Size 8 Heels for Women: Where to Buy in the UK

AI-generated illustration made for this guide, not a product from any shop listed.

Quick answer: a women’s UK 8 is still easy to find in heels. Yours Clothing and Evans list 8E and 8EEE as separate sizes, Next and ASOS list standard, wide and extra wide fittings, and Long Tall Sally, Very, Schuh, Clarks, Kurt Geiger, Hotter, Simply Be and Crispins Shoes all list an 8. Crispins and Kurt Geiger also list 8.5. Very’s heel-height filter at 8 runs from “up to 2.5 inch” to “6 inch and above”.

  • Shops compared12
  • EU size41 or 42
  • US size10 (10.5 at Crispins)
  • Foot length for UK 8About 262 mm

At 8 you are still well inside most heel ranges. The high street shops that stop early, such as Office, New Look, River Island, Marks and Spencer, Clarks and Hotter, still go one size further, to 9, so the choice at 8 is wide: block, kitten, slingback, strappy and platform heels from many brands. The real differences are in width and half sizes, and in how each shop converts a UK 8 into EU sizes.

We checked each shop’s own website on 30 October 2026: heels listings filtered to 8 where a filter link exists, the filter values and listing data in the pages, size guides, and delivery and returns pages. At Simply Be and Kurt Geiger we read the size 8 filter option but did not open the filtered page. Kurt Geiger’s and New Look’s delivery and returns terms come from their own pages as shown in search results. We did not check prices or live stock. We did not check Amazon UK’s listings.

Sizes are the range in each shop’s heels filter. Widths are the fittings we saw at 8; for Simply Be, Schuh and Hotter they are the fittings offered across their heels. “Not checked” means we did not record that detail for heels. Delivery and returns are the standard UK terms on 30 October 2026.

How to measure your feet for size 8 heels

Long Tall Sally, Yours Clothing and Marks and Spencer give 262 mm as the foot length for a women’s UK 8, and Clarks gives 263 mm. For Kurt Geiger and Crispins we recorded size labels only.

How to measure your foot length A foot on a sheet of paper with the heel against a wall. A line marks the tip of the longest toe, and the distance from the wall to that line is the foot length in millimetres. Wall Foot length, mm 1 Heel against the wall 2 Mark your longest toe 3 Measure wall to mark, both feet
Measure both feet in the evening, when they are at their largest, and use the longer one.
  1. Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, in the tights or pop socks you wear with heels.
  2. Mark the tip of your longest toe, keeping the pen upright.
  3. Measure from the wall to the mark in millimetres, on both feet, and use the longer one.
  4. Compare it with the chart of the shop you are buying from. Long Tall Sally’s and Yours Clothing’s charts put a UK 8 at 262 mm and a UK 9 at 271 mm.

Width fittings at size 8

Yours Clothing and Evans list 8E (Wide) and 8EEE (Extra Wide) as their own sizes; Yours’ chart gives a joint girth of 252 mm for E and 264 mm for EEE at UK 8. Marks and Spencer’s chart gives 256 mm for standard (D) and 265 mm for wide (E). Long Tall Sally gives one joint figure, 246 mm, without naming the fitting, and its own heels are Standard Fit; its wide heels at 8 are Yours-brand. Next lists heeled shoes at 8 in Standard, Wide and Extra Wide, and ASOS has UK 8 Wide and a few UK 8 Extra Wide styles.
