You know what they say regarding people with big toes
There are some branded footwear stores in Nanjing close to XinJieKou, but honestly your own big freak foot are probably out of luck. My spouse and i wear an American dimension 10, and I have only once found a pair of shoes in China that was worth retaining. I would suggest you do one or several of the following:
1.) Go to Shanghai and look inside the biggest most expensive malls you can find for the away chance they can help you out, Yao Ming used to play basketball there so there has to be a thing, right?
2.) Involve some shoes custom made, you can find places in Nanjing about Shanxi Lu that can try this, and plenty of cobblers in Shanghai.
Three.) Get some shoes sent to you from your home nation, or order them via Amazon.
Good luck.

You could try Silk Road in Beijing. I've them made for me personally,parajumper, or sent through Canada. Although a great pair of business shoes will run me concerning $200 custommade, they're worth it. I suppose the same thing would be a great deal cheaper in China.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping a person had actually got a new pair of shoes close to my personal size somewhere in China. For the file, no shoe merchants in any of the major searching areas in Nanjing (Xinjeikou, Fuzi Miao, Hunan Lu, etc.) have mens sneakers larger than 44 or 45. Silk Street in China might be a good option, however i checked out a bunch of foreigneraimed stores in Yangshuo to no avail; Beijing might well be different, however met an Australian who searched all over Beijing and could hardly find anything large enough. Looks like I'll likely have to go with shoes that are custom made or transported from home.

Some of the stores near Silk Street may also hold the shoes you need. You can Wangfujing too.
