The Zomp flagship store on Flinders Lane is an amazing space: giant oversized industrial beams scatter themselves about for strength and rigid integrity; the marble floor feels fancy, but not ostentatious; and the long central desk in dark timber is a warm counterpoint to the cool hard work of the architecture. And it’s full of hundreds of women’s shoes in varying colours, heights, heels and lengths all jostling for position and your attention.

There are two Zomp shops in the city and another on Chapel Street, all with a wide variety of well-priced shoes for many occasions.
