Title: 11.5 Vans in Japan
Post by: psychedtodie on May 14, 2018, 04:30:59 AM
Most big Vans retailers in Japan dont stock US11.5/29.5cm. The chain store that links straight from the official Vans website goes from 11 to 12 with no inbetween. Some online places have 11.5 listed but most are sold out in that size.

So the selection of Vans shoes you can get in 11.5 is kind if limited.

I tried looking on a website that said it ships worldwide, but when pretending to order to check the shipping price, it automatically displayed something about them not shipping Vans outside of Canada (I guess they are based in Canada?).

So my big dandy question is, anyone know online retailers that ship vans shoes workdwide? Preferably they have 11.5.

Also, if any J-maniax know places where you can get 29.5cm Vans in Japan, that would save me a lot of feelings of burning in hell. I found some places that sell simple black amd white old skools amd authentics in 29.5 but thats about it!

Sorry for the very specific questions. Thanks.

As far as I know, Vans don't have national shipping restrictions, right? So you could just order from skatewarehouse.com or tactics.com and you'll be set.

They do, at least between Canada and the US

Aah okay, sorry.. I'm in Europe and I think I ordered Vans before so I figured they don't have the restriction, plus I couldn't find anything on their websites. My bad.

Skate Warehouse ship (or used to ship) Vans products to Europe, Tactics do not. That's all I know.

Email Vans Japan maybe? I emailed the local distro here once and got a nice reply the next day.
