Fake shoes, how to find good ones in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) Vietnam

Andrew explains how to shop for fake shoes in District 1 of Saigon. Come with us as we shoe shop in the shoe market, what is known cleverly enough as "Shoe Street" in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. Andrew does a wonderful explaining how to tell a good shoe from a worthless one in a city where buying shoes can be hit and miss.

Thank you very much everyone for all the love you send my way. I assure you, the feeling is mutual.
I am an American Expat in Ho Chi Minh City, (Saigon) Vietnam. (I dislike the word Expatriate). I have lived in Vietnam for 3 years, I am almost considered an expert at living abroad. As I live, work and travel in Vietnam and south east Asia, I want to take you around with me to show you what I saw in Vietnam, in South East Asia and talk with you about my experiences living in Saigon HCMC and take you with me as I travel vlog around Vietnam and South East Asia in 2022. I am not a backpacker but I started by wanting to backpack through South East Asia. I was going to just visit of vacation, but I was going to take part in tourism activities. I was going to be a globetrotting tourist but I never really planed to document mytravels. Was going to be a long holiday trip, maybe I would become a digital nomad. But I knew Vietnam would be my home when I got here, now Saigon is my home, where I work and live, but I still plan to motor bike across Asia, motovlog Vietnam, moto vlog South East Asia, dare I motorbike into China? And also fly around South East Asia, to tour and travel, But for now, this is my Vietnam life, my HCMC Saigon life, my expat life. I always thought living abroad would be scary, but it's interesting and fulfilling. The food is amazing, the culture is fascinating and the people are friendly and welcoming. If you ever wanted to take the leap to travel and live abroad, Tourism in Vietnam is buzzing right now since Vietnam reopens. I am often asked: are Vietnam borders open? Yes indeed, tourism reopened in 2022. Want to know what I saw in Vietnam and my life in HCMC Saigon. What I think about Vietnam and traveling and living abroad? What to do in Vietnam? How do live in Asia? What to do in Saigon? How to work, or work as a teacher in Asia? How to get a visa or what a digital nomads life could be like in Asia or Vietnam? What is it like to be an Expat in Vietnam and South East Asia? I am an expat, a Saigon Vlogger, a HCMC vlogger, a moto vlogger, a lifestyle vlogger, a digital nomad resource, a Saigon nightlife vlogger, an immigrant, a migrant worker. I make vlogma videos, (wth is vlogma) I want a daily vlog, but ain't got the time. But I can do a video diary, which makes me an online creator. Why anyone would watch vloggers as bad as me, I don't know. Sometimes I make food vlogs, foodporn? Did you know yum in Vietnams mean "horn..", well, neverminded. I hope you will feel encouraged by my channel. I will show you a lot of things like how to live abroad, how to be a digital nomad, how to work in Asia, how to experience Vietnam, how to make friends and build a life in Asia, how to enjoy the culture and food. How to be a gamer in Asia. How to live a life in Asia, like a normal person. How to be a happy person. I am not a Vietnam digital nomad in HCMC. But I know a few. Did you actually read all that? Tell me in the comments that you did and I will give you shoutout in my next video. Some keywords I like to include are:

    My cousin in law really knows about shoes as he used to own an athletic store in Vietnam before it closed down. Him and my cousin sold no fake items. Some people were suspicious of the prices. What he did was just go the real Nike, Adidas, etc store and bought tons of items that were either on sale or clearance to resell. Quality didn’t always matter to him as more focused on the real product. Some small stores do sell the real thing but often what they buy to sell was bought a clearance price. Thanks for sharing this video.

    If you want to buy fake shoes, you should visit Lý Chính Thắng street in District 3 or at the market (not in district 1). In District 1, even if it's fake shoes, the price is still expensive, maybe because they are located in the district 1. Young people in Vietnam will often buy shoes at the mall because they think the quality will be better even though sometimes even at the store it is still mixed with low quality. I usually buy at Takashimaya. I know it will cost more. But in terms of quality, I find it better than the store. In my opinion, some people in Vietnam dont have enough money to buy a good pair of shoes to wear, some pairs have less than 500k . So sometimes they will save money so they can buy good shoes or wait for a sale. anyway I really like your video content, will support your next videos

I usually buy my shoes at the mall. the last pair of shoes I bought was at Crescent mall and it was a pair of sketchers and it cost near 2 million, but it's been almost 2 years now and I'm still wearing them so I think it was a good deal.

    That's really strange. I wear US 10 (Nike) or 9.5 (Adidas, New Balance, etc.), and I never had any problems buying shoes back when I grew up in Vietnam. I'd say US 9 is average size there. Most of my friends (back there) wore between US 8.5 and US 9.5.
