Affordable, well fitted, comfortable shoes for children – Back to school made easy with quality, comfortable and professionally fitted shoes for my three children! The Williams Shoes here at Eastlands Tasmania had a great range of shoes and sizes for all three children. They were able to get fitted and walk out with the shoe they chose within their school uniform requirements. The Team were friendly and… Read more
went out of the way to ensure the experience was fun and I was well informed of sizing choices before purchasing. I will definitely be returning to purchase more shoes and shoe protector when needed!
1st class service kangaroo flat bendigo 20 oct 2025 Highly recommended fir all shoes Show details
Bought a pair of Colorado sandals for my son. He has hardly worn them and just put them on for this summer - we're in Brisbane. The sole has snapped and the leather has come away from the base. Colorado shoes used to be much better quality and last for years - the leather is so thin. I have seen other people with this same issue. You can see by the tread on the sole that they have not been worn that much. Show details
VERY impressed by Williams policy and customer service....I explain.I ordered for the first time shoes on line ....Unfortunately some shoes wasn't the exact size for me..So I had to do an exchange and have a refund on one specific model.NOT a problem..And the best , I could go to a store for that . That's absolutely terrific I could try and… Read more
decide.I had to go to 2 different stores for personal reason One in Westfield shopping centre..(where Valentina was charming and very helpful) Then to Highpoint where the manager I think , help me too..It is such a relief to be able to order on line and then go to the shop if necessary.. Williams have such a large range of styles and large variety of prices and I think they are all of great quality.. I will be back Thank you to all
Back to school made easier with Williams – Williams school and sports shoe range for our son exceeded our expectations. We were able to have him fitted in store for both ensuring he was comfortable and had room to grow. We were able to get the Lynx range in both black and white leather I highly recommend Williams for all shoes especially kids shoes!

My wife bought two pairs of shoes from Williams about nine months ago. Both were summer styles and hadn't been worn a great deal after April. My wife noticed one shoe had split near where the big toe would sit. Took them back to Williams, who,… Read more
despite the passage of time, saw there was minimal wear and arranged for the pair of shoes to be replaced - all quite simple and painless, and a special thank you to Lidia in customer care.
Follow-up · Replacement took less than five minutes. There were three other people checking out shoes at the time. My wife says the replacement pair seem to be more robust, thicker on the sides. She wore them for hours a few days ago without problem.

Williams Shoes at Stafford advertise on their website that they open at 9am on Sundays, so I left home at 8:40 to arrive right on 9. The doors remained shut until 10:15am. Someone in the store but not opening the doors despite 3 customers waiting. I'm only here because of the poor quality of the shoes my sister's carer bought for her some months… Read more
back. The velcro, which was meant to "secure" the strap frayed and the stitching let go.
The carer kept the detached velcro, because Williams suggested that they would reattach it, however because it was so obvious that these were very poor quality all around, I felt that the best thing to do was to return the sandals for a credit to my sisters account. Given that the only reason it detached was that it had freyed past the original stitching, and the quality of these shoes was absolutely abysmal, I went to the store to return the shoes for a credit.
I've seen thicker blotting paper than the material used on the straps for the Volutae-IL (IL12764TANSM400). Still waiting at 10:45am, finally spoke with Williams staff member!
I finally arrived back home at 11:20 am, no credit, shoes left at store and I was told that I would have to return on the coming Tuesday for them to be able to organise the credit to my sister's account, so yet another trip required after 2 hours and 40 minutes completely wasted on a Sunday morning without any real progress!
Fantastic customer service! – I attended the Williams Epping store today to purchase a pair of school shoes for my middle child starting Prep this year. I was greeted by a staff member Violeta, then she allowed me to look myself but was close by to assist. I really liked that as sometimes when you're bombarded as soon as you walk in it can become a bit overwhelming. As soon… Read more
as I turned to her she was ready to go, and was helpful from the get go. Violeta was very knowledgeable about the shoes I had chosen, and even though the initial style I wanted wasn't in stock in my child's size, she brought out other options for me to try.
She measured my Son's foot and matched his foot length with the insert, not just by trying the shoe on.
She was very kind and gentle with my Son, he was quite shy so she made him feel very comfortable, he even said when we left "that was a nice lady!"
I also purchased the school shoe care kit, & ended up leaving with two pairs of shoes.
The store was very clean & tidy, everything was in its place and easy to access.
Violeta is an asset to the company. She showed fantastic customer service and was genuinely helpful and thoughtful when assisting my Son & I.
Fantastic experience, helpful staff! – I had a great experience recently at Williams Geelong - Belmont. The staff member, Dorothy, was absolutely fantastic. She was so communicative, knowledgeable and helpful. I attended with three young girls and she was so patient throughout the whole chaotic visit. She made each of the girls so comfortable with their fitting - she took their sizes,… Read more
wrote them down for us, and helped us with what options were available for each size. My girls wanted to talk to her all day. She was so attentive and asked the girls so many questions about comfort/fit etc to make sure the shoes were right. She also gave us some very handy tips on how to make shoes tighter by tying the laces different ways. We ended up purchasing a pair of Colorado Lasser runners in size 8 SNR. My 10 year old was extremely happy with the runners. She thinks they're the most comfortable runners she has owned so far. Value for money is great - the shoes are reasonably priced but fantastic quality, fit and comfort. I've never had a better experience shopping with my girls than we did at Williams. Very happy overall with the service, patience and assistance received. The only negative about the experience is that the store wasn’t sent the full range of products, so we were a bit limited with our options, but we found something that worked for us so no real issue! I'd recommend shopping here to anyone who asked.

excellent customer service in Wodonga store, when returning pair of Supersoft boots that I purchased online and was able to swap for more suitable pair, will shop at this store more often now. Show details
I was shopping in Williams in Blacktown Westpoint a couple of days ago. I went there to have a quick look at the shoes. I was assisted by Monique, a very nice and professional lady. She went above and beyond with not only the standard tasks, like checking the shoe sizes for me, but she also showed me a range of shoes which as she said, "I might… Read more
like", and she run me through all available discounts. She was absolutely brilliant! Needless to say, I ended up buying three pairs of lovely shoes and a bottle of protective "Waproo" spray. I highly recommend this shop!
Thank you, Monique, and thank you Williams Shoes!
I contacted customer service due to faulty boots. Even though my purchase was 4 months previously, I expected that with the price I paid, that the boots would last around 2 years. With great communication from Williams, I was able to have my boots replaced. I really appreciated that they were understanding with my situation and willing to replace the boots for me. Very happy and appreciative customer, thank you.

Yesterday when I went to buy a pair of shoes to Williams at the Glen I met a very impressive salesman named James. He was so polite & Efficient and did his job to the entire satisfaction of me to provide me the exact shoe pair I needed. The first time I met a shoe salesman like him in Australia since 2005. I wish him all the best to James for a… Read more
Bright Future. Good Luck James. Thank you once again for your patient, efficient and polite services. Sarath Fernando.
An ad for some gorgeous blue microsuede with black patent leather detail came up on my social media. They were exactly what I was looking for so started ordering straight away. Within a few minutes my irder was placed and I noticed the number if available shoes was getting very low. A few days later my parcel arrived. Opened the parcel and the box… Read more
looked correct. I opened the box to find a pair of fire engine red shoes. I was extremely disappointed as I had been looking for navy shoes for ages. The shoes were so beautiful I decided to keep them anyway. I wrote to Williams and they asked for evidence of the mix up. I sent photos of the box and shoes. They were polite in their response but that was it. As far as they were concerned, because I liked the red ones the matter was settled, no apology, no discount on my next order or even a token gesture of good will. Very disappointed.
I went into this store today and right away the mature aged gentleman was kind and very helpful, after shopping here and in Woden. We returned to the store to ourchase the pair of shoes he set aside for my daughter, both men were helpful but it was the extra step he took setting aside the shoes and giving me the store phone number (in case we… Read more
found shoes elsewhere that really set the experience apart from every store we went into and I only wish we had gotten his name to thank him properly.
The Staff are not nice at all. This is in Cairns Central. I asked for a size 11 and they gave me it. I then was going to buy it but I noticed it had multiple creases in it. I then I asked them for new ones but they rejected aggressively. I really hope they get a lesson!
Excellent service, if you buy online and the shoes do not fit, you can exchange at a Williams store, many companies will not do this, they have you mail the item back at more expense. Very happy with their shoes and service, been going to them for years now. Great bonuses and birthday discounts too! Show details
I need to give a shout out about Cassie at Toowoomba Grand Central store. I was in there around lunchtime on Sunday 5 October 2025, and she working alone and was incredibly busy. She still had a smile on her face and an incredibly friendly demeanour. She didn't look or act stressed or under pressure. I had other things to do in the centre so I… Read more
left the store and came back when it was a little quieter.
She was very helpful, happy, and friendly. She's truly an asset to your team. She deserves a staff award/incentive for how awesome she is, especially whilst under pressure.
An incorrect pair of shoes were shipped. On contacting customer service the error was acknowledged within a few hours and a return postage sticker emailed to me. Next business day I posted the incorrect order and within 24 hours received notification that the correct order was being dispatched. Show details
In-store experience at Williams Shoes is always great. Helpful and friendly staff, and nothing is ever too much trouble. The on-line shopping is also great. My last pair of shoes arrived in less than 2 days. And you can return in store if they are not quite what you wanted. All round, Williams is a great store. Show details
Purchased my son's school shoes online but the fit was quite narrow for his feet. Had to return it the next day via aus post. Didn't get an update from them at all. If not for Aus post who's on point on notifying customers on the status, I wouldn't have known that Williams already had the item. Had to reach out to them to get an update. Which is… Read more
very disappointing as this is not the experience I get from other companies. They are very slow on returns and refunds which is what other reviews have said. I just didn't expect their return process is poor. Will not be buying from them online again

Excellent service from Nas at Tea Tree Plaza in Adelaide-she was friendly, helpful, patient and above all knowledgable which resulted in me purchasing 4 pairs of shoes! She listened to what I needed and helped me find more than I’d walked in for but with no push or shove to purchase just her helpful self!! Show details
Went shopping for shoes close to closing time, Carole at Williams Macarthur Square went out of her way to help. I love the shoes we chose. She was very helpful and knowledgeable in styles, brands will be shopping there again Show details
AVOID THEIR ONLINE SERVICE - Not sure how it happened, but when I reviewed my online order literally SECONDS after purchase, it had selected the wrong size. I spent time with the online chat helper then phoned their head office. NO THEY CANT CORRECT, MODIFY, CANCEL, or CHANGE any online order - even after miliseconds of purchase. Show details
Recently my husband bought a shoe and there was a half price sale on the second pair. The size I wanted was out of stock at the store, so they have couriered from Perth. Unfortunately, I wanted to exchange it for a lesser size and they dint have it. So, I have chosen another shoe in place of the exchange but they charged me full price of that shoe, which is unfair.

Shopping at the Wollongong store , the store was full with only one staff member serving many customers assisting with sizes, sales and enquiries.Maddie gave exceptional customer service that is hard to find , more than one member was definitely needed but she helped everyone in a timely and extremely patient manner 5 stars to you Maddie Show details
Durable school shoes – recently got a pair of school shoes for my daughter from Williams Shoes, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The quality is excellent, providing great support and durability, which is exactly what I was looking for to get her through the first school year. The fit is perfect, and she finds them really comfortable, even after a full day of… Read more
wear. I also appreciate the range of styles available, making it easy to find something practical yet stylish for school. Overall, I highly recommend Williams Shoes for school footwear. The combination of comfort, durability, and great service makes it a go-to for parents looking for reliable school shoes.
We highly recommend Williams! ❤️ – Our daughter needed new school shoes, and we had a fantastic experience at Williams! The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole process effortless. With their amazing selection, we quickly found the perfect pair—beautiful, comfortable, and built to last. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Williams for quality school shoes! ❤️
Great first shoes for my prep! – There's great variety at Williams. My son had a great time choosing the style that he wants and I dully support him as the quality looked nice. We chose a leather sporty shoes, perfect for active kid like him. The shoes comes with some inserts to make it more fit even if you size up for practical reasons. We bought shoes, one was available… Read more
