Only sizes remaining: 6, 7, 12 :(
Having dug my heels in and kicked the hell out of this site, I've slipped up, lost my footing and can't stand it any longer. Will walk away from this deal, shoeless, having been unable to stamp my authority and run out of tread.
I too will be chasing bargains shoeless.
keep trying, it just worked for me. first try too.
got to the check out part. havent moved passed it for about 10mins now
keep trying. you'll get through.
Just hope my Shoe size is still available when i do get through.
wow i can't even load up the page now. i must've been extremely lucky. 1 try and got through the whole way. from what i saw last only size 6, 7 and 12 left.
i need them 12's……. Come on.
Faaak nearly an hour trying to get them Size 10s and now sold out come off it….
Same thing just happened to me. I clicked "add to cart" and they were gone!
i feel guilty after reading how everyone's trying so hard and i got it first go. sorry guys. good luck.
Got 2 pairs size 9 and 10 after trying like 1 hour
is it US size or UK/AUS size? I think i might've ordered the wrong size.
I think it's mentioned earlier that it's AUS/UK
I hope so!!!!
Manage to get 1, keep trying, don't give up
Manage to get 1, keep trying, don't give up
Did you manage to get the other shoe yet?
I manage to get two shoes in two separate transactions. But I must have got extremely lucky the first time, because the address part worked instantly. On the 2nd attempt it took a few mins on that part, and it was very frustrating. I feel sorry for those that spent hours attempting to get one. On these deals I'm usually missing out, so its nice to get something for a change.
Finally. Paid through paypal and when i clicked on proceed or whatever it is, got the runtime error. but i got the confirmation order in my e-mail so im assuming it got through.
hmm now I have a ton of shoes in the cart…. just get to the cart lol
Phew, finally got through ! I don't think hiking in those shoes is going to be as hard as trying to buy a pair on their site ! Thanks OP
Good one.. Three and a half hours trying to buy shoes.. Tablet makes it easier
I admire your dedication. You really deserve this deal. :)
Hehe.. Cheers
Haha frantic, you really live up to your name mate :)
Is everyone getting UK sizes?
only size 6 left for them hiking shoes.
I had 11 in my cart and it went through no probs.. Now for shipping confirm
Finally got a pair but when i checked my credit card i have been charged twice but only 1 confirmation. I am hoping these are UK sizes. So i have emailed customer support asking them to cancel/refund the one without the confirmation and to process the one with the confirmation.
12:45, mine finally worked. Most of the east coast had to go to sleep first to do it though :)
Got the Atlantis Peak shoes…. knowing me they wont fit after all that hassle.
Site is crashing all the time.
When it does come up it is showing no sizes to order from.
I am guessing this deal is done.
Got the Atlantis, finally. Had a runtime error after paypal payment but got paypal email and confirmation order email so I guess it went through. Also had to use incognito tab as I ended up having 8 shoes in my cart in the normal browser window which I can't access!
Finally! I found Atlantis at last! What an effort!
Took about 30 minutes before. Hopefully size 12 isn't too big for my size 11/11.5 feet.
i had 2 pairs of shoes ready to buy in PP… but I just checked reviews and they see horrible.
You can't go wrong with a $20 pair of colarado shoes . Got some from 5 years back and still going strong !!
where did you read the reviews?
Finally got through to the site ,, bought in less than 1 min
Where the ozbargainers at .. Site not crashing anymore :D
After 9 hours from trying to purchase it - SUCCESS!
Protip: Go online at 7am when nobody else is around.
But in all seriousness, it felt like this every time it timed out -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YI0SLZreIi4
Obviously Lois is the personification of the timeout message.
now wonder if Colorado will do what FC did…. lets hope not.
I feel a "Lenovo" coming on here too.
You can just imagine tomorrow their first day back at work.
IT support guy gets called into CEO office……
….Walks out 10 mins later looking for new job
I don't think they have an IT guy
I think you're right. If they do have one, he deserves to be fired
same goes for most online retailers! you would think they would anticipate the demand this would trigger - Myer for example!
No sizes left - expired?
Not expired. Some shoes are Out of Stock, but the sale goes til 31/12.
Although not likely, there might be a re-stock.
What do you know, they have re-stocked them, before the sale ends too!
nothing left
Strange, I gave up after trying yesterday. I tried again today but no sizes left, was about to give up when I noticed my cart had a shoe, intrigued I clicked to find the shoe I was trying to buy yesterday was still in my cart. Proceeded to pay by Paypal Guest checkout and I have got order confirmation.
I doubt I'll get the shoes though, must been oversold I guess.
Strange, I had a pair in my cart after it was sold out and the price was the full $149….
Sometimes the discount doesn't carry through to the cart & you need to clear & re-add it (assuming there's stock to do so).
The sale goes til the 31st so the full price is only a glitch / error.
dead
They currently have just the Atlantis in size 6.
Which should do the missus at least.
Didn't this company have a fire sale
A lot of retail stores in Australia closed about 2 years ago.
Colorado is part of Fusion Retail brands:
http://www.fusionretailbrands.com.au/
The brand & it's related brands continue to exist in various forms. Eg online stores & retailers like Williams
http://m.theaustralian.com.au/business/news/colorado-is-rebo…

ermahgerd
Just bought 3 pairs
Have to check out as guest to get marked down prices to stick through checkout. When I logged in, I can only check out with FULL retail prices!!
thanks, got one this time
just hope they aren't discounting them because they are crap
Colorado should be fine?
I cant get any of the links to works, the williamshoes wont load properly.
Even though there was a re-stock the other day, all shoes mentioned in this post have SOLD OUT for the second time.
The sale link should be fine for other shoes in the sale
https://www.colorado.com.au/sale/
Ends tomorrow.
Edit: I've removed the Williams link since I didn't see any confirmation that it ever worked for a purchase.
I can see the shoes but unable to add to cart (since day one).
Just received my despatch notification tonight and also noticed more stock (again!).
Post updated.
Lamont Mens Sizes 6,7,9,10 & 12
Atlantis Peak MensSizes 9,10,11
Varda Womens Grey Pink Sizes 6,7,9,10
You guys seriously don't wear these day in day out, do you?
Better a walking shoe than a running shoe :)
To wear socks or not with the Atlantis shoe-sandal hybrid…
I was at the Brisbane DFO today and picked up the Lamont in size 9 AU/UK for $25. Also got Dad a trendy pair of Colorado sneakers for the same price!
Now just waiting for the Atlantis hiking shoes to come… but I think I've ordered one size too big (damn UK and AU/UK using similar numbering but different physical shoe sizes).
According to a Colorado email received this morning:
The Sale continues…
https://www.colorado.com.au/sale/
Sale ends at 12:01am 2nd January 2014 (unless extended).
I think they are liking the OzBargain attention!
My Lamont men's hiking shoes arrived today and I'm quite impressed.
They look great, have tonnes of support and are very sturdy yet quite lightweight!
A quick test and they seem great for walking.
That's $20 well spent, all I need to do now, is take up hiking!
received mine today
The clearance sale is still going and Colorado announced a further 30% off store wide, including online by using the code:
STOREWIDE30
The code wasn't working earlier but seems to be now.
The 30% off finishes Sunday 5th January.
Got my Atlantis from the post today, quite happy with it :-).
yeah, they seem ok. to be honest i didn't even realise they were sandals. got some pairs of the hiking boots as well.
Likewise, and now i'm disappointed that I didn't buy the hiking boots instead.
Well I did try to alert you guys to that earlier in the thread. But at least you got it for $19, I got mine at $29 at the last sale
Mines at the post office. Been there since Thursday I think. When you say 'sandals' it conjures up campy biblical images.. I think they are more like sneakers with ventilation?
they've got straps on the heel, so imo they are sandals
I'm with vented sneaker.
The front is totally enclosed. The triangular vents aren't overdone. The achilles strap is handy because the tongue toggle can be hard to adjust.
Haven't even received dispatch notification yet
Same…
Same +1
Shit. I contacted them asking if my shoes had been dispatched yet, and they ended up forcing a refund on me instead…
"Thank you for your recent Colorado Online order.
Unfortunately we have been unable to fulfill your request for The LAMONT:BLK~Blac from our warehouse or from any of our stores.
We apologise for the delay in notifying you of this, we have received a higher than usual volume of orders through Colorado online and we are working to notify customers of any items which could not be supplied as quickly as possible.
Your refund for this item has now been processed.
Refund amount $ 19.99
Please check with your financial institution over the coming days for processing.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience."
Damn :(
oh that doesn't sound good. i'm still waiting on some lamonts as well
pretty slack not to give any updates and then just go and cancel, it has been over a week since we ordered
Yeah, you'd think they'd be able to work out pretty quickly what orders they can and can't fill. Even if it takes a bit of time to organise all the refunds, letting people know it's not coming would be good.
I'm afraid that my order is going to be cancelled as well.
Ordered on: 25/12/2013 @ 7:43.25PM
Order Status: In Progress
Payment deducted from bank account on 30/12/2013
I emailed them today and got this..
Hello

As a customer service gesture we would like to offer you with a replacement product from our current Colorado range.
Please visit www.colorado.com.au to get an idea of what you may be interested in.
We are currently awaiting confirmation from our senior management as to how we will replace your order.
Thank you for your patience and understanding with this matter and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.
If you wish to contact us regarding this matter, please phone 1800 101 285 and quote reference number XXXXX.
Warm Regards,
The Colorado Customer Service team
I replied and asked for a refund. We'll see what happens. It's a bit rude they didn't offer the refund. I'll have to dig up the ACCC guidelines for quoting.
you should see what they offer as a replacement. it might be better.
agreed, sounds like a potential free upgrade :)
Yeah, they might end up offering a better product. The Lamonts actually aren't all that amazing to look at so if you can get a better looking pair of shoes for the same price, I'd go for that.
Got my refund. Wasn't interested in a drawn out process about a product swap or credit. It was always unlikely to fall in my favour.
The atlantis came today… and they fit perfectly!
So I ended up getting the Atlantis sandals for $19 and the Lamont hiking shoes for $25 in store… now I just gotta go hiking more often - lol
HAve they turned the server off? I cant get it to load at all now…
