I've been living off dodgy $20 slippers purchased from cheap shoe stores. They don't last long, the…read moresole is thin and the fabric inside comes loose VERY easily. You have to walk in them carefully lest you cause damage sooner than expected. I normally go through a pair a year roughly, and buying slippers has become an annual ritual, one that I hate. Now Gadean provide specialty shoes, and while I don't have any foot problems that would require me to go out and buy custom footwear, it's much more comfortable having something tailored to your foot. Your foot is measured and care is taken to ensure the end result fits you like a glove... well a shoe... a glove on your foot would just be silly now, wouldn't it? I hope this pair of slippers last longer than all the others I've had. I'll let you know in a year!!

I went to what used to be called Gadean at West Beach last Wednesday, after a gap of three years. I…read moreremembered it as a place where staff could not be more helpful and were always able to supply me with a pair of comfortable shoes for my difficult feet.. But all had changed -- first of all the name which is now something like "Comfort footwear". When I managed to rouse the assistant (she was busy telephoning - I had to wait till she had finished) she showed no interest in me whatsoever, rather seemed to resent me for having interrupted her. I expected to have my feet measured and a selection of shoes produced which might suit them (as used to happen). Instead she just pointed to a selection which was displayed on a table at reduced prices and said "see anything you like?". When I asked about sizes she very reluctantly looked inside the shoe to find out. No advice at all was given on what might be suitable for my feet. I was extremely disappointed with the entire experience and definitely will not make the long trip out to 701 Burbridge Road to whatever it is called now to buy footwear.

Wow - so many shoes! As far as the eye can see, and women tottering in heels all through the shop…read more They have 70% off a heap of seconds and floor stock, as well as off many of this season's styles, making shoes that were well over a hundred dollars now around $40. Danger, if you're an inpulse shopper who is set off by bargains, don't shop in here! You'll come out with several boxes of shoes - esp. with the 2 pairs for $50 special that's currently on. Only a small range of their shoes are full priced at the moment - everything else is hugely discounted. And I love the size of this store. The only bigger shoe shops around are the Shoe Warehouses around. You can happily look through this shop for ages and enjoy all the different styles. And bargains.

I've mentioned my love for cheap shoes before, and I'll do it again. Who doesn't love a bargain? This store is just about overflowing with shoes, it's a glorious setting! There's so many to choose from, I can never decided what ones I want. They've got every type of shoe you could think of. Everything is at a great discounted price and just because they're inexpensive it doesn't mean they're lacking in terms of quality. The Shoe Shed aka high quality shoes for a low price.

More than that, I like good, cheap shoes, and sometimes I'm able to find just that at the famous Shoe Shed (famous for the advertisement, of course - and yes, I also randomly burst out singing this tune for no reason at all, apart from that I'm thinking about shoes). Anyway, the Shoe Shed is definitely worth looking in, but don't be expecting to find exactly what you're looking for, and for the price that you want. Because even though it's cheaper than most stores, it's still not the cheapest ever. This store at Harbour Town isn't their biggest or their best, but it's the one that I go to all the time purely because it's at Harbour Town and I love that place.

So imagine my disappointment with the Country Road factory outlet at Harbour Town. Soooo disappointing. While I like nice things, I also love a bargain and when this shop originally opened at Harbour Town, I was there in a flash. It's not that there are no bargains to be had but I was just completely let down by the stock on offer. I had hoped I would find a Country Road shop just like all the others and with all the same stock - but cheaper. It wasn't to be I'm afraid. Am I naïve? Sorry Harbour Town this shop may carry the Country Road name but its just not Country Road to me.

I really like Country Road, yes it's expensive but it's built to last. I was really excited when I…read moregot to Harbour Town yesterday only to find a factory outlet for this brand, I was trying to find a new wardrobe for my partner and this seemed like a great place to start... I was wrong, this store has NOTHING worth buying, and it's not much of a bargain either. It's almost like all the stock from the other stores that didn't sell came here to die and hopefully find a sympathetic buyer. Thumbs down and a scowl on my face.

If you're a fan of platforms and heels higher than the average cieling, this is your brand. If you can't walk in them and think they look silly, stay out, you'll just offend people by pulling faces when you see things you don't like (a bad habit of mine...) All those bright block colours in suede, chunks and platforms, huge stillettos - you see these styles in all other shoe stores. Unless you're a hardcore fan, there's little point coming here. You can get the brand cheaper at other shops in this centre.

They sell a variety of brands such as Airwalk, Saucony, Munchkin and of course Converse being the biggest one. One of the things I love about The Authentic Factory Outlet is that the stock is not limited to one genre. They sell a variety of footwear for both men, women and children along with clothing and acessories. I love buying converse shoes from here as they're always on sale and it's probably the best bargain you'll get in Adelaide (correct me if I'm wrong), but I know I haven't seen them cheaper anywhere else.

Full of discount shops - what's not to love!…read more I've usually been pretty lucky here, being able to pick up a bargain if I feel like a bit of 'pick me up' shopping. My mum and sister are both much taller than me, with long limbs and have found it more difficult to find items they like in their size. With the more recent addition of NoniB though, mum is much happier! There are a good mix of shops as well as options to eat or grab a drink. My favourite is Cherry Blossom sushi for a quick energy hit. All that shopping can require some refuelling. There are gift vouchers available and although nearly all the shops partake in the Harbour Town gift voucher system, there are a few where they aren't valid. There is a list available at the office, which could be worth checking if buying a gift voucher for someone who loves one particular store. My favourite store, Art to Art is there, closely followed by Novo Shoes that has some awesome shoe bargains regularly. A kind of weird tip I'd like to share is about walking along near the playground in the middle. I've been walking along window shopping, to only nearly twist my ankle and fall over. The playground area spreads out into the walk area and is totally soft and spongey! High heels sink in and the ground becomes inconsistent and difficult to walk on. Probably fine if wearing flats, but a bit disconcerting if not dangerous, if not!

Harbour Town has over 120 outlets and 70 specialty stores, and boasts as having the biggest Woolworths store in South Australia.

However, It's great for the outdoor shopping experience, without those fucking annoying preachers.

Cheap, cheap, cheap shoes! They're comfortable. They last longer than you'd expect. This store has a huge variety to choose from, seriously, sometimes the racks are overflowing. At the end of the day it all depends on what you like. I'm happy with a comfortable pair of wedges that aren't too fancy, but don't look daggy at the same time, and on more than one occasion Rubi Shoes has been the answer.
