Mighty Mouse Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Your foot size is a little smaller than mine. I guess we both have a giant grip on this Earth. When I was buying shoes in Bangers, I found my size in quite a few shoe shop specialists around the Pong area. These were the black business style of shoe. The last place I bought shoes was at Tony's Leather in Silom Road. (There are a few other shoe shops near his location.) They can make to measure but will need a few days to complete. Unfortunately their prices are not exactly cheap, and they don't sell pre-loved shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit the Dog Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 If you after a cheap pair of shoes try any of the large supermarkets like Tecco Lotus or Carrefour. They should have something in your size in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffy Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 hey Nu, Tough to find! Last year, I remember trawling thru MBK, Emporium, WTC, Pratunam & even KSR market but alas to no avail. I am a size 11 ( uk) but the highest they seem to go upto is 10. If you tell me what style you want, I'd be happy to pick something up for you from here in London & deliver when i am next in BKK in early March?

maerkus Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I have to go to check this Siam Bootery for business shoes, but how obout normal, 'leisure' shoes? Back home I used to use skate shoes when I just wanted something relaxing and comfortable enough. Also bit better running shoes would be great. I've been looking for shoes now over 2 months (not too actively though), and only place I've been able to find one pair of fitting shoes was in MBK, where I bought tennis shoes. My foot size is 46 (european, usually 11-12, us/uk) and I also suffer of flatfeetness. It is usually bit problematic to find decent shoes even from Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have something in your size in stock. I am perhaps a half size bigger than the OP and wide also. dont even bother with Tesco or carre four as I have tried them over and over and they just do not carry my size. they get close but fall short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 My foot size is 46 (european, usually 11-12, us/uk)Do you people with especially large shoe size also have a problem buying other items of apparel?

maerkus Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I visited yesterday in Ballet (1st floor of Amarin plaza?) near Chidlom BTS station. They finally had size 46 shoes, and lots of those. I bought 2 pairs of leather shoes for 1950/pair. They also make custom sizes, but price is of course higher then. This company makes also shoes for Thai & Nok Air crew, so one could expect some quality at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
