I am so happy with my purchase and wanted to thank you for the pleasurable experience of buying from your shop the service is second to none and my shoes are perfect! Katherine, NSW
Hi Carol, Thanks so much. My shoes arrived today. They are great! Shopping on your site was a pleasure from start to finish!! Natalie, NSW
I am so thrilled to receive the most beautiful pair of shoes, so quick. It was like getting a special present from the foot fairy and special touches with the lollies. Years and years I have suffered from ugly shoes, sometimes even going to men’s shoes because of my foot size. Thank You Carol for starting up your business for us “long footed” women. Jennifer, Canberra
Hi. I don’t normally write reviews but I am so excited! I just wanted to say thank you for my shoes! It was so easy shopping with you and they fit perfectly! Postage was so quick and the way you wrapped them was like opening a present just for me! I find it so hard to find larger, wider and modern shoes here in SA – I’ll be shopping with you again! Sincerely, Emma, Adelaide

I bought a pair of frankie4 boots from here, and not only was the customer service incredible the postage was fast! Carol is incredible, I would not hesitate to order more online from this well run company! Thank you again! I am a critical care nurse and value my feet and back, do yourself a favour and get yourself some Frankie’s and support small Australian business like Carol’s that aim to please! Julie, Adelaide
Being a former dancer, I now have problems with my feet (bunions mainly). Unfortunately, I have been unable to find high-heeled shoes that are both beautiful and comfortable. Recently, desperately wanting to go to a friend’s wedding, and hoping to look and feel great, I did a bit of online research and came across the shoe garden. How very lucky was I! I found a wonderful pair at a wonderful price. Carol was very kind and sensitive in helping me to choose the best pair of shoes for me. Also knowing my purchase would help other women in Malawi start their own business was an added bonus. Many many thanks 🙂 Beverley
Within 2 sleeps of ordering my shoes they were delivered to my door. Correct size and exactly as the photo showed when I shopped online . Thank you Carol for your attention to detail. Bronwyn, Peregian Springs
Happy days when the shoe garden opened , at last beautiful shoes for the larger foot , Carol is not only a excellent buyer of quality beautiful shoes , Carol and Ce Ce make you always feel special and welcomed , l never leave without a pair of gorgeous shoes ( or two ) best store in Brisbane by far. Lisa, Brisbane
Woo hoo!!! My shoes are here. They all fit and they are all gorgeous. Preparing to go to work and incite yet more shoe envy. Thanks Carol. You have turned shoe shopping from traumatic to terrific! Kathy, Brisbane
Hey Carol!
I have just received my beautiful shoes in the mail today and just wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I am in love with them, they are absolutely gorgeous!!! I cried when I tried them on, I’ve had such trouble finding nice shoes that don’t make me look like I’m 50 (I’m 28!) for years!! So thank you helping me get back a little bit of confidence!!In the words of my 3 yr old daughter, “they’re very very wonderful mum!”
Very happy customer here!!! Jessica, regional QLD
My friend Ella and I made our quarterly visit to your beautiful shop last week. As usual we both came away with a couple of pairs of beautiful shoes. As you know as a teenager and young woman I used to visit shoe shops and enquire if my size was available (the response was usually an emphatic NO), however if I got lucky my next question would be what colours were available? (usually black, brown and white), I would grab the three pairs and run!!!!! I can only describe your Shoe Garden as heaven on earth and you Carol the Guardian Angel!!!! Thank you so much for being the caring person that you are. We love you. Penny, Brisbane
Hi Carol. The first delivery was at home last night and oh my gosh, they are absolutely stunning. I’ve never put on a pair of boots that fit so well! Needing a bigger size with support these boots are gold and of course ordered more! I can’t wait to pick up the next order from my parents place!! To know that these purchases help support other women warms my heart. You’re doing a wonderful thing. Please use this as a testament if you like. Thea, Gordon NSW
Collected my Zieras from Post Office today. Fit 10/10, Comfort 10/10. And to get them $100 off AMAZING. I will certainly be returning to “The Shoe Garden” website in the future. Thank ou for a great shopping experience. Keryn, Cannonvale QLD
Thanks Carol. My Rollies arrived yesterday and they are perfect. Loved the special touches with the packaging. Regards, Lea, Alfredton NSW
Hi Carol. I received my boots today and I am IN LOVE!!! Thank you for all your assistance. They feel a slight bit small in the length but the leather is lovely and soft and with the pointy toe will no doubt stretch a little. As a woman with mostly black shoes, I am secretly thrilled with the colour. Your personal touch with the wrapping paper and lolly bag (thrilled my children xx) in all honesty, it made me feel a bit pampered and spoilt! It is good to know that we share a size and this info will no doubt come in handy!! Thank you again. I very much appreciate your help! Melissa, Adelaide
The shoes are so beautiful, felt flattered by the little touches, the wrapping and sweets. Looking forward to revisiting your store again. Tracey, St George
At last, shoes that not only fit but do so with style. And as for service, where else would the items arrive gift packed with lollies. I am and will remain a returning customer. So wish we’d crossed paths in my teenage years … I could have avoided so many tears and so many ugly shoes. Ann
I am thrilled to finally have found a shoe store with absolutely beautiful product that caters for “long feet” (as Carol says). Carol was absolutely delightful, helpful and welcoming and I can’t wait until the summer range comes out. Thanks again Carol. Ann, Capalaba
It really is a pleasure to go shopping at the Shoe Garden. I never feel pressured in to buying anything and Carol and CC are the consummate Hosts. I think Carol enjoys finding that perfect shoe for her customers and is always happy to keeping bringing out her entire collection for you to try on. I wouldn’t buy anywhere else now. Christine, Brisbane
Hi Carol. Just a quick note to let you know how delighted I am to have found your shoe garden! My shoes arrived all packaged like Christmas — love the fast and extremely pleasant service. I’m sure to be back soon. Janelle, Orange
Just want to say a very big thank you for the gorgeous shoes that arrived yesterday. They were for my daughter who at 15 (last week) years old and 6ft and still growing, has a size 13 foot and finds it impossible to find shoes to fit (even ugly school ones!) in Launceston where we live. She has a formal dance coming up and we were really starting to stress when I stumbled upon your site and she found the perfect pair :). I would have to say that Zahra is now one of your biggest fans. She’s been saying for a couple of years now that when she grows up she’s going to design pretty shoes for ladies with large size feet. She even had a name picked out ‘Pretty Big Shoes’, which yes, we’ve since discovered has already been taken ). What impressed her even more was the beautiful way you packaged the shoes, the little addition of the lollies and most of all (especially as she’s half Nigerian) the fact your shop supports a wonderful charity that empowers women in Malawi.All I can say is thank you again for excellent customer service. Yes, we’ll be back and we will definitely be looking further into the Micro Loan Foundation charity. Take care and kind regards Trish, Launceston
I just wanted to send an email and say thank you so much for opening your shop for me a few Sunday’s ago. I bought a pair of Diana Ferrari stiletto’s from you. They’re the first pair of stiletto’s I’ve been able to walk around in comfortably for a day and not have to end up bare foot. It’s amazing what a correct fitting pair of shoes can do! I’ll definitely be coming back to your store sometime soon and be recommending your shop to all my friends with longer feet! Thanks again! Taylor, Gold Coast
I just received my shoes and they are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much Carol for the AMAAAAZING customer service I received before, during and after I placed my order! Definitely a returning customer .. oh and thank you for the goodies you included in my shoebox. 🙂 Sau, Sydney
My Mother bought a pair of shoes here some three years ago, and now that she has virtually worn them out, sent me to get her another pair. Carol could not have been more helpful, and made the whole experience of buying shoes for my Mother a delight. No worries, no stress, no hassles – that’s what shopping should be for men. My Mother now loves, and adores, her new shoes. Thanks Carol…and CC. Andy, Brisbane
Hi Carol
I’ve just received the shoes, thank you very much. Both pairs are lovely, but the boots are divine, love them. They fit perfectly, look pretty (I cannot believe I’ll be wearing pinkish floral patterned shoes in MY size) and are so comfy already. Many thanks. I love the way you are doing your business, it is highly appreciated. Vukica, S
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for my beautiful shoes. They all fit absolutely perfectly and I’ve had on my new heels ALL day today!! Not a blister in sight! I’m just soooooo stoked I’ve been able to buy 3 pairs of shoes that all fit, without even having to try them on! This is simply fabulous, and I really appreciate your excellent guidance on recommended styles and shoe size to order. You will definitely see me back for more. 🙂 Catherine, WA
As the father of an upset but yet very understanding teenage daughter, who has struggled to find quality shoes for social and formal occasions and also having to deal with the stigma of constantly hearing, sorry we don’t have them in your size. On our first trip to the shoe garden I watched my daughter walk in with the anticipation of disappointment in her face. Once inside Carol introduced herself and my daughter instantly felt the welcoming atmosphere and relaxed nature offered to her. After ten minutes we left with exactly what we were looking for and a teenage girl who felt completely normal .Thank you Carol at the shoe garden. We will definitely be going back. Greg
Thank you so much for the help with finding semi-formal shoes for my daughter Sarah. Having a large size foot often makes it hard to find fashionable shoes for teenagers particularly for weddings and functions. Your help was appreciated and Sarah is so happy with the shoes. Leisa, Brisbane
Having size 11.5 feet I have struggled all of my adult life to purchase nice shoes. I received my beautiful boots today from The Shoe Garden. The service and extra care taken with my purchase was second to none and certainly refreshing. I will definitely be revisiting this online store. Many thanks Carol. Keep up the passion.
Amanda, Batemans Bay, NSW
I love this store! It’s full of unusual colourful and bright girly shoes such a difference from the matronly canoes u see everywhere . Good taste good service good fun xxx ten out of ten or ten plus lol. Cassandra, Brisbane
Excitement was an understatement when I walked into your store. I have NEVER walked into a store knowing that looking at every shoe on display was a possibility! At 5 foot 6 and size 11 I often get judged on my shoe size compared to my height. When you add pregnant to the equation the result can be lots of tears! Your kindness and patience Carol was so appreciated and I walked out one very happy lady! Thank you 🙂 And your dog is just beautiful, my husband loved playing with CC ;). Ally, Buderim
To have a store in Brisbane that has groovy as well as pretty shoes is a delight to some who is 6 foot 1 and is a size 12 shoe. Gone are the days of buying shoes online and then having to return them only for the disappointment that they did not fit. I am so use to wearing a “comfortable” shoe that my orthotic can fit into but Carol’s honesty and wide range has even got me wearing pretty/girly shoes that I wouldn’t typically try. There is still at times disappointment that the shoe you want doesn’t fit but at least you know that The Shoe Garden always has an extensive range, so there is always next time! Brisbane local
