Hi Katie,

As nobody has been to Sunny Beach this season (which has not yet started), any answers will be total guesswork.

Bulgaria joined the EU this January, so there *may* be more effective anti-piracy/counterfeiting measures in place this season. There were reports of fairly large quantities of counterfeit goods being seized from suppliers last year.

I agree Baldur, there are a lot of things we cannot predict for this coming season as a result of EU entry.

I suspect the 'genuine counterfeit' designer market will be killed off. I don't know what it's like in other EU countries, except for France where it's a criminal offence to even possess.

IF as the guys say there are any available, you can be sure they will be small sizes.

Yes Tanny, trainers are shoes, its me having a blonde moment.

Clothes are always too small for me in Bulgarian resorts, but I do know a shop in Varna. Couldn't tell you where it was exactly just near the proper big market, not the stalls near the cathedral people think is the market.

I know the problem, they just fit me but that means also that I can't move in any directions that I want without having 'problems'

To go back to the shoes: Katie, normally they have adults & kids sizes. Just look around or ask for them..

Ladies, ladies, with great respect, there's not much point speculating on the matter at this time, because as Baldur and I have pointed out, no one knows what the situation will be with the fake market following EU entry.

It might not exist at all, there might not be any trainers for sale be they large or small.

Hi Katie,

I suspect that the real articles are much more likely to be found in upmarket stores in the cities of Bourgas or Varna, rather than Sunny Beach, which is solely a tourist resort. :wink:

How much cheaper they would be (if at all, as they would be aimed at the relatively few Bulgarians who can be described as 'wealthy') I can't say.

For info: Ladies' shoe sizes (not for your required brands) in Metro Cash & Carry's online catalogue appear to be 25 - 47 - haven't a clue how those equate to UK sizes.
