About:

Handcrafted boots and shoes designed in Melbourne, the majority of which are produced in Sydney by independent and under-recognised Australian company Belmore.

Both sexes are catered for. Free shipping within Australia.

Please Note!

Website can be glitchy:

  • if you find your size, refresh the product page and select your size. If you go to choose your size after having already selected a size that is 'sold out', it may continue to show as 'sold out' no matter which size you choose.

  • If browsing by desktop, keep scrolling down the sale page - more deals should appear.

Along with underwear, wool and leather goods, shoes are one of the few remaining areas of fashion where world-class producers still exist locally. There are still plenty of local makers of general clothing for women, though men can at least be content not having to choose from such a ridiculous number of brands constantly vying for their business.

My preferences:

Fashion & Apparel Belmore Clothing Desert Boots Footwear

    Is the price going up or down ?

    • Shiny Mew on 06/07/2016 - 21:24

      Fixed. Dumb error. My apologies.

    You would think for shoes with price tags exceeding $100 from a smaller business that they would provide more photographs, information etc. on the shoes sold.

    What about the leather, stitching, welt…

    If they were selling Stan Smiths it would be a different story.

    • Shiny Mew on 06/07/2016 - 21:55

      This is something I have also found frustrating. If a number of people here message them with this concern, hopefully they will fix this.

    For $380 I would expect the boot to be tailored to me, based on the shape of my feet, their pressure points, my gait etc. - not off-the-shelf.

      obviously you're not a woman

    • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2016 - 06:59

      Lol - I think you're confusing orthopedic shoes with fashion shoes.

    • jjcf on 07/07/2016 - 10:17

      If you expect bespoke boots for $380, you are either deluded or you buy cheap asian crap.

        I'll take "cheap asian crap" and "suckered" for $500 thanks Alex.

    Too expensive

  • obsolet on 07/07/2016 - 09:11

    Agreed, too expensive against off the shelf shoes, and probably could not compete on quality with the higher end market. Why would I buy a Chelsea style boot from here when there is RMW making arguably better ones?
    I am all for small manufacturers. I am all for paying the right price for high end, quality products. One doesn't have to compete against John Lobb or Saint Crispins, but in order to command high prices, confidence in quality and detail needs to be there…

    • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2016 - 09:36

      Send in a couple of measurements, then get handmade ones, yeah … I'd be willing to pay even more than that.

      …. so you won't buy good shoes unless it's proven but you won't let them attempt to prove themselves, because it's an unknown brand and there's no confidence in quality or detail….?

      Full offence, it's this kind of thinking that destroys small local manufacturers.

      Now, for the record, I too have not researched "Belmore shoes," but instead of posting why it is too expensive, you could've spent the 2 mins typing belmore shoes review on google and then negging if the quality doesn't seem bad.

      But hey, I guess that's why in this day and age, there's more ppl working in marketing than ever, because IT WORKS.

      • obsolet on 07/07/2016 - 19:26

        That's some strong attitude there - are you affiliated with the shop?

        It's not up to me to prevent or let them "attempt to prove themselves" - I'm not the gatekeeper, nor do I have the influence to make or break them.

        Not sure what exactly the "full offence" you mention you think it is, but if it is caution, so be it. I can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars on shoes just to try if they're ok and charge the cost to experience. Feel free to do that and enlighten us!

        Finally, on marketing ('cause I can't seem to make sense of the sentence preceding it): with the exception of basic necessities (and there aren't that many of them), everything else you spend your money on is the result of some influence or persuasion that you need/can make use of/get some value from those goods/services. That's marketing at work. Good marketing is essential to the survival of any business.

        Now, you may be one of these folk who think that marketing/advertising doesn't work/is not worth it. (Well, then you're probably not in business yourself). Good luck to you - one day you may realise you're mistaken…

        • grunge on 07/07/2016 - 19:53

          No I don't work for them nor am I affiliated with them.

          I'm just flabbergasted, that you say you are "for small manufacturers," yet in the same breath attempt to say it's too expensive and may not be good, and that they should spend more money on marketing.

          It's small minded thinking like this that destroys local small businesses, and when the those ramifications finally come around, it's the same people that say "how dare big businesses do this to us!"

          I'm not going to continue to feed this convo as I know this is going to be a dead end.
          At the very least, I can definitely agree with you that marketing works when you spend big money on it, I mean, you're the PRIME example of it.

        • obsolet on 07/07/2016 - 21:14

          @grunge:

          There's nowhere in my original comment where I mentioned they should spend more money on marketing. I only made the point that they need to provide confidence in the quality and detail. Which may mean a more detailed description, some indication of the grade/type of leader, construction, more photos, etc, etc. It doesn't have to be more money on marketing.

          I am indeed for small business and I do what I can within the limits of what I can afford - whether it is buying quality items from small manufacturers, local produce, or helping crowd funding campaigns. I learned from that the one cannot say small=quality or that small=good every time (and that's not making a reference to the current offer).

          If that's small minded thinking, so be it! Meanwhile, you stay safe and enjoy the view from your high horse!
