The price difference in Japan

Retail prices for Brooks performance footwear in Japan are often 30% to 40% higher than in the United States. This price gap exists because of distributor markups and limited local inventory. While a US shop might list the Glycerin Max at a competitive price, Japanese runners often find it marked up significantly at retailers in Tokyo or Osaka. Buying from a shop us store allows you to access the original retail price. Check our guide on Read more: Why I import my Brooks Glycerin Max from US shops to Tokyo for a detailed cost comparison.

By using a tax-free us address, you can avoid US sales tax at checkout, which further increases your savings. The how it works section on our site explains the process of receiving your shoes at a US warehouse before they are sent to Japan.

Importing to Japan and customs

Using comGateway ensures your documentation is handled correctly for Japan Customs. You can estimate shipping cost inclusive of potential fees to ensure the total price remains lower than buying locally.

Final delivery to Tokyo

Once your package arrives at the warehouse, you can select your preferred speed for international shipping.

This method is often faster than waiting for a restock at local Japanese retailers.
