Hi,
I'm looking for some goth boots with tall thick soles, for size 35-36 or so. Do you know what store sells that in Helsinki?
Thanks!

I've seen an ad hundreds of times on Facebook, but I can't remember the name of the store. I'll have a browse through some pages and see if I can find it.

This shop in Helsinki would probably offer what you're looking for.

http://www.morticia.com/

see e.g. under "kengät"

The Nokia model as suggested by M-F can be found more easily

Excellent! I need to get ds some tossut for school. Since his name is Reino, those would be just perfect. Do they make them in size 34?

Reino's Reinos

yup they have from 22 to 48
www.reinokauppa.fi (but you can get cheaper actually from other than the factory store... "this is Finland"

)

So they're not your thing. Chill out, bro.

No reason to be nasty.

Thick soles are a great idea for Finnish winter. Your feet won't freeze or get wet when you walk through the slush.
Even I have worn platform soles (not recently though, probably circa 1975). They are quite comfortable. Believe it or not.
And in Helsinki, everyone stares anyway (apparently), so what difference would the shoes make?

Why not just get some ballet shoes and walk on your tippytoes?
