poanoi Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) alright, so where we left off, i had wasted money on aliexpress size 44/10.5, my default size in scandinavia, that didnt fit, and ordered a new pair 46/12, which, just came today and which also turned out to be too small. next up is a pair 12.5/13, and i suspect they will fit snugly, so my recommendation for those longing for grown up adult male shoes is, order at a bare minimum 3 sizes above and it should be a good fit Edited June 23, 2018 by poanoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even purchase shoes from there. I think you need some help to find the required shoes you need. I suspect your main issue is price as why would you be buying dud shoes twice and be considering a 3rd attempt? Your info is also really weak, post some proof that it is not just you ordering incorrectly or even the link to the product page on aliex. Your argument has already been refuted, large size shoes are obtainable here and unless I'm mistaken aliex is driven by gutter pricing and this seems to be the actual driver not your apparent issue.

Online in some cases so let's just scratch this "back ache argument" show me the shoes or style of shoes you are seeking and confirm the size and I'll find something online. So the next issue is payment? I'm thinking you order through lazada.co.th and pay on delivery and if there not the correct size you do not pay. I will even go through the reviews and make sure they are not fake but verified purchases but seriously you gotta sack this silly aliexpress buying if you have two duds already. You are clearly not very adept at shopping or online stuff so accept some help and try a different approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are clearly not very adept at shopping or online stuff so accept some help and try a different approach. this was my 1st choice, and any choice i make will be in this style. according to it, i am size 44, and according to it, it adhere to eu size standard, and according to myself, i'm size 47 /13 according to aliexpress standard https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Height-Increasing-Spring-Autumn-New-Split-Leather-Shoes-For-Men-Lace-up-Waterproof-Causal-Footwear-Anti/32860903568.html for returning goods, not only is it entirely alien according to my standard, but the back pain i gain from that struggle is enough to rather chose a 3k baht hit to my economy, pain will always take priority in any occasion on any occasion, i had all the pain i ever needed already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2702 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Ok a few questions for clarity please. The height increase shoes on Aliex Are they height increase due to the thick sole only or do they have an insole increase also? Size 44 Europe is your regular size in regular shops in Europe. So that would be a size 9.5/10 in UK? Here is the shoe you showed in link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2702 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I checkled lazada using english search term: Mens waterproof shoes. Here's some images of the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2702 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Lazada shoe sizes are EU. Thry have size 44 in many stores on there. They also have a C.O.D option on items but you need to check each listings terms to ensure thry have this. I have purchased shoes from lazada and the size was as expected. I think your near khon kaen if not mistaken. If so the fairy plaza has a few very similar styles of shoe too and it's on 1st floor. Here's an image I took of a shoe today that was there. Various colours available but maybe size issue is more difficult in retail stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2702 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Found these on lazada but only size 10.5 uk available. Different style but height increase. Thry also sell the height increase soles on lazada for 200 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poanoi Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) yes, it had an insole, i took it out but those shoes are several numbers too small, i require a bare minimum of 13. the 2nd pair you showed, the first pair in black after my pair is exactly what i want, but the sizes here in pygmy land is not the size we think of in north europe. i live in pattaya, and i suspect there is no reason to believe sizes in lazada is any different to sizes in aliexpress, and if there are differences, then i would just start over in narrowing it down where i am in relation to lazada prizes, should i start over with lazada. now i have pinpointed what size i am in relation to aliexpress, i'm 13+, changing biz partner now is pissing away what info i have gathered, and the cost that incurred. the last pair of shoes is not what i look for. i will switch over to lazada if i cant find any 13+ shoes on aliexpress that fit, IF lazada happen to have 13+ sizes that is, otherwise i'l be stuck here in pygmy-land with nothing but flip flops until i'm dead or can get outa here Edited June 23, 2018 by poanoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 3rd time lucky approach will be 7500 spent on 3 pairs of shoes, two of which definitely do not fit and your hoping the 3rd pair will. If the black pair for 896 baht arrive and you order on a C.O.D basis. And they are not correct size. Don't pay. Loss on lazada.co.th. - 0 Loss on aliexpress 5000 baht. Good plan. I did mention I purchased a pair through lazada.co.th and all was good. They were branded though so maybe that's why I had no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT FITZGERSLD Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 aliexpress , like many other web sites and even shoe shops in bangkok and other countries, are CHEATING ON SHOE SIZES !!! I have my room filled with shoes cause they were not the right size. in the begining i thought i got it wrong, than i realised it is keep on happaning - i but shoes in one size and they are not the right size !! when i try them in the shop they feel right, but later i discover they are too small or too tight, just a bit too small than usual, but it;s enought to destroy the shoe ! someone explained to me that the fault is on chinese shoe factories, who cheat on the sizes, just a but, to save material and manufacturing costs.

When I lived in bkk I used to see a couple of factories making them in Udon suk. When I say factories I mean one man in a shop house hand making them. The company had a lotof Master shoe makers contracting for them. Very comfortable and very well made. https://www.google.co.th/search?q=just+height+shoes+thailand&client=ms-android-samsung&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjVnZedg8jbAhUCVH0KHXTmC8kQ_AUIESgB&biw=360&bih=560&gfe_rd=mr#gfe_rd=mr&imgrc=hupLJ_wVRmF2uM: Name is Just in case shoes Price not much more than the shoes you purchased on aliexpress. Thanks for the recommendation, I will take a look as I live down that way. I would add a slice of 'caveat emptor' on this type of thing, based on previous experiences with Thai shoemakers and tailors ('Thai' as opposed to the Sukhumvit tourist focused shops). After trying out a few places, with some mixed results, I have finally found a trusted Thai tailor, who does a very good job on suits & shirts for about 1/2 price of the Sukhumvit shops. I gave up on the tailor made shoes after a couple of disappointing efforts which were poor in fitting and quality. I am a 45/UK 11, so I occasionally buy from department stores here, which is expensive, but generally try to stock up on my annual trip back to the UK/Europe.
