Does anyone know where to buy 290 or bigger size hiking boots/shoes. I tired most of the shops around Dobongsan yesterday but only 2 shops had a size 290 and only available in one ugly style. Any suggestions

I once bought a pair of Scarpa hiking boots (size 320) at a shop near an entrance of Bukhansan National Park. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it was a Red Face shop. This particular spot a got to by taking the subway to Gupabal station and then a bus to Bukhansan. Really, once you go out of the station all you have to do is follow the stream of hikers looking like they're on their way to Everest.

I got a pair of 290 in e-mart yeongsan.

Probably not what you want, but I was hoping to be able to plug www.shoebuy.com on here someday. I use my Korean credit card to pay -easy as pie and I have been super, super happy with their service. I have been buying extra-wide shoes for my husband who has duck-feet, and can't find anything near wide enough in Korea. We always search the net for discount codes, so buying on sale with a 10-45% discount on top of that means that even with international shipping we can usually get 2 pairs of shoes for under $100. And my favorite part - they don't include the original price or the shipping fee on the invoice, so it gets through customs easy breezy. <3 Shoebuy!
