Thank you to Darren

Children of the Revolution — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 02:26:28 +0000

Last week we celebrated Keen Week (something we invented ourselves), with the party really kicking off on Friday with Darren from Keen in store to interact with customers and generally promote the brand. We had juice and sausage rolls to keep our stomachs settled. For any customers that purchased a pair of Keens, they were rewarded with a coffee voucher to be redeemed at Sugar N Spice (just a few doors down from us). We still have some vouchers left, so for all Keen purchases until the end of the year, vouchers will be supplied.

Thank you to Alistair

As you may know, we had Beautifeel celebrations on Wednesday. A very big thank you to Alistair and everyone that come in to see what we were up to. We had a very successful day! And the cupcakes were delectable!

We still have plenty of Beautifeels for the remainder of the season so please come in to have a look.

A bit of history

We’ve been cleaning out the computer, and we have been admiring all the shoes Sally has brought in over the years.

However, the one below blew me away with how different the shop looked back in 2005!

And now look at us!

New Aetrex Berries in Brisbane

Yep….maybe a little bizarre but they are comfy and in store now. We have raspberry, blueberry, coco-berry (yes really) and blackberry colours in store

More kind words from a happy customer!

This came in via facebook. Thanks Fiona!

Gave my new Keens a workout on the walk to school today, so comfortable and feel very supportive. They will perfect for my trip. Thanks so much for the great service and advice. Fiona

“Help I live in Sydney and I need dressy black shoes that fit orthotics!”

kathy — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 00:00:42 +0000

Here are some options for customers of our Sydney store.

First off there are the very fabulous El Naturalistas. This is a beautiful shoe that uses recycled rubber in the textured sole while the cushioned inner soles are removable. (This style is also available in burgundy).

Then there is the Clarks Grande Aztec. Here’s what Clarks themselves have to say about this shoe:

A modern take on the classic Mary Jane, these women’s shoes combine a single rip-tape fastening strap with a fashionable demi-wedge heel and asymmetric detailing. Ideal for everyday work wear, or casual weekends, this feminine style comes with a layer of Active Air underfoot, for prolonged comfort and cushioning.

And finally, we have Clarks Grand Art

I don’t know why you’d watch this really – except to remind yourself that summer will be back.

“Help! I want a black shoe with a heel that looks good and fits an orthotic?”

kathy — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 05:04:56 +0000

Guess what? We have it! This might be one of our most commonly asked questions and we have some fantastic options available. These shoes are currently in our Brisbane store but we are more than happy to get them shipped down to you.

Talk a look at the Aetrex Madison or the Aetrex Renae. They are great for wide feet and are made of a 4 way stretch fabric

In addition, the Madison has a leather toe to provide extra protection (and look cool).

Here’s what Aetrex have to say about this range:
