Dream Pairs is a New Jersey footwear company that says it started in 2009 with a simple idea: fashionable shoes for women and children that don't cost much. It has since added two sister labels, Bruno Marc for men's smart shoes and Chelsea boots, and Nortiv 8 for hiking, work and water shoes. All three have UK websites with prices in pounds, and they share one account and rewards scheme. It suits anyone after a pair of seasonal boots or everyday trainers at high-street prices or below, and families buying school-run and playground shoes.

What's worth a look

• Classic Comfy Square-Toe Mid-Calf Cowboy Boots, currently £39.16. A tan western-style boot with a square toe and a block heel, one of several cowboy styles in the women's range this autumn. There's also a wide-calf embroidered version.
• Women's Lightweight Waterproof Hiking Boots, currently £56.96. A Nortiv 8 design sold on the Dream Pairs site, in a taupe colourway, for country walks and muddy weekends.
• Men's Mid Top Chukka Sneaker Boot, currently £48.06. A casual lace-up that sits between a trainer and a boot, handy for anyone who wants something a bit sturdier for autumn without going full walking boot.
• Kids' Lightweight Running Sneakers, currently £32.93. A light, colourful trainer from the children's line, described as kick-resistant, which matters for anyone who's watched a new pair get scuffed in a week.
• Bruno Marc Men's Suede Chelsea Boots, currently £39.20. A slip-on navy suede Chelsea boot from the men's sister brand, which also sells brogues, Oxfords and smart trainers.

How to save more

• Sign up before you buy anything. Membership is free and also covers Bruno Marc and Nortiv 8, so the same account earns points across all three UK sites.
• Keep an eye on the delivery threshold. Two pairs will usually take you past £62.30, which saves the £7.12 delivery charge.
• Points expire at the end of each calendar year, so redeem them once you reach 100 points rather than letting them lapse.

UK orders are estimated to arrive in three to seven working days. Prices on the UK sites are converted from US pricing, which is why many end in odd amounts such as £39.16, and members see slightly lower member prices on some styles once logged in. Wide-fit options are listed on all three sites if standard widths don't suit you.
