I usually wear Asics or New Balance, and would very much appreciate any guidance on where to find size 310 (or possibly larger).

Thank you!

I've seen 300+ sizes at Asics shops, so that would be your best bet.

Never had much luck at New Balance shops with larger sizes here.

Good freaking luck! I spent many days searching for some shoes in my size. I wear a 300. It was damn near impossible to find anything. I once found a pair in my size, but they were the most god awful, ugliest shoes I have ever seen in my life. I went to ebay!

www.shoebuy.com

They have international shipping for $30 and then you can just order what you want. I just ordered a pair of running shoes and had them sent directly to Korea and the total bill was $87. It generally costs around 100,000 won for large sized shoes in Korea and then you're stuck choosing from the 3-4 pairs they have in your size. I have started to order a lot more things online and just sending them over, it is often cheaper and even when it's not cheaper you end up getting what you want for the same price as paying extra in Korea for no selection whatsoever. For exampe...at drugstore.com you can buy deodorant for $2.25 that would cost you 8,000 won or more in Korea, so if you order 10 and pay for shipping you save some money and don't have to waste a day hunting for deodorant.

Especially with the current economic issues a lot of online retailers in the US are offering incredible deals on their goods.

When I go to international.drugstore.com it doesn't list Korea as a country it ships to. How do you get them to ship here?
