Chalisa Pornmuttawarong is the founder and designer of HORSELEGMARKING. Bright colors make up a combination of three of her signature patterns, including the triangle hawk, rectangular diamond and circular butterfly and flowers. Her multi-layered silk-screened and handmade sneakers are unisex, making them perfect kicks for both men and women traveling in Thailand. The brand’s motto is “live in cultural consciousness,” and her inspiration is drawn from Isaan, the northeast region of Thailand. The shop is located on the Chao Phraya River, just across the way from the famous Wat Arun temple. To visit HORESELEGMARKING and see all of Chalisa’s amazing designs for yourself, you can either get a taxi or catch one of the boats along the river to Tha Tien Pier.

3. Chatuchak Weekend Market

The best place to find affordable, unique shoes is at Chatuchak Weekend Market. While this may seem like a tourist destination, only good for stall “window shopping” and the experience alone, there are actually some great finds at this market. One of these is the overabundance of shoes. You’ll find that many vendors have their shoes lining the crowded streets, just inches away from the crowds that shuffle through. To get to Chatuchak Weekend Market, take the BTS Skytrain to Mochit. You can also take the MRT Subway to Chatuchak Park. A taxi driver should also know where this is, as well.

5. Knock Kicks

Knock Kicks

Knock BKK Kitchen & Kicks brings two of its seemingly unrelated passions together under one roof: sneakers and food. You’ll find shoes from top labels, such as Adidas, Saucony, Dssent, Nike, ICNY, and more. On top of the stylish kicks they sell, Knock x La Monita is famous for serving up American and LA-inspired Mexican street food, which is a refreshing change from the lines and lines of Thai street vendors visitors of Thailand are used to. Knock BKK Kitchen & Kicks also hosts DJs, all-you-can-eat brunches, art events every month, and more. To get to Knock BKK Kitchen & Kicks, take the BTS Skytrain to stop Thonglor. From there, their townhouse is located between Soi 15 and Soi 17. All the shoes can be found on the third floor.

Knock Kicks, 333/ Sukhumvit Rd, 727/1 ซอย สุขุมวิท 55 Bangkok 10110, +66 081 375 6625

6. Walking In My Shoes

Market, Shop, Store, Gym, Park

Chatuchak Weekend Market has some great secondhand shoes to choose from. If you’re looking for something that has not been previously worn, however, Walking In My Shoes is the shop to visit. This shoe store is exclusively for women. Prices are fairly cheap, with almost all of the shoes being under ฿400 (about $11).
