Fit for a queen?!
Recently I went to a discount store and found these shoes for the summer. I wanted a pair with some height but not too much height. I like wearing 4 inch heels but there are a lot of stairs in the city. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to fall down and break my neck. Yes, I know, they are very gold. These are my fourth pair of metallic shoes. I should just get it over with and move down to the retirement community in Florida. Anyway, there's more ...
What's this? Yes, that's right, here in Japan my feet are extra extra large, queen sized in fact. I wear anywhere from a US 8 to a US 9 and it's almost impossible to find shoes that fit. So even though this is funny I'm thankful that I found something. (Bonus: Made in Japan.)

That's so funny! So i guess i have Queen Size feet too.
Thanks so much for your comment at my post. I am really enjoying to cook and bake. And i know the blog isn't about food but still is something that i love and it seems readers too.
very very cute shose! i know its hard to find bigger size in japan. everything in there is so small. im like size 7.5, but people in japan always call me a big foot!
you should totally go to the fabric shop, tomato, when you get over there...let me know if you need any more info!
(Queen) Karencilla- See, I would never had known, you seem like a petite person. I think another problem is that usually there are only a few sizes to choose from.
Hooray, more food. It's your blog so you can post whatever you like. ;-)
Chie- Big foot!? Oh no! I have a friend who wears the 21 cm size. It's hard for her to find shoes but I saw they call her size Cinderella. Not fair.
Pretty-pretty! I actually got a couple of pairs of shoes when I visited Japan. I'm a 7.5 and I found quite a bit in the sales racks- possibly because they were leftovers, from there being no Japanese gals as 'big' as me :o)
Another friend is a size 9 and when she asked for some shoes in a Japanese store when she went there, the salesgirl did the 'giggle behind hand'! And I did the BWAHAHAHAHA when my friend told me the story :o)
EmilyKate- Thanks. You're so lucky! Your poor friend. Although, I have to admit since I'm not in a shoestore at the moment it sounds funny.
Cool blog! Then I can imagine what the what my size 7-7 1/2 would be! I have a "One Lovely Blog Award" waiting for you at http://drheathermath.blogspot.com/2009/06/one-lovely-blog-award.html
Cheers!
