Yes, I found my size Nikes at the Nike Store in New Core in Ilsan (Madu subway station area). The two Korean ladies who worked there seemed THRILLED to get rid of the sneakers they thought would only fit BIG FOOT. 
I just wanted to pass along this info in case anyone else has problems finding shoes in their size. Try the Nike store at New Core in a New Core near you.
BTW, yes, I have tried in Itaewon, and haven't found my size there. |

They had three pairs and I bought 2 of them.
There are New Core's all over the Seoul area. Do you need specific directions to the one in Madu? |

| if youre that hard-up for them, you can just order them from the US. Ive gotten clothes that way from LLBEAN, and I see on their website JCPENNY also ships overseas. after a few months you have to pay some sort of import fee, but the price of shoes and clothes that are both with the times and fit properly?...... priceless! |

I don't know for 100% certain that ALL New Core's will have them, but at least there's a possibility.
Madu subway station is 313 on the orange line. The New Core is less than a block walk after you exit out exit 6 (you walk towards La Festa). It's the huge building on the corner.

A silly question, somewhat on/off topic.
What is the common foot size in Korea? I mean from a western standpoint something along the line of 7-9 (men) 6-8 (women)
Another silly/stupid comment for the op or those with similar sized feet - why not simply order your footwear online or have someone back home send you your size? - I realize that most would like to try on the shoe before buying as shoe size tends to vary from shoe manufacture to shoe manufacture (at least this is how it is for me) |
