I have been having the same problem finding shoes in Sydney. The best option for affordable English shoes I have found so far is DJ's, which has a limited range of Loake's; most are on the 026 last in the Comfort range. When they are on sale they go for around $300. I found a pair which fit, and am now looking at the UK-based Herrings website, which has a bigger range of styles on various lasts. As well as the normal Loake models, the Herrings "Classic Collection" are made by Loake, and look OK; I'll report back when I have a pair. Depending on the exchange rate, they work out to about AUD$250, which is cheaper than most white pointy shoes from Aquila. Herringbone also stock rebadged Cheaney shoes.
