Shoes for large feet
Posted: Sat October 14, 2006 02:14 PM UTC

Hello Once More

I have one more question and would really appreciate some answers.

We will be in Kuala Lumpur from 26th November -1st December. Planning on doing sight seeing and lots of shopping, plus lots of eating!!

My mum and I have quite large feet, and I was wondering if we would have any trouble buying shoes in KL for large feet. If that is the case, are there any stores that would sell shoes for large feet?

Thankyou once again. I have found this forum very useful and helpful. I really appreciate all the help given.

It may be a problem in the smaller, family run stores. You'd be better off going to the larger, international companies that flourish in KL's larger malls. Most of the stores in the city centre will have larger sizes bt these shops (owing to higher rental costs) are more expensive.

I large feet and was always in tears trying to find shoes to wear not to mention nice shoes! Malaysia is terrible for special size - shoes, bras or clothes! Of course you can get tailors and shoemakers - thank God! to tailor make your stuff.

Shoes for men are available even up to size 46 (if I remember correctly) however it is hard to get shoes beyond size 7 or 8 for women. And they are very narrow!

Possibilities: Mark and Spencers, Debenhamn and Princess Shoe Shop in Jalan Tuanku Rahman (infront of Sogo Complex.

Good luck!
