Yeah I just throw some in when I am ordering something else as the incremental postage is de minimis. I did try Shein and Temu but neither were quite big enough. Lesson learned!greeninjapan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 2:59 pmThank 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.

Re: Sock options
My feet a longer than yours, but I have never experience socks being "too tight" at the top. So I am not sure how to advise you.greeninjapan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 2:55 pmThank 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!AreTheyTheLemmings? wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 9:01 am 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.
Muji offers socks in larger sizes, that work fine for me.
Happy socks has sizes 13+ (European 47-51) (https://www.happysocks.com/gl/product/P ... dult=47-51)
Re: Sock options
My feet at 28.5cm are not quite as large as yours but I get all my socks from Uniqlo. Their online store offers 27-29cm options at their regular cheap prices as well as many always on sale in numerous colors and styles. Since I started wearing Heat Tech socks in winter, I can’t go back to regular ones. Free shipping kicks in I believe from ¥5,000 yen so it’s convenient too.

Re: Sock options
Thank you! I'm on Uniqlo's site now and as you wrote they go up to 29cm. I do quite a lot of shopping at their local store and haven't tried on-line, but this could be the first time.Tokyo wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 9:33 pm My feet at 28.5cm are not quite as large as yours but I get all my socks from Uniqlo.

Re: Sock options
I was amazed to find socks in big size (29cm) They stretch on my 30`s just fine, in the 100 yen shop. Black business style. Fairly average sock quality.
Re: Sock options
If you are in the Tokyo area then you can try Hikari shoes which specializes in larger shoe sizes. They also have a limited selection of large sized socks. The main store is in Kawasaki but they also have one in the Kanda area of Tokyo.
I've never had a problem finding size 32 shoes and socks there. Prices are higher than ABC Mart but this is a very niche market.

Re: Sock options
Lol, they will work. Unless OP prefers the more modern styling with a short inseam. However, usually that necessities some sock flare.
Happy socks, which come in size 13+, and I linked above, have you covered. They are also sold at many independent retailers in Japan.
