• Comfort and Podiatry Endorsed: Footwear built around fit rather than fashion. Shop arch support, removable footbeds and wide-fit styles from Ziera, Josef Seibel, Ara and Gabor, including our APoda podiatry-endorsed range. If you are looking at Birkenstock for the footbed, this is where to start.

• Loafers and Flats: The wardrobe workhorses, and one of the strongest Black Friday categories on the site. Leather loafers, ballet flats, Mary Janes and casual slip-ons, with Django & Juliette carrying the deepest range.

• Leather Shoes: Mountfords is a leather-first retailer, with more than 4,600 leather styles in stock. Shop leather flats, loafers, boots and dress shoes at Black Friday prices.

• Boots: Ankle boots, long boots and Chelsea styles heading into the new season.

• Dress Shoes: Formal footwear for the Christmas and New Year events calendar, in leather and suede, with comfort-focused options from Ziera and Rockport.

• Heels: Block heels, wedges and heeled sandals for party season, with the widest choice from Django & Juliette.

• Sneakers: Everyday leather sneakers and casual styles for women and men, including Ecco, Gola and Craft.

• Men’s Shoes: Dress shoes, boat shoes, casual styles, boots and sandals, with Rockport and Josef Seibel leading the range. Professional fitting available in all eight stores.

• Accessories: Socks, insoles and shoe charms to finish the order. 

Is Birkenstock included in the Mountfords Black Friday sale?

Birkenstock was excluded from the Mountfords Black Friday storewide discount in 2025. Birkenstock sets its own retail pricing and does not participate in retailer promotions. Mountfords stocks the full Birkenstock range year-round, and the Black Friday discount applies across our other brands including Django & Juliette, Ziera, Rockport, Josef Seibel and Ara.

Do podiatrists recommend Birkenstocks?

Birkenstock is widely recommended for its contoured cork footbed, which supports the arch and distributes weight across the foot. It suits people who need arch support in a casual sandal. It is less suited to anyone needing a fitted heel counter, adjustable width or an orthotic-friendly removable footbed. Mountfords carries an APoda podiatry-endorsed range for those requirements.

Which Black Friday shoes are podiatrist approved?

Mountfords carries an APoda podiatry-endorsed range across brands including Ziera, Josef Seibel, Ara and Gabor. These styles are assessed for arch support, heel stability, width fitting and removable footbeds that accommodate orthotics. Unlike Birkenstock, the podiatry-endorsed range is included in the Black Friday discount.

Yes. The Mountfords Black Friday sale runs online and across our eight Melbourne stores at Bourke Street, Little Collins Street, Camberwell, Balwyn, Clifton Hill, Doncaster, The Glen and Sorrento. In-store shoppers can be professionally fitted and take their shoes home the same day, which matters most for comfort and wide-fit styles.

Is Black Friday a good time to buy shoes?

Black Friday is one of the deepest discount periods in the Australian retail year, and the timing works well for summer styles heading into December. The trade-off is availability: popular sizes in leather styles sell out and are not usually restocked, so shopping early in the sale gives the fullest size range.

Is delivery free during the Black Friday sale?

Free delivery applies on Mountfords orders over $150, the same as any other time of year. Delivery timeframes can extend during peak sale periods. Alternatively, visit one of our eight Melbourne stores and take your shoes home the same day.

When do I need to order for pre-Christmas delivery?

For pre-Christmas delivery, Australian orders should be placed before 17 December and New Zealand orders before 10 December. Ordering during the Black Friday period rather than in December gives the best chance of arrival before Christmas.

Can I use Afterpay on Black Friday orders?

Yes. Standard payment options are available during the Black Friday sale, including credit card, PayPal and Afterpay, both online and in store.

Can Black Friday orders be returned or exchanged?
