Is there any 'high street' shoe shops around - I mean like back in the UK we have lots of shoe shops but here I hardly see any, or maybe Im looking in the wrong places. I dont want anythign too expensive, just a simple pair of boots and shoes. Also dont want to go to the markets as i hate bargaining.

Hiya! I've never lived in the UK, so i don't know what price range 'high street' equates to, but if you're really looking to save money, I would try looking around in the Mong Kok area (check out Fa Yuen Street for real deals). You can shop your way up to TST. The shops out on the roadside tend to be cheaper, than the ones in big shopping malls, like Ocean Terminal.

Check out the Walker Shoes stores. They usually have hefty sales on (e.g. smart and casual leather shoes down from $599 to $299 in shop I went in today) and I've bought really comfortable, seem to be well made boots from them before. They're in lots of malls around Hong Kong.

Also look in the basement/ground floor (by the MTR) of SOGO department store in Causeway Bay as they have masses of shoes and I'm sure there'll be a sale on right now. Again, I've bought nice Italian ankle boots from there before, for a snip. Also pop in to Mitsukashi or whatever the other Japanese department store's called on the other side of the main road.

N.B. I take a small size so I don't have a problem finding shoes to fit me here, but I understand that larger sizes are hard to come by and people resort to Marks & Spencer (who can order in larger sizes if they're not in stock, by the way) or having them made.

Making shoes?!

Is there a place in Hong Kong where one can get shoes made? My girlfriends and I all complain about the shoes here and would love to have this option!
