You know what they say about people with big feet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
There are some branded shoe stores in Nanjing around XinJieKou,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but honestly your big freak feet are probably out of luck. I wear an American size 10,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I have only once found a pair of shoes in China that was worth keeping. I would suggest you do one or several of the following:
1.) Go to Shanghai and look in the biggest most expensive malls you can find for the off chance they can help you out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Yao Ming used to play basketball there so there has to be something, right?
2.) Have some shoes custom made,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are places in Nanjing around Shanxi Lu that can do this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and plenty of cobblers in Shanghai.
3.) Get some shoes mailed to you from your home country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or order them via Amazon.
Good luck,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].

You could try Silk Street in Beijing. I have them made for me, or sent from Canada. Although a good pair of business shoes will run me about $200 custom-made,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they're worth it. I assume the same thing would be a lot cheaper in China.

Thanks for the advice. I was hoping somebody had actually purchased a pair of shoes close to my size somewhere in China. For the record, no shoe stores in any of the major shopping areas in Nanjing (Xinjeikou,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Fuzi Miao, Hunan Lu, etc.) have men's sneakers larger than 44 or 45. Silk Street in Beijing might be a good option,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I checked out a bunch of foreigner-aimed shops in Yangshuo to no avail; Beijing might well be different,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I met an Australian who searched all over Beijing and couldn't find anything big enough. Looks like I'll probably have to go with shoes that are custom made or shipped from home.

Some of the stores near Silk Street may also have the shoes you need. There's always Wangfujing too,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].

I just bought a pair of size 47 genuine Merrells for CNY600 from a shop just round the corner from me in Beijing (Gulou Dongdajie). They and another similar outdoor goods shop had a few different styles to choose from in those sizes, and one or two larger.

bokane also suggests buying online from Taobao. If you are coming to Beijing soon and want detailed directions to the shop I used MeMail me - I work from home and will happily pop out and show you where it is if necessary (back streets by the Drum Tower) in possibly Asia's first ever shoe-shop mini MeFi meet.相关的主题文章:
