Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , B1F = Men's Shoes

It's surprisingly empty at lunchtime on the first day!

It's a common belief that the best time to buy shoes is in the evening or at night when your feet are swollen. However, some people experience swelling in the morning, or the swelling may subside by evening after walking around during the day. The men's shoes on the first basement floor are always crowded during clearance sales, but mornings are a good time to go, and one stylist has said that "it's relatively empty at lunchtime on the first day." However, this winter clearance sale will feature "daily specials" for the first time in three years, so the mornings of Saturday the 6th, Sunday the 7th, and Monday the 8th are sure to be a fierce competition.


Also, the best deals are located next to the counter on the right after you go down the escalator. Prices start from around 10,000 yen and increase towards the back, so enjoy shopping in the section that suits your budget. If your budget is 30,000 yen or more, you can also select shoes based on construction methods such as Goodyear welt, McKay, and cement, so instead of struggling alone, telling a stylist the "image you want" and having them find it for you is one of the secrets to success in clearance sales.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, bringing several pairs of socks with you to a clearance sale is the quickest way to find the perfect-fitting shoes, and it also helps with preventing swelling. In particular, if you plan to wear the same pair of socks for both business and casual occasions, it's a good idea to bring socks of different thicknesses.
