Size 12 Flats for Women: Where to Buy in the UK
Quick answer: at UK 12 seven shops list flats, with a few styles at each. Long Tall Sally has several ballerina pumps and one faux suede tassel loafer, and Yours and Evans show some of the same. Otto and Ivy lists the Molly ballet flat and the Harriet and Penny loafers at EU 46. Crispins Shoes has a few flats and loafers, Marks and Spencer has Birkenstock Naples mules, and Next a few loafers and one ballerina.

At 12 the list changes shape. After 8 Shoes has gone, and Marks and Spencer reappears after having no flats at 10 or 11, because Birkenstock’s Naples mule is labelled 9.5, 10.5 and 12 in its filters. So there is one mule here, in unisex sizing, and it is the only one we can name above Long Tall Sally’s mule sandals at 11. Everything else is a pump or a loafer. The specialists have more loafers here than Long Tall Sally does, and Otto and Ivy has more named styles than you might expect at its top size.
We read Long Tall Sally’s flats and Evans’ flats at 12 in a browser on 31 October 2026, including each product’s size grid. Crispins Shoes’ and Otto and Ivy’s store data and Marks and Spencer’s filters were read directly the same day, and Crispins Shoes’ data was cut off part way. Next’s and Yours’ lists come from filters read on 30 October, before Next refused further reads. Otto and Ivy labels shoes in EU sizes, so its UK 12 is our reading. We have left Very out, because its size filter showed items not available in that size. Delivery and returns terms were read on 30 October. We did not check prices, and availability changes daily.

Everything here sits on a shop’s women’s pages. Marks and Spencer’s Birkenstock mules are unisex-sized, and any Dr. Martens at Next would be too. Yours, Evans and part of Next’s list show the same Long Tall Sally shoes, in Standard Fit, so counts of shops overstate the choice. LTS is short for Long Tall Sally. “Not checked” means we did not record that detail. Delivery and returns are the standard UK terms read on 30 October 2026, as shown in search results where marked.
The shops in more detail
Long Tall Sally
Long Tall Sally has several ballerina pumps at 12 and one faux suede tassel loafer. We read each size grid in a browser, and 12 was available or running low on all of them. The filter also holds a low block heel velvet pump and a canvas trainer, which are not flats. Everything is Standard Fit. Its chart gives 296 mm, EU 45 and US 14. Delivery is free from £40 (£2.99 below), and returns within 28 days are free in store or £1.99 by drop-off or collection through its returns portal.

Otto and Ivy
Otto and Ivy's store data showed the Molly ballet flat, the Bonnie Mary Jane in Tan, the Harriet in Taupe, and the Penny in Burgundy and Latte at 46, available on 31 October. Forty-six is the top of its range. It labels shoes in EU sizes, so UK 12 is our reading: use its sizing on the product page before ordering. It offers next working day delivery to the UK, though the page we read showed no charges. Returns within 30 days have £5 deducted from the refund, with one free size exchange per UK order.

Crispins
Crispins Shoes' labels run to 12, and a few styles reach it: the MAM Iris flat in Burgundy, and the VM Glowy in Grey, VM Rays in Black and AM Prato in Brown and Tan loafers. The store data we read was cut off, so there may be more. Check each maker's name on the site. Its labels give EU 46 and US 14.5. Delivery is £6.50, free over £250. UK returns within 14 days must be unworn and are at your cost.

Marks and Spencer
Marks and Spencer has flats again at 12, after none at 10 or 11, and they are Birkenstock's: a few Naples suede mules, which are unisex-sized, and one suede lace-up in its loafers list. It has no ballet flat, and much of its mule list at 12 is Arizona sandals and clogs. Twelve is its largest size. Delivery is £3.99, free over £75, and returns within 28 days (14 for sale items) are free by post or in store, though orders under £10 or all-sale orders collected in store usually cannot be posted back.

Delivery is free from £40 (£2.99 below), and returns within 28 days are free in store or £1.99 by drop-off or collection through its returns portal.

They are Standard Fit, not wide, and the filter also shows a canvas trainer. Delivery is free from £40 (£2.99 below), and returns within 28 days are free to a Yours store or £1.99 by drop-off or collection through its returns portal.

Next
On 30 October Next had a few loafers and one ballerina at 12, in a list that included Long Tall Sally, Dr. Martens and Jones Bootmaker. It also held brogues, and we did not record which brand made which style. Dr. Martens' size guide stops women's sizes at 9, so any at 12 would be unisex sizing. Across all its shoes at 12 it showed one wide item, not identified. Its filter labels a UK 12 as EU 47. Next-day delivery is £4.95, or free to a store, and returns within 28 days are free in store or £2.50 by post.

Ballet pumps at size 12
Long Tall Sally’s several pumps are the core of what exists at this size, and Evans and Yours add no new styles. Otto and Ivy’s Molly is the one other ballet flat we can name. Next’s one ballerina was not named in our read. Marks and Spencer has none.
Loafers at size 12
Here the specialists lead. Otto and Ivy has the Harriet in Taupe and the Penny in Burgundy and Latte, and Crispins Shoes the VM Glowy, VM Rays and AM Prato. Next’s few on 30 October came from a list that included Long Tall Sally, Dr. Martens and Jones Bootmaker, but it also held brogues, and we did not record which brand made which style. Dr. Martens’ size guide stops women’s sizes at 9, so any at 12 would be unisex sizing. Long Tall Sally itself has one faux suede tassel loafer. Marks and Spencer’s loafers list is a single Birkenstock suede lace-up, which is not really a loafer.
Mules at size 12
Birkenstock’s Naples suede mule at Marks and Spencer is the one to know. Its mule list at 12 looks longer than it is, because most of it is Arizona sandals and clogs, plus a mule slipper. We do not count Birkenstock’s Boston, which is a clog.
Who stops below 12
- After 8 Shoes: its size links stop at UK 11, though one Andres Machado ballerina lists 46 EUR, which we have not counted.
- Cosyfeet: its women’s shoes filter stops at 10.
- Shoe Zone: only the unisex Wallabee and Adults EVA clogs.
- DB Wider Fit Shoes and Simply Be: both stop at 9, Simply Be as shown in search results.
How to measure your feet for size 12 flats
Long Tall Sally’s chart gives 296 mm for a women’s UK 12, against 288 mm for an 11. It is the one foot length we recorded at this size. We did not read whether Yours, Evans and Next size Long Tall Sally’s shoes to the same chart, so check each product page.
- Stand on paper with your heel touching a wall.
- Mark your longest toe on each foot in turn.
- Measure each mark from the wall, and compare the longer one with 296 mm.
Width fittings at size 12
Long Tall Sally’s flats at 12 are all Standard Fit, and its chart gives a joint girth of 270 mm. Evans’ list is Standard Fit too. Across all its women’s shoes, Next showed one wide item at 12, which we did not identify. Otto and Ivy uses W for wider fittings, but we did not confirm one at 46. We could not confirm a wide flat at this size.
UK 12 in EU and US sizes
| Shop | EU | US | Foot length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Tall Sally | 45 | 14 | 296 mm |
| Crispins Shoes (size label) | 46 | 14.5 | Not given |
| Otto and Ivy (site heading, approximate) | 46 | 14 | Not given |
| Next (filter label) | 47 | Not given | Not given |
That is three EU numbers for one UK size, and Next’s filter skips EU 46, so go by foot length and each brand’s own sizing. For Otto and Ivy, use its sizing on the product page.

Why is Marks and Spencer listed at 12 but not at 10 or 11?
