thinking about taking 2/3 pairs of shoes, but thats a lot of prime time real estate in the suitcase.

They have waffle tour with Vans bus that sets up cooking station and gives out waffles in the shape of sneaker and a coffee.

I got a waffle and a coffee and a pack of Vans stickers outside iPark Mall @ Yongsan.

They had a sale @ iPark Mall and they were cheap.

ABC-Mart, the big yellow shoe store.

They're all over the place but there's a big one in Myeong-dong.

Couple of shops in Hongdae that sell vans. You should be ok for size, anything bigger than 10 US and it becomes a little more difficult

Actually, I just order my Vans off of G-Market. If you are a size US 10, then a 280 would be your size.

In fact, I just ordered a pair of True White Vans Eras in size 280 about 10 minutes ago. The total (including shipping) was 25,500 won.

Good luck!

There is a Vans store in Hyewha. It's the first store in Korea (at least according to the advertisement).

I haven't looked at prices, so can't help you there, but it is in the main mall of Hyewha.

I don't know the Subway exit as its 'just the one i use' but if you come out of any subway exit and look for Pizza Hut/Mr Pizza/Bennigans, the mall is on the OTHER side of the street (in between a Baskin Robbins cafe and the Doc Martins store)

Hyehwa Station, exit 4, walk left. On the left around the CGV cimema.

there you go. Much more succint. :p

ABC Marts are all over the place and it seems that they have more Vans on display than anything else. They also never seem to have my (very average) size in anything that I like (ie...all of the Old Skool collection, especially the checkered mid-tops) lol.

I saw a bunch at some of the shops at COEX mall
