Anyone know of any good, big shoe (29ish) shops in Tokyo?

Here in Nagoya there is one location of Asbee`s that carries 29 up to sometimes 32. Choices are limited, and the colors are usually only white. I have better luck at Sports Authority, where there are usually about 10 different choices. Also I have found that Asics and Mizuno run big, so you might fit into a 28 in those. Good luck up in Tokyo.

Yeah,

There`s one about 2 minutes walk from Gotanda station and one in Shinjuku - same company. In Gotanda go out the side where there is a golf shop and turn right. If you walk along the side of the train tracks then it is just down there on the right. They should have 29cm - I`ve got 31 and they`re the only places I can find shoes here.

The one in Shinjuku is near Marui men further down that street away from the main part of Shinjuku. I heard there is another one in Kawasaki but no idea where

I'm pretty sure the name of the shop that PPP mentions is (シューショップ) ビッグ・ビ (Big B). Somebody gave me its business card once, but I've never been there cos I luckily managed to get some remaindered big shoes locally. It says they're open every day until 19:30.
