Where to buy shoes in Vancouver?

[Gemcat]

I'm looking for a new pair of shoes, preferably Yonex, at a affordable price. I don't know where I can find a place that sells cheap and good shoes because my feet are size US 12 or EUR 46. Can some of the Vancouver or Richmond people help me out?

Thanks.

But that's a store in Hong Kong, and I really want to try the shoes before I buy it, so online shopping is a No-no.:eek:

But thanks for the help though~:D

Why don't you try them on locally and then buy them online?

There's a risk to doing this as I've mentioned in other threads. Either the Yonex shoe sizing quality control is not consistent or there are size differences between areas. When I went to Hong Kong and tried Yonex shoes, the size I use in Vancouver is too tight lengthwise. I tried many stores and models with the same result.

There's Tad's along Granville St in Vancouver, Racquets N Runners along Oak St and 30th. In Burnaby, there's Special Edition in Crystal Mall (Willingdon and Kingsway). Not sure about Richmond brick and motar retailers but C1, C2 and Richmond Pro carry some YY shoes.

I gotten a SHB-100 LTD at Tads and I also purchased online the SHB-100 (JP version) of the same size and there were no sizing issues.

I do not believe that there is a sizing differences of the same model shoe being sold in differnet areas because of the above. In my case, when I gotten my shoes at Tad's, I used the CM sizing listed on the shoe to order the JP version of the shoe.

Shoes are taxable!!! (+duty) :mad:

o well... i guess if u import it with rackets and shuttlecocks, they don't really care just like shirts and other accessories...

[Matt]

JP version is still cheaper even if shoes do get taxed (at discretion of customs). It still falls under the sporting equipment just like rackets, shuttlecocks, etc...

We are JP fans which includes you MSN04 ha ha ha! :D
