Many Australians are prone to shop for new-season wardrobe pieces from abroad. Must-Have Footwear is easy to find as local companies are experts in the field.
Unsurprisingly, sandals are prevalent in our beautiful all-year-round sun and idyllic beachside settings. We have many scandals, including the most minimalistic slides and chunky ‘dad’ sandals. These could be worn most of the year, but local companies understand that unpredictable weather is a top priority. A wide range of footwear is essential for Aussie life. We need to be able to go from work to dinner and back again, regardless of whether we are in the bush or the city.
We have many options, fortunately.
