Big Feet, Big Pain....

Does anyone know who has a decent selection of Size12(UK)/13(US) running shoes. I have searched City Centre to no avail. Would rather not go down the road of buying online.

Any suggestion?

Hi - my husband wears size 15 (US) and can usually find some on clearance at Sports Corner in City Center. He's found 13s there before for friends as well.

I know, I mean I'm not skinny...I'm not fat either. Here, I wear a what would be a HUGE size in the States. So, I feel like a fatass here.

Seal- come on...go to the Corniche and pimp the KSwiss shoes! That's so funny. Don't think I'd like my husband wearing those. The shoes we were able to find for him are mostly flip-flops and I think only one pair of boots.

"Why is it that clothes & shoes here run so small??" I find that strange too. Especially with the large percentage of obese locals. Nowhere close to the USofA, but looks like they're on their way.

Cheers for the info, I'll head down after work tonight to Sports Corner. Tried Landmark, the only pair of 12(UK)/13(US) in the whole mall(Tried M&S and the place beside Megamart) were a pair of "glowing" white K-Swiss (More 50-cent than 5km....,) I might buy them, and go strutting down the corniche.

Cheers,

Seal

I have been able to find shoes for my husband at Landmark in the big shoe store next to Megamart as well as Marks & Spencer. Also, that store Next that is in the Mall and in City Center. He is US size 12-13 so it's very hard to find shoes for him.

Why is it that clothes & shoes here run so small?? I mean buying clothes that fit means buying EXPENSIVE crap.
