If you’re heading to Thailand soon and are already dreaming about mango sticky rice, let us add something else to your must-do list: shoe shopping. The Land of Smiles isn’t just about night markets and affordable massages—it’s also home to a thriving fashion scene. When it comes to footwear, local Thai shoe brands are nailing the sweet spot between quality, comfort, and covetable designs.

From dreamy ballet flats in rainbow shades to sculptural heels that double as art, there’s a shoe (or three) waiting to be slipped into your suitcase. Whether you’re wandering the lanes of Ari or speed-walking through Siam Paragon, these locally loved labels are well worth making space for—both in your Google Maps and your carry-on.

Here are our fave Thai shoe brands to know now and to shop later on your next Bangkok run.

Feminine with a side of whimsy, Sirena is all about details that pop—think glittery bows, satin finishes, and strappy silhouettes that wouldn’t look out of place on a modern-day mermaid. Designed to be both playful and wearable, Sirena’s shoes are handmade, with bestsellers include sparkly slingbacks as well as the romantic block heels that are basically begging for a night out.

O&B has reached cult status in Thailand for a reason: its ballet flats are iconic with a capital ‘I’. Available in over 50 colours (yes, you read that right), the Audrey flat is beloved for its comfy, glove-like fit and its knack for pulling together any outfit. The brand also does understated heels and sandals in sleek, minimalist shapes, but the flats are its bread and butter.

Oyster Footwear is the cool kid of the bunch—think edgy, directional shoes with a slight “bad girl” energy. Its signature? Sculptural heels and unexpected materials, like metallic leathers and soft mesh, done in silhouettes that blur the line between fashion and function. Perfect if you’re after a statement shoe.

If comfort is your top priority when shopping for shoes, then waste no time and hit up Plush Studios. The aesthetic leans clean and refined, with lots of neutral tones, soft leather, and subtle shapes. Think slip-on loafers, elegant mules, and versatile block heels that work from office to evening. The brand also prides itself on craftsmanship—expect high-quality finishes that feel more premium than the price tag lets on. And speaking from personal experience, it probably has one of the softest and cushiest soles in the market.

True to its name, Puff Shoes is known for its puffy and padded straps, cushy soles, and cloud-like comfort. These shoes come in punchy colours, trendy shapes, and silhouettes that feel fun without trying too hard. It has everything from kitten heels to casual slides, all designed to give you maximum comfort while still making a style statement.

Minx is like that effortlessly chic friend who always looks polished, even when they say “I just threw this on.” Its viral loafers are minimalist but not basic, with sleek lines and an occasional surprising detail—like a twisted strap or playful charm in place of a loafer tassel. Each piece is thoughtfully designed and easy to style, whether you’re packing for a weekend getaway or dressing for a rooftop dinner.

With a name like Minimalist, you know what you’re getting. Still, the brand keeps things interesting with sculptural heels, modern toe shapes, and a commitment to clean, contemporary design. Its neutral palette and architectural vibe make the shoes a go-to for anyone who lives by the less-is-more mantra. A solid pick for workwear upgrades or subtly statement party looks.
