In Reply to: Womens Shoes - Large Sizes posted by MegzyB on Sunday, 15. August 2010 at 20:26 Bali Time:
Hi, I'm also a size 10-11 in Australia and after many visits to Bali had really only managed to get a few rare pairs of 42s on the street. I had also experienced the sales ladies laughing when I asked for larger sizes in the department stores. Last trip though I noticed a huge change - many more pairs of 42s at the markets and I discovered that the sizes listed in some of the stores are vastly different to our sizings. In one department store (cannot remember the shop name but it was at Bali Galleria) I actually fitted into a 7. I quickly realised that if I asked in each shop for the largest pair it was worth the effort. I only made this discovery late in my last trip but still managed to get some beautiful shoes very cheaply. My hubby was very glad I didn't discover this earlier!! Also had some shoes made - love having this done as they are a perfect fit! Hope this helps.
