1Lucky Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I need to get some new shoes for business. I usually wear traditional black leather City of London type brogues. Does anyone know where I can find these in Bangkok? I'd like good quality but not too extortionate a price (about GBP 100 would be about right)? If you can't actually buy them from shops are there any good places who would actually make them to measure for you? Any suggestions much appreciated.

lanny Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Try Tony Leather on Surawong, more or less opposite Jim Thompson. I've had them make several pairs of shoes for me and I still have the first pair they made about 10 years ago. Not necessarily cheap but about what you would expect to pay for regular shoes.

polecat Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'm sure you will be able to find someting good in the department stores. I've always managed to find good quality footwear at Paragon, Central et al. (I'm a size 10.5 UK, btw, and have few problems). 6000 baht should get you something good, especially if you time it right with the sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlBkk Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 2nd floor of Central World has Aldo and a shop selling Churches. If you want to look like an anus, go for Churches. If you want to look trendy, go for Aldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tips - I managed to find Aldo but prefer the 'anus' look to the 'c*ck' look - where abouts is the shop selling Churches - I couldn't find it anywhere.

Digger Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 The Marks and spencer branch in Central Chidlom also sells mens shoes. ALDO is good but they are a more mordern younger styling for mens shoes. There is also a branch of NEXT on the 3rd floor of Central World including mens gear but its expensive.
