Staying true to my roots, I visited Miss Sixty on my whirlwind trip to Shanghai earlier this year. Having spent 2 years styling and selling at Miss Sixty (Melbourne Central and the late Chapel Street store), I just had to make my obligatory pilgrimage to my alma mater label. To my surprise, there was an actual Miss Sixty Footwear Shop, separate from the Flagship store five shops down the same street. I was blown away. I have never seen so many Miss Sixty shoes under the same roof! There were boots, heels, pumps, sandals and ballet flats in all different shades! What caught my eye next was the 70% off sign!!! Even though the last-season shoes were heavily discounted, I could not find a pair that was worth my RenMingBi….until a shiny purple pair of stilettos caught my eye- if only they had these killer heels in black, I wishfully thought. Fortunately, they did come in black! Unfortunately my size was sold out.
Then a miracle happened. The lovely sales lady informed me that there was another pair in my size in another shop elsewhere in Shanghai. I was only there for a limited time so I didn’t have the luxury of shop-hopping…but then she kindly offered to have them delivered to my front door if I just paid $10 (Chinese dollars) for ‘postage’.
So that night, I was united with my gorgeous black Miss Sixty peep-toes. They have a 10 cm silver heel and there is a squishy black square cushion on each shoe (the left one has a metal ‘Miss Sixty’ logo emblazoned on it). I adore them, especially because when I worked at Miss Sixty, my size in hot heels were always sold out before we staff members had the chance to purchase them.
How did I know if they would fit? I tried the purple ones on.
Yum! I can’t wait to chew on them!
Theodore,naughty,naughty!
Is that a Red Pack u got from Miss Sixty,or did u put $10 postage in..:PPP
good for you hun.
The red Miss Sixty label is to show that these shoes are genuine.
Wow! They’re gorgeous! They also don’t look as high as most Miss Sixty shoes, or am I deceived?
They’re tall but not skyscraper tall.
Gorgeous shoes! Just want to ask you if Miss sixty boots are true to size? I’m AUS7, would i be EU38 in miss sixty? TIA
Hi Mich! Miss Sixty are true to size because I’ve tried and tested them in Melbourne, Shanghai, London, Dublin and Zurich. You would be more of EU37 in Miss Sixty. But like with all shoes, you should try before you buy because it also depends on how wide your feet are. If you find a style online and want to purchase them, try a pair on at the closest Miss Sixty shop near you. If you go to misssixty.com you should be able to locate a store =) Good luck!
I like their Rebecca boots and I can only find size 36 and 38 online to purcahse. Not sure if I can go down or up a size. I’m in Sydney, haven’t seen Miss Sixty footwear here. =?
Hey Mich!
I’m so sorry but there is no Miss Sixty in Sydney. I used to get heaps of clients from Sydney asking me about that too. But Miss Sixty is stocked at David Jones. If you call up the Brisbane head office, they can tell you which other boutiques stock Miss Sixty garments and shoes. Keep an eye out on magazines which quote their phone number.
Also, there is a Miss Sixty factory outlet in Brisbane:
Address – Store No. 27 Airport Dr, Brisbane Airport, 4007
Telephone – 07 3115 2642
I’ve been dying to visit it as well, but when I used to work with Miss Sixty, I got stuff couriered down to Melbourne from there =)
Thanks for the info, I’ll call them tomorrow to see if they have any in stock and order it over the phone. I purchase alot of my shoes over the net since we dont get much here in SYD. I know my sizings in most brands but with Miss sixty I’m not so sure. They seem to be good quality shoes. Keep us posted with ur new purchases! =P
Mich please send me a photo of the shoes you get! Can’t wait to see them!
Does Miss Sixty still exist in Melb? I found their contact number on the web and tried to call, but got through to T2 instead. LOL
REALLY? There is still the flagship store in Melbourne Central:
Shp10/ Little Lonsdale Street St Melbourne VIC 3000
ph: (03) 9650 0766
Did you have this number?
Omg, ur a champion!! thanks so much for the ph number, I just called and they have it stock, but the girl wasn’t sure if they can post it to Sydney. So i’m just waiting for them to call back and confirm. *fingers crossed*
They have 30% off sale atm. =)
You are so lucky to have size 37 feet because sometimes Miss Sixty would get a batch of samples ( in size 37)- they’re all one-offs and usually discounted =) They should post to Sydney. Please upload/send me piccies when you get them!! Best wishes Mich!
Unfortyenately they don’t ship outside Melb and I asked if I could buy it over the phone and get someone to pick it up for me, but they dont even take phone orders. =(
Awww, Mich, that’s just bad business! It’s silly that they won’t post outside VIC since the price is the same! Oh well…thats their loss. Are you coming down to Melbourne anytime? You could book a cheap Jet Star flight! =)
Oh I ended up getting the boots in both colours! Got help from a lovely Voguette in Melb. I bought brown in 37 and black in 36. The sales girl said alot of customers find their shoes a bit big, so I purchased 36 without thinking and it fits very very tight. size 37 is perfect fit, but have to say it is a bigish 37. The brown is gorgeous, its a very dark brown which is rare to find. And the care card warrant card? that comes with it are all in Chinese! No English version…LOL, luckily i am able to read it. =P
Well done Mich! You must love those boots to get a pair in each colour! The dark brown pair sounds delicious! Certainly a pair that will last you for many seasons to come. I was right with my guess of you being 37. It’s much better to wear socks with boots than to have them too tight. I’m surprised that they’re in Chinese! What did it say? =)

These cards came with the pair i got from Melb store. I bought the black pair from asos.com, it doesnt come with any cards at all.
The other pair i bought from Asos.com doesnt come with any cards at all.
Cute shoes! Sorry to jump on this bandwagon quite late but i’m eyeing off a pair of Miss Sixty shoe boots online and being from Sydney as well I’m having difficulty finding them to try on before I buy. I’m a 7.5 usually… would a 37 be too small or are the boots a bit more roomy? Thanks
Hey Shez, i’m a 7 in most shoes. I find the boots in 37 is perfect fit with a bit of room and the 36 on me is very tight but i can still wear the 36 if i dont walk around too much. =P They only came in full sizes.
BTW, also check out the reviews on zappo, i find them very helpful.
Shez, I’d get a pair of 38’s. Australian Size 7.5 is the equivalent of European 38. One insider tip is though- if you have narrow feet, then 37 should be fine, if you have wide feet, then go for 38. =)
I would reccommend signing up at Zappos.com- they email you with great sales, only downside is that they’re American…
Gosh! Another Miss Sixty fan! =)
Hey do don’t by any chance know where i can get an evalution on art deco table lamps? Great site btw.
[…] bought these jeans when I worked for Miss Sixty, when Lily Donaldson was the model for the Fall 2004 campaign, back then I had no idea who she was! […]
