If you think those are big, you might like this pair of Lord Buddha's flip flops found lying around in a temple at Kamakura.    8)

Given the size of the Big Buddha at Kamakura, those flip-flops in Nick's photo may only just fit.

Well yes, it is quite big.  I cannot remember whether it is this one or a Buddha at Nara that are the largest in Japan.  However, the one shown is large enough to clamber about inside, which is great for examining the fascinating construction from numerous bronze sections.
