Australian affordable shoe retailer Famous Footwear has announced it will shut up shop permanently in the coming months.

The women’s footwear brand, which has been operating for 25 years, confirmed to customers it will cease online orders by December 31.

It will then close its physical stores in NSW, Queensland and Victoria by early 2026.

According to the brand’s LinkedIn page, Famous Footwear employs over 200 people.

“It’s with sadness we announce the end of our journey,” the company said in a post on social media.

“Famous Footwear will be closing permanently, with our online store open until 31st December 2025.

“We’ve loved helping you find your famous fit for more than 25 years. We’re truly grateful for the loyalty and support from our community over the years.”

The brand said customers can still place orders until midnight on New Year’s Eve this year.

The remaining brick-and-mortar stores will be closed by early 2026.

Famous Footwear has 17 stores across Australia and is owned by parent company Asco International, which is based in Molendinar, Queensland.

The stores stock brands including Pied a Terre, Naughty Monkey, London Rebel and Venice Beach Shoes.

No reason was given for Famous Footwear’s closure.
