About Us

We started OtherWorld Shoes in 2018 to bring bold, sexy alternative footwear to Australia—without the long wait times. Based in beautiful, sunny Queensland, we ship fast and carry brands like Demonia, Pleaser, and more.

Before that, in 2015, we launched OtherWorld Fashion because we couldn’t find dramatic, well-made men's alternative clothing that truly stood out. So we took matters into our own hands—and with the growth of the business, expanding into shoes was the natural next step.

We hope you enjoy browsing this website and find fabulous, well-made footwear that makes you feel amazing.

OtherWorld now has you covered from tip to toe!

The OtherWorld Vibe

We don’t follow trends—we celebrate subcultures. From Goth and Steampunk to drag, fetish, cosplay, and pole wear, our styles are made to stand out. We stock pieces you won’t find in your local mall—and that’s exactly the point.

We also carry hard-to-find large sizes, with footwear going up to size 17. Everyone deserves bold, badass shoes—no matter the size.

We also carry larger sizes—up to size 17—because great style shouldn’t stop at a certain number. No matter your size, style, or reason for wearing them, you’re welcome here.

Yes, please! Tag us on Instagram @otherworldfashion or @otherworldshoes and show us how you wear it. We love featuring our customers and sharing the amazing looks you create.
