Thank 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.
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!

Thank 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!
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.

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)

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.

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. :)

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.

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. :D

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.
