New shoe search.... Mizuno - Japan sites?

[BLWizzRanger]

Hey everyone, I just noticed that my New Balance's are worn out behind the heel. With other issues with this shoes, its probably time to look at options for new shoes.

Can anyone steer me to the equipment web site from Japan?  I want to look into getting the 'wider shoe box' from those J-Mizuno shoes.  Long story short, I have slight neuropathy in my right big toe that I don't know if it is inflamed by the NB shoe or not.  Maybe these J-Mizuno's would help.

WTBS, the shoe box from the U.S.-Mizuno's compare how to the NB's? That would be my other option.

TIA!

I have a pair of the Japanese Mizuno plate shoes and the toe box is narrow. The toe box in my NB's are wider. The widest is the toe box in my SSK plate shoes from japan. The Japanese Mizuno seem to fit very similarly to the USA ones.

The best way to find gear is through a manufacturer's website using a browser that can auto translate the website, from my experience, Chrome is better than Firefox at Auto translating Japanese websites. Once you find the product you can then take the product number and go to a proxy service such as Buyee.

What a proxy service allows you to do is go through different retailers such as Yahoo or Rakuten and search the shops there for the product and buy it. They will then receive it at their facility in Japan and ship it to wherever you are for a fee. They also support buying from different retailers and then consolidating the package at their facility before shipping it to you if you're buying multiple products such as both umpiring gear and anime stuff. 

Just expect shipping to start at like $20.

Both of mine--I own two pair of the Japanese model--came from eBay. Shipping and response times were pretty good considering.

Likewise (but just once, I don't have Idaho money).

However, I looked and the seller I used is not currently offering them.
