking area with a door towards the end on the right hand sign. Very unassuming, but for the female shoe shopper looking for a bargain, definitely a treat. As a factory outlet store, the shoes they sell there are cheaper than what you'd normally find in Myer or David Jones. Also, they don't sell cheap shoes either and are they actually stock good quality shoes with actual brand names like diane ferari (I can't believe I know this stuff). From boots, to casual shoes to heels, it's a plain looking shop on the inside, but what it makes up for in lack of flash is in its wide selection of shoes for the shoe hungry female shopper.

I am a returning customer and we are substantial business owners of over 45 years. My husband and I…read morehave purchased 5 pairs of shoes from this store on our last trip to Adelaid. The staff, Melony in particular was outstanding in her customer service, however the owner was rude and passed offensive remarks suggesting to check that our money may be counterfeit only to realise that he was in the wrong. He probably passed this comment because we are people of colour. The only reason why we continued our transaction was because of the lovely Melony who spent a lot of time helping us and we didn't want all of her time and effort to go to waste. If a person wants to be in business, he should learn to treat his customers with respect and if he thought there was an issue he could have done so discretely and not embarrass his customers infront of others.

I will go as far to say my Mum took me for my first pair of shoes here back in 1986, ask her yourself. The cost can be a bit pricey but in a place like this you're paying for knowledge and a brand you know is going to last.

It was the best price I could find at the time and having worked down the road it was a eureka moment when I found it was there in store. Ideal Shoe Repair performs a great service to the local residents, workers and passers by as they cut keys and repair leather goods and the prices are reasonable. Besides selling hand bags they also sell lugguage and accesories like belts, shoe laces, shoe inserts and scraves plus jewellery and umbrellas. Being a dealer in leather they also sell leather protection such as polish, sprays and sealants for leather and suede, even motor bike accesories. Service is fast and friendly and keys are cut on the spot unless there's a few to do and depending on their work load, but overall a great long standing shop which has recently seen a facelift.

Mackenzie Shoes is one of the better shoe shops in the shoe-mad Burnside Village. It has an amusing…read morerange of shoes at two extremes - extremely practical, and extremely impractical. There are a few styles that fall in the middle, but most are at the polar ends. They have a great range of Ecco and Rockport shoes, which are very sturdy (and very plain) shoes designed for rougher walking - think ye olde velcro strapped sandals. On the other side is a range of glitzy heels and gorgeous patterned cloth wedges. They're all quite unique styles, so if you're looking for something different this is a great place to shop. They have the cutest pair of black flats with a little fur puff on the toe, like a black bunny tail. These really tickled me (literally!), but they only had tiny sizes left. The prices are among the standard Burnside Range - pricey, but not crazy. Next time I need some walking shoes, I think I'll pop back in.

Florsheim is an American shoe brand, originating from Chicago. Originally it was a men's shoes…read morestore but in the last 10 years it has branched out to women's as well. They are a highly regarded brand when it comes to comfort and quality - but I wouldn't necessarily call them the nicest shoes I've ever seen. I would probably recommend them to men, as their shoes looked pretty nice, and looked very comfortable. The store down Unley Road is a factory outlet, and therefore they have a lot of their stock on special for around half price, generally the older stock. So if you're looking for a pair of good quality shoes and don't want to pay full price, then come and have a look see whilst you're shopping down Unley Road.

I didn't walk into your store to get no love. I must admit - a new pair of shoes can help you to look better, but it doesn't give you to power to be a snob. Today, I was treated as a non-existent nobody. It's 'cos I'm male, ain't it, and everyone else inside is a female? I was ready to have fun shopping around with you, but you just give me nothing. Dear shop assistant, you don't know this, but I do have a bit of shopping to do myself. What a complete waste of my time! lol To sum up - I don't have much else to say for the non-existent service that Wittner provided to me. You got great-looking shoes.

The next best thing for me and lowering my sights ever so slightly and its Va Bene shoes on King William Road at Hyde Park. My local and often visited coffee shop is on the opposite corner and has a view of the Va Bene side window. This can be pretty dangerous for a shoe fiend as sipping a latte can often lead to going home with a new pair of shoes. Not so good when the cupboard is already full to brimming with hardly worn pairs. What can I say other than they simply have a great collection of shoes that tempt me time after time. If they don't have your size, they will do their best to get the right size in for you as they did for me recently when a brand new pair came from the distributor. The staff are very helpful and there's always a bargain or two to be had as they regularly markdown their full price stock. Their product is top quality as demonstrated by a pair of black boots purchased two years ago that will stump up for another season again next winter. Sorry fellas but this is a ladies shoe shop, which prompts one to ask - what is it with girls and shoes? Obviously a rhetorical question because even though I'm a girl and a shoe freak I don't know the answer to that one. Seriously, does anyone? Carrie Bradshaw and Imelda Marcos take note.

An Australian institution, as well as an honest to goodness legend this guy started off as a…read moreswag-man, which is more or less old school Australian for a person of no fixed address, and he ended up owning and running a multimillion dollar clothing empire. He comes from the North of Adelaide, a strange and isolated little place called Jamestown where the people were once so afraid of progress they would run you out of town if you were anything but one hundred percent dinkum normal Australian white bread all the way; and who knows if this is why R.M. hit the lonesome trail and skedaddled out of there? He ended up in Adelaide, the capital city of this fair state to get himself an education. Flash forward a few years and he was sure he could do something with his life to help cattle men and horse riders have a nice day, so he went into the production of boots. Leather boots. He did very well with that, and soon moved on to clothing that could survive the outback and the hard life of a drover - and still make a fellows arse look good. The thing about R.M. Williams' clothing is this: it tends to make a bloke look pretty darn sexy. Sexier than a cow or a horse, especially to the women folk. This proved to be good for the economy. It helped R.M. make his first million dollars and become one of the quintessential Australian brands. Over the years they have had great moments in business in Australia, expanding bit by bit. The best secret about R.M. Williams' products for Adelaide folk is the outlet store. The city based store at what was once called 'The Gallery' when shopping malls were all the new rage, is a fine store and they treat you very nice in there; but if you are not so rich as the folk who buy all their clothing there, make your way over to the 'outlet' stores there's one at: R.M.Williams Outlet Store 5 Percy Street, Prospect (08) 8344 8191 as well as the R.M.Williams Factory Shop, 121 Frost Road, Salisbury (08) 8259 1090 (08) 8259 1090 just for the record. Everything to make your potato pie of a fellow look like a dashing hunk of John Wayne for a high end fashion price. But you only have to kit him out once with one outfit to make him look like this, and he will forever be branded on your mind as an outback hero, drop dead gorgeous with the cutest arse you ever did see. Shirts, hats, boots, belts, pants... everything to wrap him up with, and then rip off of him because it makes him so magnetically handsome. Talk about your sex bomb!

While the clothing is all neat, button up shirts and beige slacks and cowboy hats, (I just cruised straight by) the leather boots from RM Williams are a thing of beauty. Made of leather and tough as nails (they're built for the rough and ready conditions of farm life, after all), these are some hard wearing, comfy and well designed boots. Despite being far from the target market, the staff didn't bat an eyelid when myself and my heavily bearded, heavily hipster BF came by to check out the boots, and they were SUPER helpful. No, the boots are not cheap. But put it this way: you're supporting an Aussie (wait, a SOUTH Aussie) business, and these boots are likely to last you 10 or more years. I wear mine constantly, even teamed with cute dresses over summer - they're some of the best music festival shoes of all time. News alert: you don't need a horse to shop here.
