Finding large women's shoes in Japan?

Question:


I am a foreigner living in Japan, and I have been having a very difficult time finding large size shoes. I have pretty big feet.

In winter, I was able to wear some LL size boots, but in summer I want a pair of sandals and LL doesn't cut it.

I've tried up to 25.5 cm but I still need something bigger. So, the size, in Japan, should be over 40. Probably between 40-42 is okay.

But I have been to numerous shoe stores and I can't even find ANY sandals that size. I've even tried on 25.5 cm ones just hoping they will fit, but they are all too small.

Tokyo is far from where I live, as are most big cities, so is there any good website I can order large sized shoes from?

I've already thoroughly browsed Rakuten and found some size 40 shoes, but they are always out of stock >_>

Answer:


You can search by the word "モデルサイズ" (model size) or "大きい靴" on yahoo.co.jp or google, you will find many internet shops in Japan which has range of up to 27cm.
Here are some of those links:
