Hidden away in a shopping complex near the Timiryazevskaya metro station is the stall of Triton Shoes. Despite having a rather impressive web site, the store itself is very modest. They do, however, have reasonably priced, trendy shoes for women up to size 44 (US size 13) and men up to size 48 (US size 15).
The Moscow shopping center near Lyublino metro station has more than one shopping option: Norita, in pavilion 57, and King Shoe at pavilion 28, which is a good thing if you bother to make the trip out there. Despite its name, King Shoe also offers footwear for the other end of the spectrum, selling women's shoes in sizes 32 to 35 (US sizes 3 to 5) and 41 to 44 and men's shoes in sizes 38, 39 and 46 to 52.
Mara Shoes, at the 1000 Things shopping complex by Paveletskaya metro station, is more conveniently located, but you pay for the accessibility; their cheapest seasonal offering is 8,000 rubles.
There is also the appropriately named BigShoes.ru, which offers men's shoes up to size 53 and women's shoes to size 43, but their location has changed so it makes sense to check their web site before making a visit.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
