"Tailored" shoes

Just curious ...

I'll be in Thailand next week, and walking around on feet that are particularly difficult to fit - I was once told that my correct shoe size is 10H (i.e., w--i--d--e). Is there any place one might get hand made "tailored" shoes?

generally leather is not a thai speciality, but there are a couple of custom made shoe shops in bkk....two that i know of are on sukhumvit rd very close to the nana skytrain shop and not far from soi 4...just walk along sukhumvit on the even numbered soi side and you will see them....

you might also find something in some of the upscale malls, like gaysorn, or certainly they would direct you

There's a shop at the front of soi 11. Could try them out.

Bob and others - I passed a custom-made shoe place in the shopping plaza across from the Marriott Resort...has anyone looked into that one? (We did not)

rhkkmk,

Thank you. We'll be staying at the Shangro-La so the Nana BTS stop seems pretty accessible. I'll give it a try. Can you recommend a good restaurant in the area?

Also, does anyone know anything about cost or time to produce.

Again, thanks.
