 |
|
Anywhere in the Busan or Daegu area where I can get a good pair of jogging shoes (New Balance, Adidas). I'm size 11 (USA) and have wide feet. If not in Busan/Daegu anything in Seoul?
Thank ya |

I recently bought an excellent pair of "Runners" (joggers etc) shoes from the NEW Balance store at "New Balance" at Jamsil (Lotte world).
Cost was 140,000won.
They have size 11 there, but only in the very best shoes (140,000won) the cheaper shoes (60,000 ~ 100,000won only went up to size 10)
I know its not Daegu or Busan, but you can get them here in Seoul. |

Try any of the brand stores (New Balance, Adidas, Nike) in Itaewon.
I bought size 12(US) at the Nike store this past weekend. |

only problem is they likely dont have wide widths, i was there about a week ago and they didnt have us size 12 2e width, they had 12's. even had that problem at the nb and nike stores in itaewon
i wound up ordering online and having them sent to my folks place and they are sending them on in a way to get around customs. cant wait to get my 1235's as i'm doing the seoul int marathon in march |

| Do you think it is not really good for you to run that far in that kind of polluted environment (Seoul)? |

Are you aiming at a certain time to finish and how many marathons have you done?
Also is there a site where I can find where all the marathons (and triathlons) will take place in Korea in 2010 that you know of?
Thanks |
