MJCM Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 A long time ago I had some shoes custom made in a shop on the corner of South Pattaya road and 2nd Road. Does any one know if that shop is still there and if they still make custom made shoes? Or any other shop that makes custom made shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought 2 pairs of shoes with me from the UK, they are still like new, and I reckon about 35 years old...☺️ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't have any shoes, as I haven't worn them for over 9 years. Here I only wear flip flops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropposurfer Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Its not in Pattaya but opposite side of Sukhumvit Road to T21 ... just a short ways down Sukhumvit Road ... after you walk down the BTS steps to the roadway from BTS station there's a shoe maker. I had shoes made by Siam Bootery but they moved somewhere else years back (they were just a few doors along on the same side of Sukhumvit Road). This other shoe-shop a little ways further along Suk Rd seemed to have some crazy, but also some nice looking shoes, similar to the pic you posted. Siam Bootery made me some really goods hard soled moccasins in lizard skins .. very nice ... I still wear them.
