I wear a US 13 wide and 14 mens shoe. In your opinion, what is the best place to buy large shoe sizes in Taipei or Taoyuan?
There are some resellers on Shopee that focus on larger shoe sizes.

I only know the second best place.
If gym shoes I roam around areas with lots of shoes stores like gangguan until one has my size.
Shopping centers like mitsukoshi sometimes have larger sizes but cost more.
You can normally order special sizes through the department stores in Taipei and pick them up when they arrive or have them delivered to your home. I often have to do this for the opposite problem - teeny tiny feet.
Is there a particular brand you prefer?
Thank you for opinions everyone. I have had no luck thus far. It is okay though 
Hi everyone! Any updates to the advice in this thread? Where can I get large menâs running shoes (any sports shoe)? Socks, too? New to Taipei.
Weâre (thankfully!!) exiled in Taiwan due to âWuhan pneumoniaâ (donât worry: we left China on Jan 20 for Thailand, and now weâve been in Taipei for a month). I only have three pairs of socks, one pair of flipflops, one pair of runners. Iâm working out 4-5 days/week, and my shoes are getting nasty and worn out.
Thanks!
Decathlon⌠some of their running shoes have sizes up to EU 47, Neihu and Luzhou have the largest selection, best to check inventory online beforehand.
The outlet malls. I went to the one in Linkou, and found a lot of options there. Got some nice Onitsuka Tigers. I havenât been to the outlet mall in Taoyuan (near the hsr station) but Iâd like to check it out as well.
Joel said socks⌠this is actually really difficult for large wide feet.
I got some they said were larger and i blew thru them in 2 days stretching only goes so far
I found a 4 xxl pack at Carrefour for $100 that were great
but cant find them now as i need more.
I would love to here options for sock packs for big wide feet
Thanks everyone!!
I was denied this by ~5 stores. Talked to one store manager during and was told the distributors will not ship above a 45 euro.
Where did you have luck?
Shopee or amazon, thatâs the only places where I can find US15 for me
banned from Amazon. How did you search shopee? I havenât had any luck
I honestly just search âUS15â
How did you manage that?!
If youâre looking for a US 13 then Costco sometimes carry them, if casual is OK then Decathlon or hiking stores like https://www.metroasis.com.tw/ will often have larger sizes.
I got mine at clownantics.com. They ship to Taiwan.
Sometimes I just get a bunch from Olâ Bob back in ND. He has a source and gives me a discount when I get five pairs or more.
Taipei has a Shoe Street, surprisingly, right next to Camera Street, at the Zhengzhong Market. Go there and if none of the 12 shoe stores have your size, they may agree to order for you if you like a particular style.
