				In public school you have to exchange your shoes for sandals upon entering.

				| sometimes you must remove shoes, sometimes not. I've noticed it (removing shoes) more at kindergartens. but i think it just depends on the school and how it is set up. |

				| sometimes.  might bring a comfortable pair of warm slippers for the winter if you're coming in.  if you ask the recruiter to ask your school, you may, or may not get a straight answer as to how your school functions. |

Can't you just wear shoes you only put on indoors? If so, you can probably find some shoes that fit you in Seoul, or on the Internet. |
