farangteachercliche Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hi I am a 6ft tall foreign woman currently working in Thailand. I have UK size 7/8 (european 40/42) feet (boats!) and i have found it near impossible to buy shoes (other than flip flops!) I desperately need some new shoes for work (ie formal shoes.) Does anyone know of anywhere that caters for larger sized womens shoes?? thank u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Sorry, I am in the same boat. All I can suggest you do is go to Asok and have some made to measure. I've done this and while it isn't cheap you can choose style, material, heel height etc. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Admittedly I don't buy women's shoes but my general experience has been that larger sizes are found up north for some odd reason. I have size 13 feet and never had a problem getting shoes in Chiang Mai. Phuket, Bangkok, etc, no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopgurl Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Try having a look at Central World, they're several shoe shops that should have those sizes. Charles & Keith is one of my favs, they have some larger sizes as well. If that doesn't work out, try going to Ballet, across the street from Central World, I think it's on the 1st floor of Naraipan building. They do custom made shoes that aren't too expensive and they're comfortable too. (from past experience) Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seonai Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I have the same probs!!!! I had some lovely leather pumps made in an Indian tailors near Khao San Road , two pairs, lovely!!!!!

chatette Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 There's a shop on the first floor of the CMC Tower (main building) at All Seasons Place on Wireless (same compound as Conrad Hotel) that has smart casual shoes of that size. I got 41s there the other day. I also got a nice pair of sandals and crocs in the sports shoe section of Robinson at Rachada. Central also has larger sizes in particular brands at most branches. I've also bought Ferragamos and Echo brand shoes in Bangkok. You just need to look around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 For the made to measure I use Siam Bootery they are just downstairs from Asoke BTS. The front window is mainly taken up with adverts for dry cleaning and the sign is in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seonai Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 HI Meme!!!! Well this was some years back...... if you come out of Khao San Road at the end with the Police Station and look at the temple across the road I think it was on the left at the small entrance road to the temple. They do clothes too. It really was professional, I was working for UNICEF at the time and got into trouble for wearing sandals!!!!! The other option is to look for the shops where the lady boys buy their shoes!!!!!!! xx Seonai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BambinA Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 So asking for a LB place is not an insult, ok? Whatever, I dont like the way people call any post- transwoman as a LB. It is quite different. However, Charles & Keith has big shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissAnge Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 You could try Clarks at Central World. At the moment they have a table with shoes that are BIG SIZES for 1000baht.... I think it's on the same level as NEXT, a few stores to the right of it (either that or in the same place but a floor below!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
