shoes

Hello Forum,
                  I'm struggling to find a place where I can buy some running shoes. I wear a 46,5 or, more comfortably, a 47. I haven't been able to find that size online or offline, and it appears that nobody in this city has a foot bigger than a 44. If anybody knows of a shoeshop please share that piece of information.

Regards,
             Your Truly

I bought a pair of Italian casual leather shoes for less than 400RMB at the shirt shop I go to.

I don't remember if they have runners though.

Have you also checked the Binhu Shopping Mall ?
3rd floor should be Adidas, Puma, etc.

Thanks for the tip. However, I do not know where the Binhua shopping mall. Can you please give its name in Chinese characters so that I can google it?

Regards,

Sorry but unable to do so.
Still sitting in Germany, One way ticket is scheduled for October.
But u can't miss it if your driving out to Binhua.
Maybe also Mike can help you on.

On Anqing Xi Lu there are stores that service police and special forces type officers. I bought some paramilitary style boots last winter which are very comfortable and warm but they might now have summer stock --maybe even runners. I am planning on dropping by myself to have a look. I had no problems with my size. The price also was fantastic for the quality & comfort -- approx 350 kuai -- a very reasonable price considering my frmer boots (D&S) cost 550 rmb. Not everyone likes high-cut boots but I recall they had some ultra-flexible paramilitary boots that are lightweight and sylish as well.

Bear in mind I was went to every shoe store in Wuhan and Hefei for two years and found nothing I would put on my feet. I persisted with ten year old Rossi boots until they finally gave up the ghost. They were amazing as the upper boot aged gracefully but the air-cushion soles finally got punctured & separated. Finally I found Dragon and Sea (D&S) brand on the 5th floor above Parksons -- there are many shoes there so maybe that is worth a look. You might also check out Metro, just off Huizhou Dadao.

Aside from that, grow hooves and visit a farrier or opt for stilts.

On the ground floor of Century Mart next to the main gate of Xinghua park there is a shoe shop (called Camel I think).

I have found pretty good leather shoes there that I would normally buy back home (leather trail boots and shoes, and casual leather shoes etc.) in big sizes. My klopper is about 12 US.

No runners though.
