Our Story
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!

If his clever mind doesn’t stop anything suspicious in its tracks, his big puppy eyes sure do! While Gustav might not know the difference between a sandal, stiletto, and a slingback style, he sure understands how to keep the staff and stock safe!
