My sandals have recently fallen apart, and I'm panicking because it seems like the major retail stores in Seoul are displaying fall/winter footwear.

I'll be leaving for a backpacking trip - where can I buy a pair of sturdy sandals?????

I've already checked a few hiking stores in Namdaemun - no luck.

Sometimes you can't get exactly what you want. I know the feelingI say go for something else in the mean time and buy what you want online for any future backpacking trips!


Good luck!

I once saw Chaco sandals at an outdoor gear shop in Jongno. I don't recall the name of the shop, but if you're at the intersection with Giordano and KumKang situate yourself so that you are at the corner where Giordano is and have your back turned to KumKang. Start walking; soon you'll find an outdoor gear shop on your right. That's it.

thank you for the excellent directions. I went there today - no shoes - but found the perfect sling bag for my trip.

Thank you all!

I responded to your thread in buy/sell/trade and sent you a pm. I also have a thread in b/s/t. Get back to me if you're still looking.
