By lovinni

its hard for me to find size 5 or size 35 shoes. most of my shoes i bring them from my country. but i cant do it all the time.  can anyone tell me a shoe shop here in Doha for small feet? but please dont tell me to find them in children's section!

Been to shoemart and Brantanno Landmark but the size 5 they have is Continental Size 38.  My size is Continental 35 and the smallest they have is Continental 36!

 

Yet got a new pair today from my country! yipee! good thing my brother is going on vacation a couple of weeks from now, so more shoes in his baggage!

I juse size 15 US so it means i'm kinda 50-51....guess i'll be in trouble in Doha upon arrival....one solution try casualmalexl.com or zappos.com...there they have plus sizes and maybe you find what you are looking for....guess it's a way out....

well i hope this thread calls attention to all shoe shops, since various expats are here, i hope they can cater our respective needs.

 

there are really times that i need a new pair and cant wait for somebody to bring one from my country...this is how i feel now...

You just have to be patient....look around a LOT....and supplement your shopping with stuff from when you go back home.

 

At least that's what my wife does....hope that helps.

 

Stay safe.

and she isn't complaining just for the sake of it...I have been with her when she tries on clothes, and the LARGEST sizes they have look like they are made for midgets! LOL

 

Stay safe all.

I'm sure you get 35 shoes in New World Center, Souq Nabina. Call them and confirm before going there.

Pah! Size 45 Darude - you have tiny feet! I'm a UK size 13 (european 47). It sucks trying to find shoes that size.

oh KE it doesnt look and feel comfortable walking in shoes not your size... shoes would mostly expand than shrink.

 

mila i hope you can find one for me...i need to get rid some old shoes and of course a replacement!

section? Is it the one that .. buy one shoe and get a free RC car?

Well, lovinni ... get one that would be close to that ... let's say ... 36 or 37 .. wash it and keep it under the sun for a week ... it might shrink and be 35 ... got no idea why is it hard here to find some stuff ...
