Wholesale Shoe Market in Seoul

Shoe shopping! Jon hates it, but I'm addicted to it! But if you love it like I do, you need to do it wisely to save money^^

1) How to get there: Line 1, or 4 Dongdaemun station exit 7, 5 minutes walk. The shops are along 청계천 (Cheonggye Stream). There are also even more shops behind the buildings.

3) Opening time: 3:00am~3pm / Sunday-closed

4) Advice
① End of Season: end of February or August, there are big discounts
② I don’t recommend leather shoes- Leather shoes are cheaper than other ones. But still expensive and they can ask for more money to foreigners because they think they don’t know other places prices (Shameful but true).
③ With big smile, you can ask “Kkak kka ju se yo(깍아주세요/ discount pleas)”
④ It is better to look at many places before choosing (Don’t impulse buy), I’ve been there, and even it is the exact same shoe, the price depends on store (The farther from the station, the cheaper the price!)
