I need a new pair with built up sides as I over-pronate. So I need a specialised store and someone who speaks English.
I am heading to Seoul tomorrow...anyone know of any good place for this??

For over-pronation look no further than New Balance. There's a store in Itaewon but I can't vouch that the owners know anything about technical walking issues.

Any motion control show by New Balance will fix up any knee pain associated with the over-pronation.

If you weren't so concerned with a 'healthy' shoe I would just suggest the ABC mart in Myungdong. Lot's of variety there but pretty sure you won't get any help regarding over-pronation.
