Large Flats for Women: UK Size 8 to 13

Quick answer: at UK 8 and 9 we found 19 and 17 shops with flats, in ballet pumps, loafers and mules, and wide fits are easy to find. At 10 the list falls to seven: Long Tall Sally, Crispins Shoes, Otto and Ivy, After 8 Shoes, Yours, Evans and Next. Otto and Ivy and a few Crispins Shoes styles reach 12, as do Birkenstock mules at Marks and Spencer. At 13 it is a few Long Tall Sally pumps and loafers, on its own site and at Yours, Evans and Next.

This guide covers flats in the broad sense: ballet pumps, loafers and mules, with the Mary Janes and slip-ons that sit beside them at some shops. Large sizes thin out in three steps. Up to 9 the high street is with you, and Yours, Simply Be, JD Williams and DB Wider Fit Shoes add wide fittings. At 10 the list drops from 17 shops to seven, and E and EEE shrink to a few pumps and loafers. From 11 we could not confirm a wide flat at all, and much of what Yours, Evans and Next show is Long Tall Sally’s. We do not count clogs as flats, so Birkenstock’s Boston is left out, even where a shop’s list shows it.
We checked shops’ own websites on 30 and 31 October 2026. Marks and Spencer, Shoe Zone, DB Wider Fit Shoes, Crispins Shoes, After 8 Shoes and Otto and Ivy were read directly. Long Tall Sally at 12 and 13, Evans at 12 and 13, and Yours and Next at 13 were read in a browser, product by product, 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. Yours, Evans, Next, Very, ASOS, Simply Be, JD Williams, Clarks, Hotter, Pavers and Dr. Martens rest in part on their own pages as shown in search results, and we say so on each size page. After 8 Shoes and Otto and Ivy label many shoes 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 flat we could confirm at each shop, with a note where little was available. Two rows are weaker: ASOS’s 8 is inferred from its wide-fit flats category, as we could not read its size filter, and Clarks at 9 is a few women’s shoes that we could not separate into flats. Everything here sits on a shop’s women’s pages. Marks and Spencer’s Birkenstock mules are unisex-sized, and Dr. Martens’ list mixes women’s-labelled and unisex loafers. Half sizes for Next, Simply Be, JD Williams and Very come from their shoes filters, and Crispins Shoes’ from its boots and heels. 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
As shown in search results, Long Tall Sally's pages describe ballerina pumps in UK 4 to 13, and it is the one maker whose flats we could confirm at 13. We read its size grids at 12 and 13 in a browser: several ballerina pumps and a faux suede tassel loafer at 12, and a few pumps and faux suede loafers at 13, available or running low. Its flats filter also held a low block heel velvet pump and a canvas trainer at both sizes, which we do not count. Everything is Standard Fit, in whole sizes. 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.

Crispins
Crispins Shoes has Dressy Flat Shoes, Moccasin and Loafer, Ballerina and Mules collections, labelled UK 8 to 12. Most styles stop at 11, where its store data showed names such as the BR Wally, ELA Beady and PB Click. At 12 we found a few, such as the MAM Iris flat and the VM Rays loafer, though the data we read was cut off, so check the site. It has 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 on many boots and heels, but we did not read half sizes on its flats, so check each style. 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 Flats collection holds ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers and slingbacks labelled 42 to 46, and we saw no mules. The Molly ballet flat and the Harriet and Penny loafers run right up to 46, which we read as UK 12, and a W wider fitting shows on some styles at 43W. It labels shoes in EU sizes, so 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.

After 8 Shoes
After 8 Shoes' Flats collection is ballet pumps and slip-ons, with its size links stopping at UK 11. The Raven and Fenja 01 ballet pumps and the Ruffle Metallic are the names we found at the top, labelled EUR 44 and 45, which we read as UK 10 and 11. We did not find a size table, so use the sizing on each 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.

Yours Clothing
As shown in search results, Yours' own ballet pumps, loafers and mules come in E and EEE, and a few pumps reach 10EEE. Above 10 it shows Long Tall Sally's Standard Fit shoes from the shared catalogue, confirmed at 13 with a few faux suede pumps and tassel and metal trim loafers. 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.

Evans
As shown in search results, Evans' wide fit flats run to 10E, with a few pumps and loafers at that size. Above 10 it shares Long Tall Sally's Standard Fit shoes with Yours. Its page title at 11 says wide fit, but nothing at 11 was wide on 30 October. 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
As shown in search results, Next has its own and other brands' ballerinas and loafers at 8 and 9. Above that its list is mostly Long Tall Sally's, read on 30 October. Its few at 12 also came from Dr. Martens and Jones Bootmaker, though we did not record which were flats, and Dr. Martens' size guide stops women's sizes at 9, so any at 12 would be unisex sizing. At 13 we opened two Long Tall Sally items, and both could be ordered before Next refused further reads. 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.

Marks and Spencer
Marks and Spencer's own brand is in its loafer, ballet flat and mule lists at 8. At 9 those lists are other brands, its ballet flats stop, and at whole 10 and 11 we found no flats at all. At 12 it has a few Birkenstock Naples suede mules, which are unisex-sized. 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.

DB Wider Fit
DB Wider Fit Shoes has flats, pumps and loafers from UK 3 to 9, such as the Petula stretch flat, Diana loafer and Campbell dress ballerina. Its fittings run from 2E-4E to 6E-8E, the widest we found on a flat, and nothing goes above 9. Standard delivery is £6 up to 4 kg, with no free threshold listed. Returns within 30 days are free by Royal Mail with the label sent with the order, other couriers are at your cost, and shoes must be unworn and unmarked.

Simply Be
As shown in search results, Simply Be's flats run to 9, with wide and extra wide fits in each style. Vienna chunky loafers, Valetta cut out mules and Cedar bow ballet flats are among its EEE names at 9. JD Williams has a similar list, with the Butterfly, Nala and Drama loafers. Standard delivery is £4.99, and returns within 28 days are free through its own return options; other carriers are at your cost.

Shoe Zone
Shoe Zone's women's ballerinas and loafers stop at 9, with Lilley and Softlites names. Its Flats filter runs to 13, but above 9 that means one unisex Wallabee, and its mule list above 9 is Adults EVA clog sandals, so neither counts here. 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.
- Ballerinas, loafers
- To UK 9
- Above 9
- One unisex shoe
- Returns
- 12 months, unworn; free to a store, £2.50 by post
Cosyfeet, Dr. Martens, Pavers and Very list flats up to 9, Clarks had a few women’s shoes at 9 that we could not separate into flats, Hotter lists flats at 8, and ASOS’s 8 is inferred from its wide-fit category, as our size 9 and size 8 flats guides show.
Shop by size
Each size guide compares the shops that list flats in that size, with named styles, widths, half sizes, and EU and US sizes from the shops’ own charts.
- Size 8: 19 shops, and the largest size at which we found Marks and Spencer’s own brand.
- Size 9: 17 shops, with many named EEE pumps, loafers and mules.
- Size 10: 7 shops, with a few pumps and loafers left in 10E and 10EEE.
- Size 11: the same 7 shops, but four main ranges, and no wide fit we could confirm.
- Size 12: 7 shops, a few styles at each, with Birkenstock mules at Marks and Spencer.
- Size 13: 4 shops, all showing a few Long Tall Sally pumps and loafers.
Ballet pumps
Ballet pumps reach 13. Long Tall Sally has them at that size in black leather, hammered black and brown, and black and navy faux suede. Otto and Ivy’s Molly reaches 46, which we read as UK 12, and After 8 Shoes’ Raven and Fenja 01 reach 45, which we read as UK 11. Below that the names multiply: Shoe Zone’s Lilley ballerinas and Marks and Spencer’s Monsoon pumps at 9, DB Wider Fit Shoes’ Foxtail canvas pump and Campbell dress ballerina, and, as shown in search results, Simply Be’s Cedar and Abundance bow styles in EEE. Marks and Spencer’s ballet flats stop at 9, and as shown in search results Yours’ black ballerina and square toe pumps stop at 10EEE, running low.
Loafers
Loafers reach 13 too, and they are more varied above 10 than pumps. Crispins Shoes has several at 10 and 11, with the BR Mirage, BR Wally, VM Glowy and ELA Beady among them, and a few such as the VM Rays and AM Prato at 12. Otto and Ivy’s Harriet and Penny reach 46, which we read as UK 12. Long Tall Sally has one faux suede tassel loafer at 12 and a few faux suede loafers at 13. On 30 October Next’s few at 12 came from brands including Dr. Martens and Jones Bootmaker, though we did not record which were loafers, and Dr. Martens’ size guide stops women’s sizes at 9, so any at 12 would be unisex sizing. Yours has loafers to 10E and Evans has snaffle and quilted styles at 10E, both as shown in search results. At 8 and 9 you also have Lilley and Softlites at Shoe Zone, and the Diana, Bingham and Magnolia at DB Wider Fit Shoes.
Mules
Mules are the thinnest of the three above 9. Simply Be’s Valetta, JD Williams’ Aziza suede mule and Yours’ embroidered faux suede mule are named at 9, as shown in search results, and Marks and Spencer lists Birkenstock Naples and Steve Madden Rafe mules. Above that we can name Long Tall Sally’s mule sandals at 11 and the Birkenstock Naples at 12. Marks and Spencer’s mule filter also has 9.5 and 10.5, mostly Birkenstock, and no whole 10 or 11. Crispins Shoes has a Mules collection we did not read size by size. We saw no mules at Otto and Ivy, and found no separate mules page at Long Tall Sally.
Buying flats in big sizes: what we learned
Many flats at 11 to 13 are one brand
Long Tall Sally, Yours and Evans share a catalogue, and Next lists Long Tall Sally’s shoes. At 11 and 12, Yours and Evans show Long Tall Sally only, and at 13 all four shops show some of the same few pumps and loafers. So seven shops at 11 are really four main ranges, plus a few other brands at Next. If you find a shoe you like, compare delivery and returns rather than hunting for another version of it.
Filters can overstate
Shoe Zone’s Flats filter runs to 13, but above 9 it holds one unisex Wallabee. Marks and Spencer’s flat-heel filter at 10 shows only trainers, boots, Crocs clogs and sandals. Long Tall Sally’s flats filter at 12 and 13 includes a low block heel velvet pump and a canvas trainer. Cosyfeet’s list at 9 is mostly touch-fastening and lace shoes rather than pumps or loafers, so read each title.
Wide feet
The widest fittings we found were DB Wider Fit Shoes’ 6E-8E and Cosyfeet’s about 6E, and we could not confirm either above 9. Cosyfeet’s UK filter reaches 10 in a small selection, but we did not read which styles. Simply Be and JD Williams list EEE to 9, and Yours and Evans go on to 10E, with Yours also at 10EEE. Above that, Long Tall Sally’s flats are Standard Fit. Next’s filter showed a Long Tall Sally Wide-Fit ballerina at 13 that we could not open, so check it on the product page.
Half sizes
After 8 Shoes lists 8.5 and 9.5 on many UK-labelled styles. Crispins Shoes has 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 on many boots and heels, but we did not read half sizes on its flats, so check each style. Marks and Spencer has 9.5 and 10.5 in its loafer and mule filters, mostly Birkenstock, and no half size on ballet flats above 6.5. Long Tall Sally, Yours and Evans list whole sizes only.
Go by foot length, not the EU number
A UK 10 is EU 43 at Long Tall Sally and Yours, and EU 44 at Next and Crispins Shoes. At 12 the labels run from EU 45 to EU 47. At 13 Next’s filter says EU 48, while the size lists on its Long Tall Sally pump and loafer say EU 46. We did not find a size table at After 8 Shoes, and Otto and Ivy’s site gives UK 12 as EU 46, approximately. Long Tall Sally’s chart gives foot lengths from 262 mm at 8 to 304 mm at 13.
Returns differ a lot
Cosyfeet gives 90 days for free UK returns, with some items excluded. Shoe Zone takes unworn shoes back for 12 months, free to a store or £2.50 by post. Simply Be and JD Williams give 28 free days through their own return options. Crispins Shoes gives 14 days at your cost, Otto and Ivy deducts £5, and Hotter deducts £2.95. Marks and Spencer’s returns are free, but orders under £10 or all-sale orders collected in store usually cannot be posted back.
Frequently asked questions
What is the largest women's flat size in the UK?
We found 13, at Long Tall Sally: a few ballerina pumps and faux suede loafers, in Standard Fit. Yours, Evans and Next show some of the same shoes.
Where can I buy ballet pumps in size 11 or 12?
At 11: Long Tall Sally, Otto and Ivy's Molly at EU 45, and After 8 Shoes' Raven and Fenja 01 at EUR 45, both of which we read as UK 11, with Yours, Evans and Next showing Long Tall Sally's. At 12: Long Tall Sally, and the Molly at EU 46, which we read as UK 12. After 8 Shoes' size links stop at 11.
Which shops list loafers above size 10?
Crispins Shoes to 11, with a few at 12, Otto and Ivy's Harriet and Penny to 46, which we read as UK 12, and Long Tall Sally to 13. Next had a few at 12 on 30 October, but we did not record which brands they were, and any Dr. Martens at 12 would be unisex sizing.
Can I get wide fit flats above size 10?
We could not confirm one. Yours' and Evans' own wide flats stop at 10E or 10EEE, and Long Tall Sally's are Standard Fit. Next's filter showed one Long Tall Sally Wide-Fit ballerina at 13, which we could not open.
Are the flats at Yours and Evans in 11 to 13 the same as Long Tall Sally's?
Yes. Those shops share a catalogue, and above 10 Yours and Evans show Long Tall Sally's Standard Fit shoes. Next's list above 10 is mostly the same brand.
Do you count clogs as flats?
No. Birkenstock's Boston is a clog, so it is not in our flats counts. Birkenstock's Naples is a mule, and it counts at Marks and Spencer at 9 and 12.
Why are After 8 and Otto and Ivy sizes marked as our reading?
They label many shoes in EU sizes, and we read those as UK sizes. We did not find a size table at After 8, so use the sizing on its product pages. At Otto and Ivy, use its sizing on the product page too.
Shops were checked on their own websites on 30 and 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.
