   From your picture you appear to be average height so my guess would be you have western size feet. I would recommend bringing your own shoes as they are difficult to find especially good quality. Tons of fakes both good and bad in appearance and the quality is usually sub par. For example a copy that says waterproof or gortex are rarely either of those and are mostly for looks. Take care of your feet here especially with the heat and bring good quality socks. I’ve lived here for 9+ years and when I return home I always return with a bag of socks and boxers.

   Not easy buying clothes is female. Laundry service is cheap though. As long as you tell them to actually wash it!

   I wouldn’t buy new shoes… We are doing a lot of walking and new shoes would hurt!

   Yes and no. I think clothes sure easy, shoes , will mostly be fake (consider size also hard to get shoes over 43 Euro, you can get things like converse docs and Viet brands also knock off Adidas and Nike and , sketchers but if you want real hiking boots maybe bring good quality from home, north face clothing and bags good here, Saigon square is better than many other places at least in district 1. A lot of second hand places for jackets and winter things in say Highlands like DaLat, due to the weather.
