    I wish I knew, I've never been able to find them. I remember shopping in China, shopkeepers would always wave me in their shops under the assumption I had money. Every time it was a shoe store, they'd wave me in, get to measuring my feet, and give up.

    Post if you find a source, and good luck!

    Yeah can only find those slipper ones not the gym shoe type which sucks...

    You would think with a brand like adidas they would make them since they do in their regular shoes but no.

    I found this page about Feiyue shoes:

    Look for European sizes, not American. You'll probably have more luck.

    Is there some kind of conversion chart for European sizes to US?

    Probably a 47 or 48. I have big feet, usually wear a men's 14 and I had some Fei Yue's that fit me from martial arts mart. You might also look at wrestling shoes or something like a puma low top. Eastbay.com has a lot of big sizes for athletic shoes.

    You can find running shoes in this size, but I'm just gonna go ahead and take a wild guess that somehow in the last five years, you've found some shoes for your friend.
    Kung Fu is good for you.
