I have also found a few speciality shops for people with large feet, but often these shops are expensive. I just buy mens shoes, they are sometimes colorful too!

Good idea ^^ I’ve started buying men socks for the same reason 😂

Also clothes and pants for tall skinny women. I have to usually shop in the mens section. Why does Japan have tall and skinny boys clothes but not tall women clothes. Sometimes I go to the American size stores (aka plus size stores) but then it is too large around the stomach. But then again I also have trouble find pants in America too. (184 cm tall).

Shoes! Especially shoes. I’m a 25.5-26.0 size woman. Unfortunately, the shoe size for woman in Japan ends at 25. Or 24.5. where do all the other big feet women get your shoes at?

I also struggle with this! The brand Traffic Oriental sells some nice shoes in the bigger sizes, and they have two lines, for wider and slimmer feet. Also fast fashion retailer H&M offers these sizes as well(though they sell out before the sale season) If these options don't satisfy you, try some 大きい靴の専門店(ookii kutsu no senmonten) which although not as fashionable, can provide comfort. If these doesnt work, I suggest finding in Mercari or in Amazon the same brand and size of shoes that you used to get overseas (I personally like American brands such as dexflex comfort, and sometimes find it on my size!) And you can always check out no-buy groups (such as Mottainai Japan) for when fellow big footies are decluttering, you may get some jewels for free ;)
