Sorry I can't remember the name of the place.One day I went out for a huge walk on my own & a money belt full of rupiah.No husband & no kids for 4 hours,I was in heaven.I found this place as I was walking back towards Legian from Bintang supermarket,It's a double size shop set a bit of a way back off the footpath & it way before you get to Melasti street.
I reckon if you do a search in the archives for " Big Feet,Big Shoes,shoes " that you would probably find one of my posts mentioning the name,address etc.Sorry but I have no idea at the moment where their business card is.
I never pay more than 25,000 here or elsewhere & still have about 6 pairs that are still going strong after 2 years.Granted some of the beads have fallen off some of them but these ones are the ones I wear all the time - colours like black,navy & brown that you can wear with most colour outfits are missing a few beads.The red & blue ones are still fine & I really mean I wear most of these sandals to death.I hate buying shoes in Oz cause I have such big feet,can only wear flatties & have wide feet.
At this place in the Seminyak area that I mentioned they even have beaded sandals that have a heel but I think they were dearer than
" thongs".I tried them on but they didn't feel right for me.
As I said before even have large sizes in men's shoes,it's a great place & really worthwhile checking out.I just remembered the name of the shop is something like " Mustada " outlets in Seminyak,Tuban & Denpasar.
