The other thing which has made importing shoes and other clothing items difficult is now that US brands sites won't ship overseas, and they've started blocking shipments to known reshipping services too. I can still buy three pairs of name brand shoes from a US purchasing service (who purchase from the brand's own site) and have them shipped to Australia for less than the price of one pair on that brand's site here in Australia.
