I've been searching the web trying to find my US shoe size in korean. I wear a size 16 in the US. What exactly is that in Korean shoe sizes?

And where, besides Itaewon, can I get shoes? I've looked at gmarket and those shores are more than reasonable I just dont think Im squeezing into a size 280 which I'm thinking is a 10?

Your size would be about 350. Dress shoes can be custom-made. For runners you might just have to order on-line and have them shipped internationally.

I'd say you're around 340. I'm NA size 15 and 330 in Korea. Size 14 tends to be 320 and 13, 310. Go to Itaewon. It's your only hope. I've tried online, and had Koreans try for me, and the biggest we've come up with is 320.
