Large Boots for Women: UK Size 8 to 13

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

Quick answer: at UK 8 and 9 you can choose from 22 shops, in ankle, Chelsea and knee-high boots, with wide fits and calf sizes. Nine is where most of the high street stops. At 10 to 12, boots of their own come from Long Tall Sally, Crispins Shoes and Otto and Ivy, with ASOS DESIGN and After 8 Shoes up to 11, while Dr. Martens’ are unisex. At 13 we found a few Long Tall Sally boots and unisex Dr. Martens, and no wide fit.

Large women’s boots run out in steps. Up to 9 you can shop almost anywhere, in almost any style. At 9, Simply Be, JD Williams, Hotter, Pavers, DB Wider Fit Shoes, Cosyfeet, Dune London and Clarks all end, and Marks and Spencer’s own brand has already gone. At 10, the E and EEE fittings end. At 11 and 12, the high street’s boots are largely one range, Long Tall Sally’s, or unisex. By 13 there are a few styles left. This guide covers ankle, Chelsea, knee-high and riding boots. Walking boots and safety boots have their own guides, linked at the end.

We checked each shop’s own website on 31 October 2026, using boot listings, size filters, store data, product pages and size guides. Many high street sites would not open for us, so much of what we say about 8 and 9 comes from their own pages as shown in search results, and we say so on each size page. Long Tall Sally, Yours, Evans, Next and ASOS were read in a browser at their largest sizes, and Next refused further reads part way through. Very refused too, and its size filter had shown items not available in that size, so we have left it out at 10 and above. After 8 Shoes and Otto and Ivy label boots in EU sizes, so their UK sizes are often our reading. Delivery and returns terms were read on 30 October. We did not check prices, and availability changes daily.

The largest size is the biggest boot size we could confirm at each shop, with a note where little was available. Widths are the fittings each shop lists for boots across these sizes. “Not checked” means we did not record that detail for boots. 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's boots run from 3 to 13, as shown in search results, and it is the only shop we found with its own women's range at 12 and 13. Its boots are Standard Fit; the E and EEE sizes, to 10, come from Yours and Evans brands. At 12 it had knee-high, riding, Chelsea, ankle and over-the-knee boots, most running low, and at 13 a few. 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.

ASOS

ASOS's boots filter runs to 13, but what is behind it changes. ASOS DESIGN's ankle, Chelsea, riding and knee boots stop at 11, and at 12 and 13 the list is unisex Dr. Martens, plus Kickers at 12. Hunter unisex wellingtons are mixed in from 10. It also has a wide calf boots page. Delivery is £4.50, free over £40. Returns within 28 days are free for account holders under its Fair Use Policy; guest orders cost £3.95 to return.

Dr. Martens

Dr. Martens' size guide puts women's sizes at 3 to 9 and unisex at 3 to 12, and its Women's Boots filter runs on to 15. So its boots above 9 are unisex styles shown under women's. The 1460 Smooth Leather in black lists 13, with 14 and 15 showing Notify me. Dr. Martens says unisex is wider than women's, and it has no width options. Delivery is £3.95, free over £90, and its product pages offer 30-day free returns; we did not read the full terms.

Crispins

Crispins Shoes' boots collection is labelled UK 8 to 12, with half sizes of 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 on many boots. It has a size 10 boots page with a long list, and a short one at 12. Delivery is £6.50, free over £250. UK returns within 14 days must be unworn and are at your cost.

Otto and Ivy

Otto and Ivy's site gives UK 8 to 12 as Euro 42 to 46, with W marking a wider fitting. Its Evelyn, Victoria, Marnie, Isla, Tilly and Bryher boots run up to 46. It labels boots in EU sizes, so the UK size for each is our reading; use its sizing on the product page. 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.

After 8 Shoes

After 8 Shoes is a specialist in women's large sizes, with UK 8 to 11 and EUR 42 to 45. It lists ankle, long and snow boots, and its UK 11 page held Chelsea, biker and ankle styles. It labels most styles in EUR, so the UK size is often our reading: use the shop's own sizing on the product page. As shown in search results, tracked delivery is £4.95 for the first pair and £1 for each extra pair, and returns within 14 days are free by Royal Mail label if unworn and in the original packaging.

As shown in search results, Next lists many brands at 8 and 9, in wide and extra wide fits. At 11 and 12 its list was Long Tall Sally plus unisex Dr. Martens 1460 and Brookline, and at 13 one Long Tall Sally riding boot. Next refused further reads part way through, 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.

Its sizing differs from other shops: its UK 10 is an EU 43, with a foot length of up to 270 mm. As shown in search results, UK delivery is free on full-priced footwear. Its returns terms conflict between its own pages, so read them before you order.

Shoe Zone, Pavers, Hotter, Clarks and Dune London also list boots up to 9, and Debenhams to 10, as our size 9 boots guide shows. Very and Schuh appear in the size 8 guide.

Shop by size

Each size guide compares the shops that list boots in that size, with widths, calf fits, and EU and US sizes from the shops’ own charts.

Women's boots

  • Size 8: 22 shops, the widest choice, and the last size with Marks and Spencer’s own boots.
  • Size 9: 22 shops, but the last size for most of them, including Super Curvy knee-highs and 6E fittings.
  • Size 10: 12 shops, and the last size for E and EEE fittings and for DuoBoots.
  • Size 11: 10 shops, from five ranges of their own plus unisex Dr. Martens.
  • Size 12: 9 shops, mostly Long Tall Sally’s boots, with a few from Crispins Shoes and Otto and Ivy.
  • Size 13: 6 shops, showing a few Long Tall Sally boots and unisex Dr. Martens.

Buying big boots: what we learned

Read whether a boot is women’s or unisex

Dr. Martens’ size guide sets women’s sizes at 3 to 9 and unisex at 3 to 12, so above 9 its boots are unisex even under a women’s heading, on its own site and at Marks and Spencer, ASOS and Next. At ASOS’s largest size every boot was Dr. Martens, nearly all titled unisex. We do not count items labelled men’s, and some filters hold them: Clarks’ women’s filter shows only men’s items above 9, and Cosyfeet’s mixed boots page at 11 is all men’s.

Most boots at 12 and 13 are one brand

Long Tall Sally, Yours Clothing and Evans share a catalogue, and Next lists Long Tall Sally’s boots. So four shops at 12 and 13 can mean one range. If you have found a boot you like, compare delivery and returns rather than hunting for another version of it. Crispins Shoes and Otto and Ivy are the only others with boots of their own at 12, and both stop there.

Knee-highs and wide calves

Knee-highs are easy to find up to 9, and Marks and Spencer’s stop there, apart from Hunter wellies. Above 9, Long Tall Sally is the main source, up to 13, and Yours’ knee-high range goes to 10. For calves, DuoBoots gives eight sizes in centimetres, up to UK 10, and Simply Be and JD Williams use Curvy and Super Curvy, up to 9. Yours has an XL calf range, and its chart puts figures on it: at UK 10, 430 mm for E and 474 mm for EEE.

Ankle and Chelsea boots go furthest

Above 10, ankle and Chelsea boots are the easier shapes to find. After 8 Shoes has its Leila and Lourdes Chelsea boots at UK 11, ASOS DESIGN ankle and Chelsea styles at 10, and Long Tall Sally a kitten heel Chelsea boot right up to 13. Dr. Martens’ 2976 Chelsea boot reaches 13 at ASOS.

Wide feet

The widest labelled fittings we found were DB Wider Fit Shoes’ 6E-8E and Cosyfeet’s boots of about 6E, both ending at 9. Simply Be, JD Williams, Hotter and Pavers also stop at 9. Yours and Evans list E and EEE to 10, with fewer styles at 10 and some EEE stopping at 9. Above 10 there is very little, and Evans’ extra wide page saying 13EEE, as shown in search results, is not borne out by what it lists.

Check what a filter is showing

Shoe Zone’s boots filter runs to 12, but 10 to 12 hold one unisex snow boot. ASOS’s lists from 10 upwards include Hunter wellingtons, and at 12 they make up about half. Marks and Spencer’s boots category includes shoes such as the Dr. Martens 1461 Oxford. Add a style filter, or read each title.

Go by foot length, not the EU number

A UK 10 is EU 43 at Long Tall Sally, Yours and DuoBoots, EU 44 at Next and Crispins, and EU 45 at Dr. Martens. At 12 the labels run from EU 45 to EU 47. Long Tall Sally’s chart gives foot lengths from 262 mm at 8 to 304 mm at 13, and Dr. Martens’ from 27 cm to 32 cm. Those were the only two charts we recorded that cover all six sizes.

Returns differ a lot

Cosyfeet gives 90 days for free UK returns, and Very, Simply Be and JD Williams give 28 free days, each with its own conditions. Dr. Martens’ product pages offer 30-day free returns. Shoe Zone takes unworn boots back for 12 months, free to a store or £2.50 by post. Crispins Shoes gives 14 days at your cost, Otto and Ivy deducts £5, and Hotter deducts £2.95.

Frequently asked questions

What is the largest women's boot size I can buy in the UK?

We found 13. Long Tall Sally has a few boots of its own at 13, also listed at Yours, Evans and Next, and Dr. Martens has unisex boots at 13, on its own site and at ASOS. The 1460 lists 14 and 15, but both showed Notify me.

Where can I buy women's boots in size 11 or 12?

At 11: Long Tall Sally, ASOS DESIGN, Crispins Shoes, After 8 Shoes and Otto and Ivy. At 12: Long Tall Sally, Crispins Shoes and Otto and Ivy. Yours, Evans and Next list Long Tall Sally's boots at both sizes.

Are Dr. Martens women's boots above size 9?

No. Its size guide stops women's sizes at 9, and its boots above that are unisex styles shown in women's categories.

Which shops have wide calf boots in large sizes?

DuoBoots has eight calf sizes to UK 10. Simply Be and JD Williams have Curvy and Super Curvy calves to 9, and Pavers has a wide calf page to 9. Yours has an XL calf range.

Can I get wide fit boots above size 10?

Very few. Long Tall Sally's E and EEE sizes, and Yours' and Evans' own wide boots, stop at 10. ASOS listed UK 11 Wide on a few styles and UK 12 Wide on one, and Otto and Ivy has wider W fittings up to 46W on one boot.

Are the boots at Yours and Evans in 11 to 13 the same as Long Tall Sally's?

Yes. The three shops share a catalogue, and at plain sizes 11 to 13 Yours and Evans show Long Tall Sally boots. Next lists many of them too.

Shops were checked on their own websites on 31 October 2026, and delivery and returns terms on 30 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.
