Does anyone know of a Quicksilver or Mambo shop in Korea (going to be travelling around the country in 2 weeks time so Busan etc.. is OK) Or one in Seoul?
Same goes for any dept. store with a little area of stuff, im wanting a good pair of Thongs (flip flops) all the ones i have seen on markets etc just dont look like they would be very comfortable.

So any help would be awesome

Cheers

There is a small Quicksilver store in the 2001 Outlet at the Migeum Station.

Edit. However, I don't think they have any flip flops at this location.

if you're in seoul, you should go to the ABC marts in gangnam, coex, yongsan, myeongdong for flipflops. many brands like reef, vans etc. are carried there.

Aekyoung in Guro and Hyundai in Mok-dong department stores have Quicksilver kiosks, but I've never noticed flip flops/sandals/footwear. There are lots of brand name shoe shops around Dongdaemun Stadium that carry lots of sandals. Itaewon, too. Isn't their a Quicksilver in Itaewon?

there was one in itaewon close to subway. not the subway, but subway subway

Yeah, there's a section in Shinchon's Hyundae Dept. Store, too, but I can't say for sure about the flip-flops there either.

I will second the ABC Shoes recommendation, though. They've got heaps of what seem to be the popular brands at home for those things. I just wish they had the pair of Reefs that my brother got back home, with a bottle opener embedded in the sole's heel. Perfect for camping- just pull the thing off your foot and open a beer with it.

the nearest quiksilver SHOP to busan is fukuoka....

I have been there a couple of times and they have the same quality stuff you would find back in Australia. At surprisingly good prices as well. like 20 000 won T-shirts, 40-50 000 for good jumpers.
