Going to check out the big shoe store in Shinjuku today, will post if i find something. Big shoes tend to be boring as fuck pretty much anywhere i've been though, these things are a curse

My shoe size is anywhere from US 13.5 to 15 depending on brand and I've never really had too many problems with shoe shopping.

crockett and jones, and trickers, are pretty popular over there if the internet is any indication. both of them make 12+ but then you have to figure they probably aren't stocking those sizes.

higher-end sneaker hate is strange (not talking about limited hype stuff)... I mean, have any of you worn them? the difference is plainly obvious when you put them on your feet.

T EXP - i'm sure Murka is nice for big shoes but NO-BODY stocks big shoes here. I recently checked the website of locondo, which is kinda the J version of Zappos. I did a search for all shoes (boots, sneakers, sandals, whatever) in my size and got a total of 96 models, most of which were black or brown loafers. As far as I know, there are only 2 actual stores in Tokyo that carry shoes my size

I find the universal dismissal of sneakers and focus on looking "grown up" far more concerning than a simple pair of unadorned sneakers made with nice material and attention to detail.

unless youre playing basketball or running never ever wear sneakers ffs.

My post might have read wrong. I don't mind Vans etc. I think those particular shoes are puffy looking and think that people would like those solely because they look like a cross between a sneaker and a blutcher.

I think the point is that it isn't because that's a ridiculous thing to say. It's a shortcut, like wearing nothing but suits and buttoned shirts is.

That said I don't really have a horse in this, since I value comfort and practicability (and/or laziness) above all else.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #146 on:** April 14, 2013, 10:34:16 PM »

alright, i ending up ordering the Red Wing Iron Rangers in copper from amazon (Global Shipping ftw). I went a half-size lower than normal so fingers crossed. Free returns though so no biggie if I have some back and forth.

Was very tempted by the Beckmans but the decider for me was that the Iron Rangers typically run narrower make the feet look smaller, which is important for average-sized dudes with big feet like me.

There are some amazing-ass boots out there though - really liked the look of these White's custom-made ones

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #147 on:** April 14, 2013, 10:58:10 PM »

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #148 on:** April 14, 2013, 11:31:27 PM »

I actually preferred the look of the Beckmans slightly but it was a very close thing. $11 shipped to Japan and free returns tho so no regrets :O

Have you looked into Mr B by aldo? sometimes they have stuff like that. They're decently put together.

Also, Allen Edmonds usually has a lot of seconds (tiny production/stitching errors etc) on ebay for about 50% or more. I've seen a couple, and I honestly couldn't tell the difference.

Funny story so I was looking for shoes debating which ones I liked and spent a good 20 minutes looking at shoes at this place. I turn to the girl after I decided which ones I wanted and asked her for my size in a few different shoes. She tells me they don't carry my size shoe. Fuck shoes none of the one's I like are ever in my damn size. I've got huge freaking feet apparently.

Any good places for large feet?

AE are plenty comfortable. Especially if they have a rubber sole. If you want 'comfy' shoes then Ecco or Mephisto. But those are both pretty old-man tourist in terms of design.

Seeing all these large foot dudes makes me happy I'm a 9-9.5 D.

What makes you think Allen Edmonds aren't comfortable? My Strands are amazingly comfortable. They're high quality leather that fits like an old baseball glove after a while.

I'm leery of buying anything that I can't try on first. My feet are really weirdly shaped- they're wide not only in the toes and that general area, but closer to the heel/middle of the foot a bit as well. As a result, a lot of shoes pinch my feet and result in blisters.

I bought a pair of semi-decent looking shoes from a company called Nunn Bush that are VERY comfortable last week. Unfortunately, their shoes are all rather boring looking, although they certainly meet my "comfortable and affordable" requirements. Basically, my entire adult life I've only ever been able to NOT be uncomfortable in New Balance sneakers and now these decent (but boring) Nunn Bush shoes. While the Allen Edmonds are awesomely stylish, pretty much anything over $150 is a lot for me to spend on shoes currently, and I'd like to know if they're going to be something I'll be able to wear comfortably before dropping that kind of coin on them. If that makes sense.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #168 on:** April 16, 2013, 02:27:12 AM »

I threw out two pairs of borns that weren't working for me. That's when I stopped buying shoes online by looks. I can't risk it with my feet. So now I have to try everything on. I used to buy Simple shoes without a care in the world. But they closed up shop (fuck Sanuk) and I've worn my last pair. And I've been on the hunt for a good shoe company since. I also wanted to update my formal/casual wear with something a bit more stylish and comfortable. My John Varvatos leathers are losing their shine and the eyes for the laces are starting to go, but I've had them for over 5 years now.
