The Hitler Walker.


From 오가게.

Home Plus has a decent selection of big-size shoes for western feet, but if you're looking for something a little more trendy for the Slow Walking Festival, consider the Hitler Walker (히틀러워커).



A variety of colors, materials, and styles for about 40,000 won. A lesser blogger would have titled this post "These boots are made for goose-steppin'."

I don't know about big-sized shoes. These hitler walkers go up to size 280, not all that big.
(I'm 310 and do not even bother to find shoes in Korea)

Well, I lived in Gangjin, Suncheon, and Gwangju, and Home Plus was pretty much it. I wore between 280 and 300, depending, and I could always find something comfortable.

those will go well with my Tojo sandals.

Before I flew off the handle, I wanted to make sure that it didn't say 핱틀러 or they were trying to write Heathrow or something.

Nope, it pretty much looks like they meant to say "Hitler."

... The fu¢k!

This is worse than the Nazi-themed ads for the cosmetics. Anyone in Korea able to tell us who is responsible for making these shoes? (It's probably a corporate parent of some kind.) This needs a serious slap-down, and fast.
