Ladies who shop !!

For those buying baby clothes, check out Next. Ships from the UK, usually for free and arrives in a matter of days. Prices are really good and the quality has been great. I buy far more clothes for Miss TC than myself these days

I only wear flats or very low and I love Peter Shepherd. I found the service in their Brisbane store very good - Sydney was quite poor.

Funny, I found the service in the Sydney store better than Melbourne so if Brisbane is better than Sydney.......

Agree Blackcat20 - I found Next a couple of years ago. Ezibuy also sell Next but it is a lot more expensive than Next australian site for exactly the same thing.

I bought a pair of Hobes (Hobes | Timeless Footwear Basics). They are very light as they aren't lined at all and very flat but they are comfortable. They were good to take away to wear on the ship over Christmas. I bought the Boat shoe style.

Interested to know, but a few years ago people got into trouble when buying from Mothercare (?) UK where the goods were held up by customs. Assuming that is not the case now?

Both times I have visited the Brisbane store, they made sure the fit was good and took their time. In Sydney they kind of threw shoes at me and came back ages later to ask if I wanted to buy them....One woman seemed to be doing all the work while the others stood around and chatted!

Frankie4 shoes without a doubt.

Bared get some good reviews but 2 friends have both hated them.

I was very impressed with Pure Baby’s delivery. I bought 4 items on Thursday. 3 were coming from Melbourne, 1 from Sydney and they all arrived 24 hours later in time to take to the hospital. I love that it is all organic cotton as well.

Just had a look - looks good as well. All these shopping opportunities opening up to me

Frankie4 are good - designed by a podiatrist and a physio!

I also love Mephisto/Mobils, but they’re hard to find in my size in Oz. (US women’s 11)

Thank you . I went into the Sydney Peter Shephard shop and bought a pair of shoes

Thanks for the tip. The Next website says no problem with duty.

The added incentive to purchase online again for me is the postage is free if your order is over $35, and just $6 if under $35.

I had stopped ordering from Fortnum & Mason, Harrod’s and The National Trust shop etc as the UK to Oz charges for post and packaging were very expensive.

I have never paid any duty. Delivery is fairly quick - but the "tracking" is hopeless - definitely NOT in real time.

Ha Ha - I just got the Peter Sheppard winter catalogue yesterday = and your shoes are in it

 

[mrsterryn]

I just meandered in and had a look
I am still contemplating whether I like them or whether I should have gone for the black.
The style is what I like I have to say. Just something a little different

THAT IS DANGEROUS !!!!

THAT IS DANGEROUS !!!!

Have to say there were actually quite a few more I could have bought.
Some very cute ankle boots...other casual ones lol
I did wonder how much bigger and better the Brisbane store was as I found the Sydney one to be quite good

Stick with the animal print imo. Very much on point as they say !
Plenty of boring black shoes around. Team with black or camel trousers.

Brisbane one was smaller but service was better (at least that was my experience).

I have shopped in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne and Melbourne is my clear favorite for range and service. Some staff in the Melbourne store have been there for years and they really know their shoes.
