Where are the chaco sandals here
nothing else is acceptable to me.

I've got a pair of what they call "Unaweep." Awesome sandals -- easy on/off, easy on your feet, 7 summers of great service & counting. Theres really nothing can go wrong with them.

Local availability, sorry cant help. I bought mine on Boracay for $2. Buddy with an identical pair spent $90 in Canada.

There was one shop I spied some Chacos in Seoul. It's been a year since I left Korea but I'll give you the best directions I can in hopes that the shop is still there and still has Chacos.

It's in Jongno. If you're at the intersection where there's a Kumkang shoe store, Giordano, and Tapgal Park orient yourself so you're on the corner with Giordano and your back is to Kumkang. Walk for just a minute or so and there will be an outdoorsy shop on the right. That's it.

Otherwise, if you know your size, then just order them online and ship them to a friend or family member so they can repackage them and ship them to you as a "gift".

Best of luck.

* E Sierra is the store Climber 159 is referring to. There is a fellow there who is very helpful and speaks very decent English. It's not difficult to find. If you get to Cheonggyecheon, you've gone too far.
