Sydney, NSW, Australia	Ok, I have no flats and I really did not realise how much walking I woud be doing... So, I spend every day in sneakers or some ugly brown Sketchers walking shoes. I have about 10 pairs of heels with me. There is also a whole box of shoes coming in the crate; but I don't even remember what is in there (shhhh - don't tell my husband). One thing I know for sure is that they are all heels. I need some flats. But, I also need to buy them on a budget. Anyone know of any places where I could get some flats for around $20? Help! ~Mimi

Melbourne, Australia	There is a shop called Rubi Shoes which sells pretty much all shoes for under $20...they typically have a wall of flats as well that is usually 2 pairs for $20. They're not the best quality going around (owned by Cotton On if that gives you an idea)...but for $10 per pair you could replace them every few months and still get your money's worth...here's a website with all of the locations: http://www.localstore.com.au/stores/568/rubi-shoes/

Back to NY, when the time is right.	Yes, Rubi shoes has big selections of flats for low prices. They may not last too long though. Myer is having a shoe sale right now; might be able to find something there. I scored ones on sale at Sportsgirl recently. I hear the flats at Bloch are really comfy. They may cost a bit more, but I hear they can last for years. Bloch is the ballet store (QVB, Chatswood or Warringah). Let me know when you go. I'd be happy to join you

Elwood (Melbourne), VIC	DFO is good (I was there today in Melbourne and there were loads of shoe sales on). I also like Target for shoes. I got a really cute pair of peeptoe heels for work that are REALLY comfy but they had heaps of flats there as well.

Aaaaah, lucky you! I thought we had a least a month on you and our container just arrived last week. Our moving company has yet to unload it and schedule an appointment with customs, so I'm afraid we will be waiting another week plus. My kids are desperate for their Wii and I'd just like an extra towel or two : ) Hope your crate comes and good luck with the shoes! (I just got my boots that I ordered from Nordstrom last week, didn't take long at all.) Go online if you don't find anything!
