Zu shoes are amazing! The buyers have a knack for buying on-trend, beautiful classics, as well as stocking some of the more outrageous styles (which I ignore!).
They also do half sizes, which makes them a mecca for me.

Zu shoes last well. I have two pairs in my wardrobe that I've had for one year and four years. Both are still pretty, sturdy and modern!

I've also bought many other styles that have been worn to death or gone out of fashion after much love.

I have bought shoes at other stores that just fall apart but Zu rarely disappoints.

Now for the bad bit: the staff at Rundle Mall are weird. They can be grumpy, super intimidating, act like they are doing you a favour by letting you try on their shoes, etc.

For a middle of the range, nice shoe store, their staff act like they wish they worked in couture. I notice they recently had some new, bubblier and friendlier additions, but the vibe is still awkward and annoying.

But it is DEFINITELY worth it for the gorgeous shoes.

Approximate cost: $60-180
