On the second floor of Sovannah mall there are a couple of little shoe stores that have plus 10 sizes, also there is a target like store that never has any customers but does have some larger sizes.

Pretty ordinary knock off chuck taylors are the only thing I've found there above 44, but never a 47.

Is the target like store City Mart? I thought they went bust? They often had a good range of large sizes for clothes and shoes.

Ya, City Mart, forgot the name of it. Still open but I have no idea how, I have never seen a customer in there. Looks like quite a bit of stock too.

In the past I've bought numerous pairs of Sketchers, Clark's, Asics, Saloman shoes, as well as Keen and Reef sandals.
All size 46 (some 45.5) All $30 or $35 a pair. All made in Cambodia.

but try buying a pair of shoes,

and all of a sudden no genius ever considered a standard sizing.

There is some ancient evil afoot...

Some genius called ''GOD '' forgot to give everyone a standed size foot.

I need size 13 sneakers/trainer's, size XL OR XXL shirts, size 38 pants. I can't find anything my size expecially the trainers.
Please help, if i need to buy online to ship what would you suggest.

Thanks again
I'm pretty thin, maybe 34 waist and I have to buy XXXL underwear here. I needed a pair of dress-style shoes in a hurry last week and found it really tricky. I'm about 9.5 in US sizes but had to go to about six shops before I could find anything that would fit, and ended up buying a style I'd never usually go for just because they fit. Fuck it though, I'll probably only wear them once or twice a year.

City Mart was ok, but it closed down and the shop that replaced it ( Can't remember the name) is crap.

Was there the other day, could swear it still said City Mart but could be wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The City Mart in Lucky Soriya has closed.

I think the one at Sovanna is still open
