Sock options

[greeninjapan]

Hello,

Nope, the spelling is correct...this is about my need for socks in Japan.

I hope this subject doesn't get me blocked...but it is something that is impacting my everyday life in Japan!

Somebody posted about pots and pans (or similar) so I thought I'd give "socks" a go.

My feet are size 30 (Japan size). Not that big, but big enough to make finding comfortable-fitting socks a little tricky.
Does anyone know of a sock shop I can visit in the Tokyo area, or something online? Ideally it would be a visit to a shop so I can get a feel for what the socks are like and how stretchy they are. I want them do be loose-fitting and ideally "business socks" that I'd wear with a suit.

Thank you for reading this far.

I'm pretty sure I've seen normal business socks with a size designation of "28～30cm" at the underwear/pyjamas/socks area of Aeon.

Look up Gold Toe (US or Japan amazon) and go from there.

(SOXX isn't a bad ETF, either. )

I have the same size feet and order online from Amazon UK or US.

I found a promising company but they said something about not being exchangeable yet, and something else about vests?

It worked out better going elsewhere.

Sakazen in the Tokyo area has big sized shoes and socks. Big feet as well as big guts.

Thank you! I've tried a couple from Aeon, just about large enough but they are too tight at the top. I will keep looking there though!

Thank you! I haven't been in Sakazen for over a year now, so will pay them a visit and see what they have!

Thank you! I hadn't thought of ordering from UK or US...I've only ordered from JP and have been disappointed. I will do some browsing on Amazon.

Thank you, I will! I had some Gold Toe a few years back, bought in the US, and they were good.
SOXX is doing very well...all time high.
