HARAJUKU SHOES: DOCTOR MARTENS, BLACK LEATHER KNEE BOOTS, LOLITA PLATFORMS.
Out Of The World is an apt name for this Harajuku shoe store. Everything on the shelves appears to be cobbled by a Goth Punk Cyber alien.
For the cutie-pies, there’s Leche by Yosuke and other Sweet/Gothic Lolita footwear brands…
For the romper stompers, there’s a grand collection of leather boots, Mary Janes, and Doc Martens. How many rivets, roses, crucifix chains, and metal buckles can you spot?
Don’t neglect your hosiery. Sock hops on Takeshita Doori carry every variety of Goth/punk tights and ankle warmers. I picked up Nightmare Before Xmas knee-highs for $5!

it's killing me!!!!!!!!!!
i want to have all those boots!!!!!!!!!
I wish I could find those shoes in the States! The closest thing we have are the stuff Demonia makes and the Tripp shoes.. which honestly aren't as gothloli as I'd like. :(
Do they have those shoes in bigger sizes (say, a 8-9 us)?

The size ranges vary, depending on the brand. Leche by Yosuke, for example, has larger sizes. However, everything is scaled smaller here… my vintage Metamorphose boots (see Tokyo Decadance post) were only available in size L, and they’re too big for my feet (I wear a size 6.5-7). This means that a standard Lolita size large shoe is around 8 US…
Hm…. How long are you in Japan for? I’m a little crazy, and I almost want to ask you if you can be my importer. lol
hahah sadly I must decline, due to lack of time and hatred of postal service line-ups…. BUT I’m working on getting my clothing line to stores ASAP! Stay tuned!
When they say ‘snail mail’, they mean from start to finish! I’ll just have to be patient for western shoe designers to get actually creative.
Arrrgh. Those boots. *Makes grabby hands* They look like they'd be priced at a reasonable price, around how much did you see them for? Love your photos by the way!
You're right – these shoes actually ARE reasonably priced. $80-150, mostly. I think it's because the alternative designs appeal to a specific clientele … so they aren't sold as much as, say, popular knee-boots from Shibuya.

Out of curiosity, what type of shoes do most classic lolitas wear? I can't seem to decide what goes best with my classic lolita clothes…
I don't want to be too little girly or cutesy, but I'm not punk or goth, either.
Like here I am wearing my normal garb:

What do you think about shoes that might match?
