I've travelled through Sadang a couple times and saw a bunch of shops that seemed to be selling women type stuff. Now sure on sizes though.

What is a "bigger" shoe size? The biggest shoe size you will find easily in Korea is 250mm, which is an 8. It's near impossible to find anything bigger, unless you go to Itaewon (so I've heard). Luckily I wear 250...sometimes go overboard buying 10,000 won shoes.

Express Bus Terminal is a good place for cheap shoe shopping.

250 is bigger than an 8. I usually buy a 245, and I'm between an 8 and 8.5. But it depends on the shoe.

I second the Express Bus station. I don't live in Seoul, but when I do get up there I always make sure to check out the stuff underneath Central City. I got a couple of cute belts for 8,000, a shirt for 5,000 and these really great, comfy, cute black flats for 10,000. Was being tempted by the trench coats too.

i take about a 260. last year i was able to find decent enough looking flats in itaewon in my size, but lately i'm just finding really hideous ones. i need a new place to try!

thanks for the help, i'll try itaewon again this weekend and probably the bus terminal station
