Size 8 Flip-Flops for Women: Where to Buy in the UK
Quick answer: UK 8 has the widest choice we found: 18 shops. True flip-flops include Havaianas’ Slim in its doubled 41/42, Crocs’ Crocband Flip, and REEF and Teva styles at Marks and Spencer. FitFlop, Birkenstock and Shoe Zone’s Lilley range are toe posts. Wide (E) and Extra Wide (EEE) fits are toe-post sandals, at Simply Be and JD Williams, and at 8EEE only at Yours, Evans and Long Tall Sally.

Eight is the top of the line for several shops and an ordinary size for the rest. That makes the count of 18 a little flattering. Joules’ Sunvale stops here, as shown in search results, and Simply Be and JD Williams run out of items under their Flip Flop filters, leaving only toe posts at 9. Long Tall Sally, Yours and Evans have no true flip-flop to show, only a shared group of Yours Woven Toe Post Sandals at 8EEE. Pavers is down to one size 8 on a Skechers toe post in navy. What you find also differs by shop: several brands at Next and Office, a wide toe post at Simply Be, and a single style at Crispins Shoes.
We checked each shop’s own website on 31 October 2026. Flip-flop and toe-post filters were read at Simply Be, JD Williams, Next, Very, Marks and Spencer and Office, product pages at FitFlop, Crocs, Birkenstock, Pavers and ASOS, and size grids at Long Tall Sally. Crispins Shoes was read from its store data. Havaianas’ chart is an image, so its UK figures come through search results, and Joules was read that way too. Next and Very refused further reads part way through. Delivery and returns terms were read on 30 or 31 October. We did not check prices, and availability changes daily.

We count toe-post and thong sandals, and the Type column says which is which. Slides do not count. Yours, Evans and Long Tall Sally’s toe posts come only in EEE at this size. “Not checked” means we did not record that detail. Delivery and returns are the standard UK terms read on 30 or 31 October 2026, as shown in search results where marked.
The shops in more detail
Simply Be
Eight is where Simply Be's Flip Flop filter ends in practice. It holds Havaianas Top Tropicalia Vibes II, Melissa Flip Flow, and FitFlop Solay and Lulu toe posts, in Standard Fit (D) where stated, along with a Rocket Dog webbing toe post wedge. Its Toe Post filter goes on to 9, and at 8 it lists toe posts in Wide (E) and Extra Wide (EEE). Standard delivery is £4.99. Returns within 28 days are free through its own return options, though exceptions apply and other carriers are at your cost.

JD Williams
JD Williams' Flip Flop filter also stops at 8. It showed FitFlop's Solay and Platforms Wedge, a Tan Lulu Toe-Post, Melissa Flip Flow and the Rocket Dog wedge. FitFlop and Melissa are Standard Fit (D), and the toe posts under its separate filter come in Wide (E) and Extra Wide (EEE). Standard delivery is £3.99, and returns within 28 days are free through its own return options.

Next
Next's Flip Flop filter at 8 mixes Havaianas Square and Slim, its own Square Toe Flip Flops, the Totes Solbounce Toe Post, FitFlop's Lulu Toe Post and Birkenstock's Gizeh. It also shows a Forever Comfort mule, which is not a flip-flop. Next labels a UK 8 as EU 42. It refused further reads, so this is what we saw before that. 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.

Office
Office's filter lists Havaianas Slim, Archies, Crocs Getaway, TKEES and its own toe-post styles at 8. We read the filter rather than each product, and we did not read how Office sizes Havaianas. Delivery is £3.99, free over £80, not counting sale items. Returns within 28 days (14 for sale items) are free to a store, or £2.95 is deducted by courier.
- At 8
- Havaianas, Archies, Crocs
- Returns
- 28 days (14 for sale items); free in store, £2.95 by courier
Very
Very's filter at 8 showed Skechers' Asana Luxe Toe-Post, FitFlop's Solay and Iqushion, Ipanema Kirei and Guess Logo Badge flip-flops. A few other sandals have the same tag, so read each title. Very refused further reads, so this is what we saw before that. Standard delivery is £3.99, free from £75, and returns within 28 days are free if unused and in the original packaging.
- At 8

Marks and Spencer
Marks and Spencer listed a few styles at 8, and none was its own brand: White Stuff Suede Flat, Teva Olowahu and Strappy, Crocs Getaway, and REEF Cushion and Cushion Breeze. Its chart gives 262 mm and EU 42. 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.

Havaianas
Havaianas lists its women's Slim and the unisex Top as 41/42, but UK 8 does not sit cleanly on its chart, an image we read through search results. One list gives 39/40 as UK 6.5/7.5 and 41/42 as 8.5/9, and another puts 41/42 at about 7.5/8. Use the shop's own chart rather than a UK number. Its site banner offers free delivery over £50, and we did not read the charge below that. Returns within 30 days must be unworn and unwashed with tags, and £4.90 is deducted for a drop-off return or £7.00 for a home pickup.

Crocs
The Crocband Flip sits on Crocs' women's flip-flops page, with a Women's UK size tab from 4 to 10 in whole sizes. Navy was not greyed out at 8. We did not open its other flips at this size. UK delivery is £4.95, and product pages offer free delivery from £39.99, though its FAQ gives no threshold. Returns within 30 days of delivery are free with a prepaid Royal Mail label, except final sale items.

ASOS
ASOS shows the Crocband Flip in black as a joint UK 8-9, and that size was available. The seller and shipper is Gardiner Bros, so check the terms on the page. We did not read ASOS's other flip-flops at 8. ASOS's own delivery is £4.50, free over £40 or with Premier. Its returns within 28 days are free for account holders under its Fair Use Policy, and £3.95 for guest orders.
- At 8
- Joint 8-9

Joules
As shown in search results, Joules' Sunvale Cream Floral Printed Flip Flops list sizes 3 to 8, and its Shop By Size filter stops at 8. Some sizes on that listing were marked sold out, we could not confirm an 8, and some results are old. We could not confirm its delivery or returns terms, so read them before ordering.
- At 8
- Sunvale, not confirmed

Birkenstock
Birkenstock's Gizeh Birko-Flor in black lists 8 (EU 42), and Mayari thong sandals also reach this size. Both are toe posts, and the filter offers regular and narrow widths. We could not read availability by size on the page, though the filter shows thong sandals at 8. Standard delivery is by Royal Mail, free for members over £100, and we did not read the charge for non-members. The product page offers free returns within 30 days.
- At 8
- Gizeh, Mayari
- EU label

FitFlop
FitFlop's women's Lulu Leather Toe-Posts run from 3 to 9, and white could be picked at 8. Standard delivery is free over £99, and we did not read the charge below that. Returns and exchanges are free on all orders, but we did not read the return window.
- At 8
- Lulu Leather Toe-Posts
- Returns
- Free; window not read
Shoe Zone
As shown in search results, Shoe Zone's toe posts include the Lilley Black Flat Strappy Toe Post Sandal. We read this style at 9 on the shop's own list and inferred the 8 from it, as we did not open the toe-post page. Home delivery is next day, free from £10 (£2.99 below). Unworn returns are accepted within 12 months, free to a store or £2.50 by post.
- At 8
- Lilley toe posts
- Returns
- 12 months, unworn; free to a store, £2.50 by post
Crispins Shoes
One toe post was available at 8, the Gabor Spiritual in black leather. This was the only size left on it, so treat it as last pairs. Standard delivery is £6.50, free over £250. UK returns within 14 days must be unworn, and they are at your cost, as it offers no free return service.
- At 8
- Gabor Spiritual, black
- Returns
- 14 days, at your cost
Pavers
Pavers' women's flip-flops page holds one Skechers toe post in three colours. On the On-The-Go 600 Vacay in navy, 8 was the only size left, so treat it as last pairs. We did not open the aqua or black. Standard delivery is £3.99, or free to a Pavers store. Returns within 45 days are free to a store; by post, £2.50 is deducted from the refund unless you bought Returns Paid at checkout.
- At 8
- One style, navy
- Returns
- 45 days; free to a store, £2.50 by post
Long Tall Sally
Long Tall Sally's search finds no flip-flops or thong sandals. What it lists are Yours Woven Toe Post Sandals in Extra EEE Wide Fit, and 8EEE is the largest size available: white, with blue and chocolate brown running low. Tracked delivery is free from £40 (£2.99 below). Returns within 28 days must be clean and unworn with tags, free in store or £1.99 by drop-off or collection through its returns portal.
- At 8
- 8EEE toe posts only
- Returns
- 28 days; free in store, £1.99 via returns portal
Yours
Yours lists the same Woven Toe Post Sandals at 8EEE. A search for flip flop finds only an Evans faux fur flip flop slipper, which is a slipper rather than a sandal. Tracked delivery is free from £40 (£2.99 below). Returns within 28 days must be clean and unworn with tags, free in store or £1.99 by drop-off or collection through its returns portal.
- At 8
- 8EEE toe posts only
- Returns
- 28 days; free in store, £1.99 via returns portal
Evans
Evans shows the same Yours toe posts at 8EEE, and these are toe-post sandals rather than flip-flops. Blue and chocolate brown were running low. Tracked delivery is free from £40 (£2.99 below). Returns within 28 days must be clean and unworn with tags, free to a Yours store or £1.99 by drop-off or collection through its returns portal.
- At 8

Who stops at 8
- Joules: its Shop By Size filter ends here, as shown in search results.
- Long Tall Sally, Yours and Evans: the White Woven Toe Post lists 9EEE, but it was sold out.
- Pavers: we could not confirm a 9, as the navy Skechers does not offer one and we did not open the other colours.
- Simply Be and JD Williams: their Flip Flop filters end here, leaving only toe posts at 9.
Our size 9 flip-flops guide covers the shops that go on.
Toe posts or true flip-flops at 8
Both are easy to find at this size, and that does not last. True flip-flops here include Havaianas, the Crocband Flip, Next’s Square Toe and the brand styles at Marks and Spencer. Toe posts include Birkenstock’s Gizeh and Mayari, FitFlop’s Lulu, the Totes Solbounce at Next and Skechers’ Asana Luxe at Very. Clarks is left out for a related reason. Its Sliders and Flip Flops page holds items at 8, but we did not read which are toe posts, so we could not confirm one. DB Wider Fit Shoes showed no toe post among the product names we read, though we saw only part of its list. Otto and Ivy and After 8 Shoes have none in their sandal collections.
Wide fits at size 8
Wide fits here are toe posts. Simply Be and JD Williams list them in Wide (E) and Extra Wide (EEE), while FitFlop and Melissa on the same sites are Standard Fit (D). The shared Yours Woven Toe Post comes only in Extra EEE Wide Fit. Yours’ chart gives a joint of 252 mm for E and 264 mm for EEE at UK 8, and Marks and Spencer’s gives 256 mm for Standard (D) and 265 mm for Wide Fit (E). Birkenstock’s filter offers regular and narrow. We did not record a fit for the Crocband Flip or for Havaianas.
Half sizes around 8
Crocs lists whole sizes only. ASOS’s Crocband Flip comes as a joint 8-9. Havaianas leaves UK 8 between rows on one list, because its sizes are doubled. We did not read an 8.5 at any shop on this page.
How to measure your feet for size 8 flip-flops
Marks and Spencer gives 262 mm for a UK 8, and so do Long Tall Sally and Yours. These are general women’s charts, not flip-flop charts.
- Stand on paper with your heel to a wall, barefoot, as you would wear flip-flops.
- Mark your longest toe on both feet and measure in millimetres.
- Compare with the brand’s own chart, as Havaianas and Birkenstock label sizes in their own way.
UK 8 in EU and US sizes
| Shop | EU | US | Foot length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marks and Spencer | 42 | Not given | 262 mm |
| JD Williams and Simply Be | 42 | 10 | Not given |
| Next (filter label) | 42 | Not given | Not given |
| Birkenstock (Gizeh) | 42 | Not given | Not given |
| Long Tall Sally | 41 | 10 | 262 mm |
| Yours | 41 | 10 | 262 mm |
Long Tall Sally and Yours call a UK 8 EU 41, one lower than the others, so go by the UK size and each shop’s own chart.
Our picks for size 8

Frequently asked questions
Which shops list women's flip-flops in size 8?
We found 18. True flip-flops are at Next, Office, Marks and Spencer, Crocs, ASOS and Havaianas, among others, and toe posts at Birkenstock, FitFlop, Shoe Zone, Simply Be and JD Williams.
Is a Havaianas 41/42 a UK 8?
We cannot say. One list on its site gives 41/42 as UK 8.5/9 and another as about 7.5/8, and its chart is an image we read through search results. Use the shop's chart.
Are there extra wide flip-flops at size 8?
Extra wide styles at this size are toe-post sandals. Simply Be and JD Williams list them in EEE, and Long Tall Sally, Yours and Evans share the Yours Woven Toe Post at 8EEE.
Does Long Tall Sally list flip-flops?
We found none. Its search finds only Yours Woven Toe Post Sandals, at 8EEE when we checked.
Does Clarks list flip-flops at 8?
We could not confirm it. Its Sliders and Flip Flops page holds items at 8, but we did not read which are toe posts, so Clarks is not in the table.
Shops were checked on their own websites on 31 October 2026, and delivery and returns terms on 30 or 31 October 2026. Where we say so, details come from a shop’s own pages as shown in search results. We did not check Amazon UK’s listings.
