Buying products/shoes from Japanese web sites?

#1
Hi,
I'd like to buy pairs of Japanase shoes but I can't read Japanese enough to either know if the sites offer delivery to my home country (France) or to send them a mail to ask for such a special service. Would any good soul here be ready to help me do that, or if some are living in Japan, help me in shipping the shoes to me?
The site I found are the following:
1/ http://item.rakuten.co.jp/essendo/mw6500/
2/ http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%A6%E3%82%...329&sr=1-2

... Why do you need to buy shoes from Japan?

I was expecting that question. In France, I have a hard time finding shoes just as confortable and perfectly fitted to my size as I do in Japan. Actually, this is even true for all clothes, apparels. I went to Japan last July for the 1st time and I noticed that with a great surprise. It seems like they use my personal morphology as a model :-)

I bought that pair of shoes linked in my previous message, but I find them so confortable that I'd like to buy another pair, may be two.

I would like to send a mail to some of the web site referenced above in my previous post. Can anyone please give the translation for:

"Hello,
I would like to buy shoes from your site, but I live in France. Is it possible? Do you provide international shipping delivery?
What would be the total cost for that pair of shoes to France: *link here (for example http://item.rakuten.co.jp/essendo/mw6500/). Sorry but I don't understand Japanese. Thanks [すみません、でも私は日本語がわかりません。ありがとごさいます]. "

Amazon.co.jp ships most things internationally. Beware though, the shipping isn't cheap.

Amazon.co.jp seems to only ships BOOKS, VIDEOS, DVDS...
... but not SHOES, or RICE-COOKERS and so on:

see "The following product lines may be shipped to international addresses: Books, CDs, DVDs, and Videos (with some exceptions)." on http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/help/customer...Id=1039606.
