DOF Studios

Australia · Est. 2013 · Mid-range

Designer Melissa Butera founded DOF Studios in Melbourne in 2013. Drawing on her Italian heritage, she designs women’s shoes and accessories that balance practical wear with a strong shape. The current footwear range covers flats, loafers, heels, sandals, boots and sneakers, while belts sit alongside the shoes. DOF’s designs are developed in Melbourne and made in Italy. Some product listings identify the workshop more closely: the Selena sandal, for instance, is made at a Naples factory with six generations of shoemaking experience. Across the collection, polished leather, suede, considered proportions and wearable heels give the label its mix of contemporary and traditional style. DOF uses European sizing and lists styles from EU 35–42. Its guide is based on a standard B fitting and recommends sizing up between sizes, while individual product pages identify departures from the usual fit. The brand sells through its current official shop at dofofficial.com and Australian retailers including The UNDONE, David Jones and The Iconic.

No Skin

Australia · Est. 2020 · Mid-range

Nōskin is a Melbourne footwear and clothing label founded by Tony Corrales, Jai Long and Ash Pierce. Developed around vegan wardrobe staples, it pairs an interest in music and street style with familiar shoe shapes: Chelsea and combat boots, derbies, loafers and sneakers. Its clothing extends that approach into pieces intended to be worn together. Nōskin footwear is designed in Melbourne and handcrafted in Franca, Brazil, at an all-vegan factory. The brand says its shoes contain no animal-derived materials or glues. A Rose Loafer listing, for example, specifies a Spanish-milled microfiber polyurethane upper, rubber sole and microfiber lining, making clear what “vegan leather” means for that pair. Many of its boot and loafer designs use substantial lug soles. The brand sells online and has a studio store in Collingwood. It offers international shipping and a footwear repair service for customers in Australia, including resoling and cleaning. Sizes and fit differ by style; the Rose Loafer listing spans EU 37–47 and describes that model as true to size.

Nelson Made

Australia · Est. 2018 · Mid-range

Artist and designer Jamie Nelson established Nelson Made in Australia in 2018. The women’s footwear label focuses on sculptural shapes that still work in an everyday wardrobe. Its collection includes sandals, flats, mules, heels, boots and sneakers, often using a change in proportion or an unusual curve to make a simple shoe feel distinctive. Materials are a substantial part of the brand’s approach. Nelson Made uses recycled leather in some designs and says it buys most of its conventional leather from Leather Working Group certified suppliers, with exceptions for certain specialty materials. It also lists vegetable-tanned leather, organic linen and certified fabrics among its material choices. Those details vary by shoe; the range as a whole is not leather-free. Nelson Made’s size guide covers EU 35–43 and provides corresponding foot lengths. The brand sells directly online and through Australian retailers, including selected David Jones stores in Sydney and Melbourne, The New Trend, The Iconic and The UNDONE.

Edie Collective

Australia · Est. 2020 · Mid-range

Edie collective is a Sydney-based vegan footwear label founded in 2020 by creative director Ebanny Dwyer. Dwyer, an animal advocate, wanted more considered shoe options that did not use animal leather. The collection takes familiar wardrobe styles, including boots, loafers, sandals and heels, and gives them a polished, contemporary look. The brand says its shoes are entirely vegan and handmade by a family-run factory in China that has undergone a SMETA audit. Its material information is more useful than a broad sustainability claim: edie identifies microfiber and polyurethane-based leather alternatives, including recycled material with Global Recycled Standard certification. These are still synthetic materials, so shoppers can review the composition of a particular pair before buying. Edie sells through its own website and selected retailers. Product pages list European sizes and describe the fit and materials of each style. The online shop provides shipping information for Australian and international orders, making it the place to check delivery availability for a specific destination.

Kuwaii

Australia · Est. 2008 · Mid-range

Designer Kristy Barber established Kuwaii in Melbourne in 2008 as a clothing and footwear label centred on thoughtful, lasting designs. Its shoes complement the relaxed shapes and considered colours of its clothing. The footwear range includes leather sandals, boots and lace-up shoes, with details such as sculptural straps or distinctive soles giving familiar styles a Kuwaii character. There is an important production distinction for shoppers researching the brand. Most Kuwaii clothing is made in Melbourne, but the company says its footwear is now made in small batches at a family-run factory in Australia. Kuwaii describes working with a small supplier network and offers a repair program as part of its approach to keeping products in use. Kuwaii footwear is available through its website and Melbourne stores. Current styles commonly use European sizes 36–42. The general size guide says many fits are generous, but individual shoes can differ: some sandals, for example, have their own advice to size up between sizes. Check the relevant product page before choosing.

A.EMERY

Australia · Est. 2017 · Mid-range

A.EMERY began in Melbourne in 2017 when designer Anna Emery-McClure set out to make the simple, all-black leather sandal she could not find. Sandals remain central to the label, distinguished by clean straps, restrained colours and shapes designed to work across a wardrobe. It has since expanded into boots, other footwear, clothing and accessories while keeping that minimal approach. The Melbourne team works with different makers by category. According to A.EMERY, its sandals are handcrafted in the Delhi region of India. The brand says it sources footwear leather through Leather Working Group suppliers and conducts annual audits of its manufacturing partners. These are specific sourcing and oversight practices rather than a blanket guarantee about every product’s environmental impact. A.EMERY sells through its own website and international retailers. Its footwear follows European sizing, generally EU 35–42. The brand advises shoppers with wider feet to consider sizing up and those with narrow feet to consider sizing down, then check the details for the individual style.

Rollie Nation

Australia · Est. 2012 · Mid-range

Australian designer Vince Lebon launched Rollie Nation in 2012 after his wife Kat, a flight attendant nicknamed Rollie, wanted shoes that were comfortable and light enough to travel with. That idea still shapes the brand: practical footwear with the appearance of a dress shoe and the easy feel of a casual one. The Derby lace-up is Rollie’s best-known style, combining a neat, versatile upper with a flexible, lightweight construction. The range has grown to include boots, sneakers and other everyday silhouettes for women and men. Across its designs, Rollie uses features such as cushioning and light soles to make shoes suited to long days on the move. Rollie sells through its own website and stockists, including stores where customers can try pairs on. Its standard women’s size guide runs from EU 35–43, while some Derby styles offer extended sizing. The brand suggests Derby styles as a starting point for wider feet and provides individual fit guidance for shoppers choosing between designs.

Habbot Studios

Australia · Est. 2009 · Mid-range

Founded by Annie Abbott in 2009, habbot is an independent women’s footwear label designed in Melbourne and made in Italy. Abbott developed the idea after working in fashion and footwear, bringing together classic European shoe shapes and a much bolder use of colour. Two-tone lace-ups helped establish the label’s identity; its range now spans loafers, boots, flats, heels, sandals and sneakers. Italian leather, contrasting textures and unexpected colour combinations are recurring features. After its first seasons were made in Naples, habbot moved production to a family-run shoemaking operation in Sant’Elpidio a Mare, in Italy’s Le Marche region. The result is footwear for shoppers who want a familiar silhouette with a more expressive finish. Habbot sells online and has a studio store in Collingwood, Melbourne, where customers can try on styles. Its shoes use European women’s sizing, with a general guide covering EU 34–43. Because fit varies by design, the brand recommends checking the advice on each product page.

About Australian Footwear on From The Labels

Australian footwear covers far more than one look. Independent labels may specialise in relaxed sandals, refined flats, work-ready boots, casual sneakers or occasion shoes, with collections shaped by different materials and production methods. The strongest choice depends on where you plan to wear the shoes, how they fit and whether you value local production, specialist construction or a particular aesthetic.

Location needs careful reading. A company may be founded, designed or headquartered in Australia while manufacturing some or all products overseas. A brand may also produce selected lines locally rather than its complete range. If you specifically want Australian-made shoes, look for a clear country-of-origin statement on the individual product page instead of relying only on the brand’s identity.

For shoppers comparing Australian shoe brands, women’s collections can be narrowed by style, size range, heel height, material, price and intended use. Check Australian-to-international size conversions, especially when ordering from abroad, and review whether prices are displayed in AUD or another currency. The profiles above also help you explore each label’s founders, ownership, manufacturing approach and shipping coverage. Before purchasing, confirm current stock, product origin, delivery costs, import duties and return conditions through the official website.
