Hello, I'm looking for a good shoestore in Seoul that sells quality stuff. I'm looking for a pair of nice black shoes. I'll be honest with you, I'm hopeless when it comes to knowing if shoes are good or not. I wouldn't be able to tell if they'd last six weeks or six months, so your input would be appreciated.

I'm also looking for a Costco locations around central Seoul. Where are those bad boys?

Thank you.

Shoes I can't really help you with, but there's 3 costco's in Seoul. One in Yongdungpo area, one in Yangjae, and one near Sangbong subway station. There are maps on Costco's website, but they're semi useless.

Don't know if this helps anyone, but I take the 11-3 bus to Costco in Yangjye (spelling?)

If all else fails, you can try Hannam Supermarket. Lots of their stuff is bought at costco and then marked up a bit.

I dont know about yur idea about just showing up. Membership is not expensive, and perhaps you can share it with a friend.

Do u have anyone at home who can send you a card? My son in New York gave me a card, he just asked them for an extra card with my name. I always use it.
