As an American, I had no idea what this was. Or why UCLA has a store here…read more I was not aware of this new trend. I wasn't aware UCLA had become a brand. But I loved the store. Good selection, affordable prices. The staff were helpful (and explained all of this to me). Recommend!!

Enormous range with a lot of the higher-end models from different brands, so you know you're…read moregetting the good stuff. The service is amazing - lovely salesperson Jess spent about 45 minutes helping me choose a running shoe and was cheerful and patient the whole time, even though she probably wanted to throw a shoe at my head. Also, if you sign up to their loyalty program and end up buying the wrong shoes, you can return them within 30 days even if they have been used once or twice - really helpful for peanuts like me, who obviously have trouble making decisions.

Must say impressed with expertise and the service provided best ever in foot retail! Leaves Al Bundy for dead! I'll be back for all my shoe needs!

I didn't realise that ASICS had been born from Onitsuka Tiger until I checked out their concept…read morestore. Looking to get myself a pair of Tigers, the staff were really knowledgable about the history of this retro-cool brand and how their original trainers from the 40's have now become fun street wear while the serious running business has taken off with ASICS. I probably wouldn't normally notice stuff like this when buying sneakers, but having been flat-out ignored at no less than 5 other branded sports stores, this turned out to be a more review-worthy experience. The store links in with an ASICS concept store too, so if you need to get your gait checked and all the heavy duty stuff, you can run in next door. Otherwise, just enjoy the colours and stuff available at the Tiger store, some of which are exclusive to the concept stores. I liked a pair of street shoes but got talked into some comfier run-arounds that also suit light exercise - which is what I was actually after. I hadn't been expecting anything more than straight forward sales here, so it's good to know you can get some decent advice even just for every day shoes.

Do you know whats unmatched? The warmth of my Abercrombie & Fitch jumper…read more A few months ago i stayed at a friends and had to borrow a jumper to crash in, I was completely shocked by how warm this jumper was (my plan was to 'accidentally' take it home but i felt bad), so I took a shopping trip down to QV and found Frat House. Frat House imports a few brands not commonly found in Australia and thank the all-mighty lord that they do. I purchased my blue A&F jumper from here and it is so versatile. I use it for sleeping, jogging and lounging around the house. The quality is just that grand! After a whole heap of washes the jumper has also kept it's quality! The store is a tad tacky with some of the designs but you can find some pretty plain ones that will suit your everyday needs!

Frat House claims to embody "American Style, Australian Attitude."…read more Presumably because of this slogan, pretty much everything in sight is plastered with Abercrombie & Fitch logos. Now Abercrombie is the ultimate in American preppy styling (they are going for a "collegiate" vibe apparently) and it does have some quite nice stuff on occasion. However, it can be quite frustrating when you find yourself something you like only to realise that it is splashed with branding. Just like the rest of Frat House's stock, Abercrombie could really do with being toned down a bit. While there is a fair amount of trashy stock at Frat House, you can also find yourself some classics. Just beware of the excessive branding.

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.

It certainly isn't easy to find good shoes here in Melbourne. Sure pleather knock-offs abound, but…read moreif you're looking for quality well thats another story all together. 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.
