Korea shoe brand- Chakhan shoes 🇰🇷

Have always been seeing this on my tiktok and also have been told by my friends about this place. So I visited in May 2024 and here are my thoughts as someone that doesn’t wear heels everyday.

Context:

I only usually wear heels on special occasions like interview/events like celebration/ wedding/CNY etc.

Since I’m starting work and it’s a more office-like environmental thought it would be good to invest in 1/2 pairs.

💭Thoughts:

Very pleasing to the eyes, it actually made me want to wear it everyday just because of how nice it look when I wear it. It’s one of the more comfortable heels imo, I did get some abrasions the first time wearing it, but subsequently was okay.

Initially was to bring my sis to find potential wedding heels ended up we both bought 2 pairs each 🤣

If you don’t wear heels it’s okay !!! They got boots/flats etc.

Material is good too! So far my heels are from d&c or like shein(which get worn out q easily) so I went with a motive to get heels.

I think if your gg Korea and in the area, good to check it out!!

💰 Price: ranges from 20+k ~ 50+k KRW

( it depends on what kind of shoes, I only saw the prices for heels)

📍Recommendation for: if you’re in Korea or planning to go, then it’s for …

Everyone! Cooperate girlies can get a few pairs to Change up the look everyday!

If shoes is not your thing then I think can skip !!

... Read moreIf you're considering purchasing shoes from Chakhan during your trip to Korea, here are a few more personal insights to help you decide: One of the standout features of Chakhan Shoes is their versatility. While the heels are perfect for office wear or events, they also have a good selection of boots and flats, making it a great spot even if heels aren't your thing. I initially went looking for wedding-appropriate heels but ended up buying multiple pairs because the styles and quality won me over. The material quality surpasses what you'd typically find in brands like Shein or D&C, meaning these shoes tend to last longer and maintain their look well. Though I had slight abrasions when wearing the heels for the first time, they broke in nicely afterward and became quite comfortable. Price-wise, heels range from about 20,000 KRW to 50,000 KRW, depending on the style. Given the quality, I found this reasonable, especially if you want durable and elegant footwear. A useful tip before visiting: check out pictures and reviews on Naver or other local platforms to set realistic expectations about the style and fit. Also, visiting the Yeonnam district store in Seoul allows you to try on multiple pairs and get a feel for what suits your daily or event needs. In conclusion, Chakhan is a must-visit for anyone looking to upgrade their shoe collection in Korea, particularly office workers wanting stylish yet manageable heels, or anyone interested in durable, aesthetic footwear options.
