HELP!!! In desperate need of CUTE SHOES for my BIG FEET

Submitted by Symerna Blake on Wed, 2008/10/15 - 00:03.

Once upon a time I had average sized feet, but in the land of the Lilliputians they are suddenly intolerably huge. I am this close to walking bare-footed. Does anyone know where in Gunma, Tokyo or anywhere on mainland Japan I can find shoes for my size 9 (US) foot, that's 25.5 to 26cm in Japan. Men shoes just aren't cutting it anymore.

Thanks a million.

Some of the larger ABC Mart

Some of the larger ABC Mart shoe stores have a "large" section on the second floor. I haven't looked for women's shoes, but men's shoes were up to 30 cm when I was looking around at one. Of course the large sections are usually fairly limited, so I don't know if you'd be able to find anything cute. Can't think of anything else though.

Symerna, if you're willing to tackle the Japanese (or have someone who can help you) I've got the best place in Japan to get cute/sexy/comfortable/etc. shoes for non-Japanese-sized feet. Most shops have sizes up to and greater than 26cm so hopefully you'll have lots to choose from.
     
Here's the site: Rakuten Ladies' Shoes with 26cm pre-selected for your convenience. Even if the Japanese is a little intimidating, there are tons of pictures to help you out. On the sidebar you can get even more picky by choosing only pumps, sandals, boots, loafers, etc. Enjoy!

I'll check both of them out...the shoes on the website look very promising.
