Hello everyone! I am a girl with European foot size 40, I thinks that would be about 25 centimeters or an LL size in Japan..which I see rarely. I moved to Japan a short while ago and was looking around for shoes but cannot find anything my size and style. Who knows a good shoe store that carries my size?

If you live close to a big city you might be able to find some western shoe or clothing stores that sell your size of shoes. I know that in Tokyo you can always try stores like Adidas, Zara or H&M. Furthermore, you might want to check out this article from the Japan Times, they have a whole article dedicated to bigger sized shoes.

The last option I can give is to order your shoes online from a store that ships to Japan.
Good luck!

There's one shop called JELLYBEANS.
It is very recommended by many foreigners living in Japan and you can find in in a variety of malls accross Japan. IThey have suitable shoes for big feet and normal foreigner sized feet. I recommend you take a look.
I know you can find jellybeans in some lalaport malls and maybe online as well.
