Let's go the mall!

The first thing I will shop for when I arrive in Hamburg is a good pair of top quality walking shoes, which I hope to find at a bargain price. Any suggestions as to where I should go?
Someone asked about bargain outlets two years ago and was told that they don't have these places in Hamburg, but hopefully there are bargain stores/malls today.
Also, where are the best places to shop for women's fashion clothes at rock bottom prices?
Germany isn't the place for shopping at rock bottom prices. Never been. And Hamburg as probably the most stylish city in Germany even less. For that you have to go to Poland, Czech Republic etc. but most brand clothing you will buy there at "rock bottom prices" is counterfeit.
Hopefully there are places where I can get German made products for much less than we pay for them here in Canada. For example, I would like to buy Werner Kern dance shoes, which are really expensive here.

Hans Hummel has been a famous watercarrier in times, when not everybody had fresh tap water. So this was about 100 years ago. Children used to chase him and they yelled: "Hummel! Hummel! He got angry and shouted back: "Mors! Mors! (a..!). That is how people say the wellknown Hamburgian shout: "Hummel Hummel Mors Mors!" started.
Today the "Hummel-Mann" can be seen all over Hamburg as colorfull statues.
When you leave the Underground station U3 Feldstraße you'll see a big bunker from World War II on the right. There are some cultural offices in there nowadays. Right across you'll find the "Altes Schlachthaus" - an old slaughtery house which also houses cultural uses as for example the music bar "Knust" (www.knusthamburg.de). The new building houses some music rooms, labels etc. If you cross the street at U Feldstraße and pass by the "Alte Schlachhaus" you will reach the Marktstraße - a small street with some very cool shops for fashion, accessoires, design, etc.
To get an impression some links to some of the stores:
Sisterhood, Laeiszstraße15 (corner Marktstraße, at the very beginning) - fashion, shoes, accessoires (did not find a website);
www.maegdeundknechte.de - fashion and design, t-shirts, underwear, etc.;
www.andreaslinzner.com - soft toys from frottier, cool retro look;
www.druckdealer.de - t-shirts, accessoirs, books, comics, prints, etc.;
and many others to have a look at;-)
I got to Hamburg by the cheaper but longer Regionalzug from Hannover. A return was €42.
In the morning, I got the train from Hamburg to Copenhagen. The train is run by Danish rail and you must reserve a seat & pay both german and danish international supplements. When you get to Puttgarten (i took a pic of the German coast from here), the train loads on to a Ferry to take you across to Roedby. You do not have to pay extra for this, it's included in the ticket. It's faster to do this rather than going up through Jutland & Island hopping. There is no passport control on the boat.
right beside the famous MICHEL (MIchaelischurch) you find a little part of ancient Hamburg that will give you an idea of how living conditions were like 350 yrs. back. There's also a Restaurant with local Food, but to visit the house of the widows is more exiting!
When most people think of the "Rathaus" (cityhall) they think of the one near Jungfernstieg/Mönckeburgstrasse but that isnt the only one there is. Different Stadtteile in Hamburg have their own Rathaüser and one of the prettiest is the Harburger Rathaus.
The Harburger Rathaus was built in 1889 by Christoph Hehl.
