So the time is getting REAL close to buy something for your special someone, and I am definately in a crunch to get my wife a pair of shoes that Skechers USA does not distribute.

I've been searching on-line for any kind of "HI-SOLE" Skechers that my wife wears. Unfortunately, most of the ones I find are in Japanese, and do not except VISA cards nor Paypal.

I'm curious if anyone here happens to know any good websites, in English or Japanese, that sells the Skechers HI-SOLE shoes, AND that accept VISA/Paypal?

Here are some example product numbers of the Japanese Skechers Hi-Sole shoes:

SKL9780
SKL9900

Thanks for you help!

Did you try amazon?
They seem to have many Skechers. It also might be listed under a different name even if it's the same style.

Rudel could you give me your wife's shoe size? Also what color do you want on those shoes. If you can give me the name, style, color, size, and number for the particular shoe that you want I can find it for you.

Doc...Usually the Japanese styles he's talking about aren't sold that often in the US. They have about a 3" sole on them (if I'm not mistaken). But, with that being said, I have seen some dancers wearing them in videos before...so maybe you'll have some luck afterall!

Rudel...Post a photo of the old ones, or email it to me, and I can probably buy some here and ship them!

Rudel...take a look on this site http://www.skechers-jpn.com/ and see if you see the model you are looking for! (I can't open it while at work!) If you find what you want, but can't make the purchase, maybe you and I can work it out!

I'm no fan of Nigo--- but buy her some Bathing Ape shoes, no matter which you get--- they'll at least have a high resale value.

I'm pretty sure that this is what you want? I can get these here, but shipping them to you before Christmas could be tricky!

or maybe this?

Yikes. Something about high-heeled sneakers that make me go hmmmm...

Anyway, Skechers must be really big in Japan? My sister-in-law had to buy a couple pairs of them while she was here back in August. They didn't have her size, so she went up a size. She just HAD to have them, no matter what! ☝

Thanks for your help guys

@ Misa.J, Minxie, I actually visited those sites. No avail.

@ Doc: Her shoe size is 25cm. Roughly 5 or 6 in American women size. Also the tags on the inside are worn away. I can't get the style number for you.

@ CC1, that would be greaty appreciated. I think she could handle a late Christmas.

@ Kirei: Skecher, Nike, Converse, are just as big as in America. However, the companies in Japan have their own lisence to create their own products.

This is what her shoes look like. They are some kind of BOA type shoe. The kind that BOA (the singer) designed I guess. Definately out of style, but if I find something very very similar. I will buy it.

I stopped at a small place today and found these! Is this what you are looking for? I can probably find a better price though.

I've been to three places and the price is about the same at all of them. If you can get them cheaper on the net then I would do it! You would have to figure the cost of the shoes, and the cost for me to ship them to you...but let me know what you want to do!

Most of the Japanese websites do not allow my Visa card; which makes it difficult to purchase these shoes. Can yo do money transfers?
