I've bought shoes in Korea before, but I don't know if my feet are growing or what is up because I am having more trouble finding good ones lately.

Where in Seoul can I get quality large sizes?

I'm looking at sizes 285-300, large yes, but not that large.

Most ABC Marts that I've seen carry up to 285. The Nike and Adidas stores in the Wangsimni mall area carry up to 295.

Alas, I wear 310. During a brief search through Itaewon I wasn't able to find anything above 305.

I wear a size 14 US (315 Korean) and the Merrel store in Itaewon had several styles in my size. Aren't they still there?

I ordered my husband some shoes from endless.com (which is tied in with Amazon, so you can use your same account) and they were the normal, US prices. Shipping cost $10 by courier (I think UPS.)

I wear a 14 4E and the Korean size is a 330 not 315. I think ABC mart might have what your looking for. The ones in Daegu tend to have up to 310's.

Itaewon Nike store had several pairs of 310s for me to choose from about a month ago. Some of the local shoe shops on Itaewon high street also stock big sizes, but they are very hit-and-miss in terms of selection. 285-300 should be no problem in ABC on Itaewon high street.

I bought a pair on GMarket for about $40. I just searched the shoes category for "300" and three or four sellers resulted. I've had them about a month, and they're actually quite comfortable and seem to be good quality..
