    I haven't purchased wholesale. But shoes are really cheap in Vietnam. There are many factory outlets too.
    While sightseeing one day I found a nice looking shoe - all leather Black and Brown mix in a shop in Hoi-An. Unfortunately it wasn't my size. A bit smaller. But this girl in the shop would not let me leave. I said it's wrong size and sorry. It was 10PM and probably they were about to close. Then she said she will make one for me the next day. Told her that I will be leaving the next day at 7.30AM from the hotel. Eventually she agreed less than half the original price quoted and exactly a shoe with the correct size was delivered to the hotel at 7 AM. When I went for breakfast around 8AM the reception told me that your shoe was delivered.
    That's the service. Would anyone in SriLanka do this? No and that's where we fail.

    If you want real quality shoes... Japanese ones are so good. Cannot compare the comfort.
    The problem in Japan, Vietnam or even in HongKong the normally available sizes are smaller than our foot sizes.

    I have, few months ago to Hanoi and Ha-Long Bay.
    Did not buy wholesale. There is a shoe street where you can find lots of shoe stalls, factory rejects are very rare, what they are selling is exact looking replicas. Good quality as it is almost like the original ones.

    Important thing is you should bargain, they always over-price the things there. If they say a pair is 300 you can actually get it for 100. Tell them the price is too high and turn to leave. Then they will say ok and give you for lower price. :yes:

    Special things to buy : Vietnam Coffee (really tasty), Leather hand-bags, Shoes (buy a lot), sweets (another dedicated street for that);)
