Where to buy shoes for giants?

**Rastaman** · 01-09-2009, 11:35 AM

I have a big problem, literally. I've got big, huge, enormous feet. Ok, not that big, really. They're size 13. I've scoured the metro for even just a pair, no dice. I'm looking for shoes that I can wear to the office. So these would border between dress to casual leather shoes. Do you know where I can snatch good finds, hopefully within MM?

TIA.

PS: You know what they say about guys with big feet....

....They have big shoes.

have them custom made at the marikina shoe expo in cubao, qc for a better fit and a design of your own

i think Besa's (there a branch located in the basement of Shangri-La Plaza Mall) can make custom shoes for you

Cubao X

Marikina for sure.

i think Besa's

I'm seriously considering going to Besa's. If I don't have a new pair soon, I might go to Besa's. I frequent their store @ Shang, but have only gotten as far as asking for a quotation. Pretty steep. Here are a few stores (with big sizes) I recommend, for people in the same predicament:

Shoe Salon
Linea Italia
People are People
Kenneth Cole

Sadly, these stores seem to have run out of shoes for my size.

But seriously, I also suggest Besa's.

linea always has huge shoes on sale - nobody buys them kasi.

if you have relatives in the states, try looking for someone who lives in a city with big NBA/NFL franchises - the local shoe/apparel retailers usually stock up on big sizes for the players.

marikina makes beautiful shoes - i recently bought what i thought was an awesome pair of boots at zara, but when i saw my officemate's marikina version, i seriously hit by a case of deep shoe envy.

@mousehole,

I tried ordering from the US a couple of times, as well. OK naman, so far, yung mga nabili ko. I stuck to the safe, branded choices, para less regrets. I got a pair ordered from NJ, and another from TX about a year ago. Too bad I don't know of anyone going to the US soon, that's why I'm back to looking around MM.

I've been going back to Linea for the last 3 months, especially last month, when they had a huge sale. Unfortunately, most of the styles do not match my taste.

I'll try Marikina Shoe Expo next month.
