There aren't many other factory outlets selling shoes that a) stock more than one brand, b) are well organised and look like a regular shop and c) are positively huge with a big range. FSW ticks all three boxes and are predictably cheaper than department stores. Admittedly the styles aren't all in season, but to be honest, the range of shoes is so large that is doesn't matter which season it is, they will have something that suits. There are both mens' and womens' and kids' shoes, not alienating any particular group, but focus is no on sports shoes, in case you are after a sneaker. So if you need shoes for work, casual shoes or something for a special occasion, try here. FSW has brands like Hush Puppy, Sandler, Birkenstock, Windsor Smith, Florsheim, Merrell, Diana Ferrari and many, many more. My favourite part of the shop check out what bargains can be found at the back of the warehouse, where the clearance shelves are. It is still fairly well organised and not a messy mountain of shoes like in other places. I love how they are grouped by sizes, so I can go and browse everything on sale in a size 10-11 and maybe find something I wouldn't ordinarily look twice at. (Ladies if you have big feet, it's worth a look!).

See ya." Then they died leaving me facing the possibility of going to work next week with a shoe with half a sole on it. Wasted the day going to various malls where the shoe selection and pricing was abysmal. Come to the rescue Yelp which led me to FSW. Entered a hangar full of shoes with just less than half being dedicated to men. I'm after a thick soled boat lug shoe like timberlands classic 3 eye. They don't have anything like it but I'm able to find something low cost that will do until I find what I need long term. Thanks to FSW I know I'll have dry feet if it rains next week.

For such a small space, House of Leather has an impressive variety of shoes. They also sell handbags, but the variety there is not quite as large. The shoes, the shoes are where the action is. You can find almost any style you're looking for, whether it's flats, boots, kitten heels, stilettos, or sandals, and you can find them all in a range of colours and patterns. Plus, they have some hefty sales on now and again (there's one right now, 30% off), and their prices are fairly reasonable even without the sales. Have a look!

Situated within Wynyard Station, House of Leather has plenty of traffic thanks to the thousands of commuters who pass by. I was attracted to the store because of the very reasonable prices and the many shoes displayed in the window. Despite being a reasonably small store, the shop has plenty of stock and a range of sizes. The shoes are beautiful and are made even more attractive by their pricing. If you work in the city and love shoes, House of Leather is definitely a place to drop by for a quick window shop!

Today's bargain start at $60 and up to $ 500 on collection items. Since I just wanted to update my gym shoes collection, those $ 500 it's not my option for today. Staff are very helpful, they are 2 guys working today, I think 1 of them is the owner. Great selections of brand, Nike, you name it, air Pegasus, Nike Air with selection different years and different model, ( model from 2015, started from $180-$220; 2016 latest model $240) and some other brand too. I can't decided which one ahold I choose, But during the time, sales person was explaining passionately about different type of Nike shoes which I'm sure that he is expert on this field. Over all I'm happy that I found this boutiques goes shop. I would recommend for anyone passing through this area. By the way, I bought 2 pairs and very happy with those.

Imagine my happy face when I realised that they DO have a really good sale on, but it's permanent! Because this is an outlet store and all sizes aren't available in all shoes, the store is arranged in sizes- which makes it really easy to just scoot in on the fly and scope out what's on offer. As I always do without fail when passing here. This is no reject shop either, it's just end of season stock looking for a home.

Just toss 'em in when I'm done for the day, or, if I'm heading out I have a knack for stepping on every hole or drain in my way before aerating the lawn at the local park. For this reason, I'm also price savvy when it comes to my shoes. I know no pair can stand up very long to my abuse, but I still need something comfortable and, preferably, leather. That's why this Wittner has become my go to for work and every day shoes. It's an outlet, the land of never ending sales. I stopped in today and picked up two pairs of black pumps for the office, one suede, one leather, & a bottle of protector (hey, give 'em a slight glimmer of hope) for $114. Bargain.

Never before had I cared about what I threw on my feet - and I solely and squarely point the blame at Zomp. The story of this store began more than 30 years ago when the owners set up shop in Perth. Since then, they've expanded into nine stores and four states. Sydney is lucky enough to have two, with this Oxford Street outlet dishing up a huge range. The Zomp buyers head overseas twice a year to get the best from London, Paris, Spain and New York (to name a few) straight to our little tootsies. The shoes here aren't cheap, but you have a great range of labels to choose from and pretty much every kind of style you can dream of.

There were professional bags, there were everyday big slouch bags, there were bags with floral print. It was the summer sandals that actually got me in here, there was a couple of pairs that I thought were groovy but they were not on sale, they were approx $100. I also noticed quite nice jewellry and a couple of well priced bikinis - $30, which is really cheap for a bikinni they are more like $100. The staff were really friendly and informed me that Aldo is Canadian and is a massive chain in the U.S - it's only just becoming here. Well now I know.

Ranging between a size 9 and 10, mine are not the cute little feet that can walk into any shoe store and totter out with some fabulous new heels. In fact shoe-shopping is pretty much the bane of my existence. That is until I was introduced to Peter Sheppard. This is the store that anyone with gumby feet will adore - and by that I mean anyone with big, wide or narrow feet, in fact anything that's not a perfect size 6. These clever souls cater just for us! And now they've got a shiny store in new Westfield, it's even better (the old shop was stuck in the 70s - in a bad way). To add insult to injury, the other problem with gumby feet is that our shoes come with a hefty price tag. It might be a small price to pay for well fitting shoes, but Peter Sheppard also puts on a couple of stonking sales each year, so you'd do well to sign up to the mailing list and time your visits to suit.

This shop has the dubious honour of being home to two of my top three pairs of the World's Ugliest Shoes, and although they also have some really great shoes here I love checking in to see if they can out-do themselves! Anything I've ever seen here that I would consider buying has been priced to high for production-line shoes, but that hasn't yet stopped me from checking out every corner of the shop every time I pass by, even if just to see if they have managed to break their own record yet.

And chances are, you'll have some fancy new threads to show off. There's always so much happening at Westfield Sydney. Buskers in the mall, a sale at Zara, a new line of watches at Tag Heuer, or a new pair of Connies has come out at Hype. Either way, you'll never be short of something to buy, or something to look at. It doesn't matter which end or side of town you work in, you're never far away from Westfield Sydney; even if it's just to join the stampeding herds in the food court under Myer. Being a shopaholic, I could burn up a fortnights pay here in one go; and just keep rambling around until my bank card ran away screaming, or the bank just gave me the big thumbs down. Some may find the way the interior's decorated a tad too shiny, but I think that adds to the opulent atmosphere that you should expect from a shopping centre towards the upper-end of the spectrum. Be warned that you may spend sometime finding what you're after; but once you have, all will be right with the world... that's while your left trying to work out which arm to carry that extra bag on.

Anyhow they sell most of the leading sneaker brands and offer the funkiest designs locally available. They seem to source shoes from the major brands, but select the most unique and interesting designs they offer. The shoes are pricy, but not unreasonably for what you are getting, most of the shoes are under $200, which I thought was reasonable as they are generally well- known brands and shoes which will last. I do not need to buy shoes and must make an effort to stop myself, but Hype makes this a difficult challenge and offers me a serious test to my willpower.
