Large Flip-Flops 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 18 and 13 shops, though many offer toe-post sandals rather than true flip-flops. At 10 the true flip-flops are Havaianas’ women’s Slim as 43/44, Crocs’ Crocband Flip, on its own site and at ASOS, and one Next style. At 11 and 12 there are single styles: a Crocband Flip at ASOS at 11, label not read, a thong sandal and a toe post at Crispins Shoes, and Havaianas’ doubled sizes. At 13 we found one unisex style, the Havaianas Top as 45/46, a doubled size charted as UK 12/13, so a true 13 fit is not promised.

Flip-flops run out early on women’s pages. Most high street ranges stop at 8 or 9, and much of what is left at 9 is a toe-post sandal rather than a true flip-flop. Above 10 the list is a handful of single styles, and by 12 the one true flip-flop is a unisex Havaianas. We count toe-post and thong sandals, and name them as toe posts. We do not count slides, because they are a different shoe, even when shops file them under the same filters: adidas slides appear on women’s pages at Next up to 12 and at ASOS at 13. This guide shows which is which at every size, and what is women’s and what is unisex.

We checked each shop’s own website on 31 October 2026: flip-flop and toe-post filters, product pages, size grids at Long Tall Sally, and store data at Crispins Shoes. Next and Very refused further reads part way through, so their details are what we saw before that. Havaianas’ size chart is an image, so the UK sizes we give for it rest on search result text and our 30 October read. Joules and part of Shoe Zone’s range were also read through search results. Delivery and returns terms were read on 30 or 31 October. We did not check prices, and availability changes daily.

The largest size is the biggest flip-flop or toe-post size we could confirm at each shop, on a women’s page. Sold-out sizes do not count. Havaianas’ UK sizes rest on a chart read through search results. “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

Havaianas

Havaianas' women's flip-flops filter runs from 23/24 to 47/48 in doubled Brazilian sizes. The women's Slim stops at 43/44, charted as UK 10/11, as shown in search results. The Top, which its own page calls a core unisex style, sits on the same women's page and is listed to 47/48. We confirmed 45/46 as available, charted as UK 12/13, so that is the largest we count. 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.

Crispins Shoes

Crispins' large-size women's sandals hold the women's styles that go furthest. It has the Gabor Spiritual toe post in black at 8 and in white at 9 and 12, and a flat thong sandal, the Diamonte Rosso Hawaii in tan, at 11. No toe post was available at 10, and the other toe-post styles we checked were sold out in every size. Treat these as last pairs rather than a range. 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.

ASOS

ASOS shows a Crocs Crocband Flip in black under women's sandals, from a joint 8-9 up to 11, though we did not read how it labels the 11. At 12 it was sold out. 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.

Crocs

Crocs' Crocband Flip has a Women's UK size tab from 4 to 10, in whole sizes only, with a separate Men's tab that we did not read. It sits on the shop's women's flip-flops page. We did not open Crocs' other flips, so 10 is the top of this one style. 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.

Next

Next's Flip Flop filter holds Havaianas, its own Square Toe Flip Flops, and Totes and FitFlop toe posts at 8. By 9 the list is a few, with a Vionic Eva Wide Fit Toe Post among them, and at 10 it is one Arch Support style. At 11 and 12 it shows only adidas slides. Next 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.

Birkenstock

Birkenstock's women's thong sandals filter runs from UK 2.5 to 11.5 (EU 35 to 46), in regular and narrow widths. Gizeh and Mayari thong sandals list 8 and 9, though we could not read availability by size. Above 9 its labels are half sizes, 9.5, 10.5 and 11.5, with no whole 10 or 11, so it counts at 8 and 9 only. 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.

FitFlop

FitFlop's women's Lulu Leather Toe-Posts list UK 3 to 9, and white could be picked at both 8 and 9. The Shop By Size menu we read also stops at 9, although that was the outlet menu and we did not open the others. 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.

Simply Be

Simply Be's Flip Flop filter runs to 8 in practice, with Havaianas, Melissa Flip Flow and FitFlop in Standard Fit (D) where stated. Its Toe Post filter runs to 9, with the Valencia, Carlota and Paola in Wide (E) and Extra Wide (EEE). Sliders have a filter of their own. At 10 to 12 its sandal list held only Crocs clogs. 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.

Marks and Spencer

Marks and Spencer's Flip Flops category holds items to 9, including toe thong sandals. It listed a few from White Stuff, Teva, Crocs and REEF at 8, none its own brand, and a few from Teva, Crocs and REEF at 9. 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.

JD Williams’ filters match Simply Be’s, with FitFlop, Melissa and Rocket Dog styles at 8 and wide toe posts to 9. Office and Shoe Zone reach 9, and Very has one wide fit thong wedge there. Joules, Pavers, Long Tall Sally, Yours and Evans stop at 8, as our size 8 guide shows. Clarks’ sliders and flip-flops page holds items at 8, but we could not confirm a toe post among them, so it is not in the table. DB Wider Fit Shoes showed no toe post in the part of its list we read, and Otto and Ivy and After 8 Shoes have none in their sandal collections.

Shop by size

Each size guide compares the shops that list flip-flops or toe posts in that size, with fits, half sizes, and EU and US sizes from the shops’ own charts.

Women's flip-flops

  • Size 8: 18 shops, the widest choice, with most of the true flip-flops we found.
  • Size 9: 13 shops, and toe posts only at seven of them.
  • Size 10: 4 shops: Crocs, ASOS, Havaianas and one style at Next.
  • Size 11: 3 shops: a Crocband Flip at ASOS, label not read, a flat thong sandal at Crispins Shoes, and Havaianas’ doubled size.
  • Size 12: 2 shops: a Gabor toe post at Crispins Shoes and the unisex Havaianas Top.
  • Size 13: 1 shop: the unisex Havaianas Top as 45/46, with no true 13 promised.

Buying big flip-flops: what we learned

Flip-flop, toe post or slide

We treat flip-flops and toe posts as one family and say which is which. Birkenstock’s Gizeh and Mayari, FitFlop’s Lulu, Shoe Zone’s Lilley styles and Crispins’ Gabor Spiritual are toe posts. Slides do not count, however a shop files them. Next’s Flip Flop filter also tags a few mules and sliders, and Simply Be gives sliders a filter of their own.

Women’s-labelled or unisex

Up to 10 nearly everything we list sits in a women’s range. Above that the label gets thin. Havaianas’ women’s Slim stops at 43/44, and what lies above is the Top, which its own page calls a core unisex style. The Crocband Flip at ASOS at 11 sits under women’s sandals, but Crocs’ own Women’s tab stops at 10, and we did not read how ASOS labels that size. Crispins Shoes lists large-size women’s sandals, so its thong sandal at 11 and toe post at 12 are the women’s styles that go furthest. An item labelled men’s never counts here.

Doubled sizes at Havaianas

Havaianas sizes come in pairs, and its chart is an image that we read through search results. One list gives 41/42 as UK 8.5/9, 43/44 as 10/11, 45/46 as 12/13 and 47/48 as 14/15, and our 30 October read agrees. A second list on another product page gives about 7.5/8, 9/10 and 11/12 for 41/42 to 45/46. The two differ by one UK size, so use the shop’s own chart. UK 8 sits between rows on the first list, and 11 and 13 are the top half of a doubled size.

Wide and narrow fits

Wide fits in this type are toe posts. Simply Be and JD Williams list them in Wide (E) and Extra Wide (EEE) to 9, and Long Tall Sally, Yours and Evans share the Yours Woven Toe Post at 8EEE. Next has a Vionic Eva at 9, and Very a wide fit thong wedge. Birkenstock’s filter offers regular and narrow. Above 9 we could not confirm a wide fit: Next’s one style at 10 is Standard Fit, and we recorded no fit for anything above that.

Listed, but not there to buy

Some sizes exist on paper only. The White Woven Toe Post lists 9EEE and 10EEE, but both were sold out at Long Tall Sally, Yours and Evans. ASOS’s Crocband Flip was sold out at 12, and Pavers had only an 8 left on its navy Skechers toe post. We count none of the sold-out sizes, so check that yours can be picked before you plan around a pair.

Filters that mislead

Choosing Flip Flop at size 9 at Simply Be or JD Williams falls back to the whole sandal list, and Very’s filter does the same at 10. Next’s filter at 11 and 12 returned nothing, leaving adidas slides. Very’s sandal filter at 11 to 13 showed adidas sliders whose product pages stop at 8. If a list looks long at a large size, read the titles. Schuh’s sale filters show sizes to 12 in search results, but we could not read the shop, so it is not in our table.

Half sizes are rare

Crocs lists whole sizes only. Birkenstock’s labels above 9 are 9.5, 10.5 and 11.5, and it has no whole 10 or 11. Havaianas’ doubled sizes are a system of their own. We did not read half sizes at the other shops.

Returns differ a lot

FitFlop’s returns and exchanges are free, though we did not read the window, and Birkenstock’s page offers free returns within 30 days. Crocs’ are free within 30 days, except final sale items. Havaianas deducts £4.90 or £7.00 from your refund. Crispins Shoes has no free return service, and its window is 14 days. Marks and Spencer’s are free within 28 days (14 for sale items), though orders under £10 or all-sale orders collected in store usually cannot be posted back.

Frequently asked questions

What is the largest women's flip-flop size in the UK?

We found 13, but only as the unisex Havaianas Top in 45/46, a doubled size charted as UK 12/13, so a true 13 is not promised. The largest women's style we found is the Gabor Spiritual toe post at Crispins Shoes, at 12.

Do Havaianas come in large women's sizes?

The women's Slim stops at 43/44, charted as UK 10/11, as shown in search results. Above that the Top is a unisex style on the same women's page. A second list on Havaianas' site puts these one UK size lower, so read its chart.

Are toe-post sandals the same as flip-flops?

Not quite, but we count them here and name them. Birkenstock's Gizeh, FitFlop's Lulu and Crispins' Gabor Spiritual are toe posts. Slides do not count.

Which shops list wide fit toe posts?

Simply Be and JD Williams list them in Wide (E) and Extra Wide (EEE) to 9, and Next has a Vionic Eva Wide Fit Toe Post at 9. We could not confirm a wide fit above 9.

Does Marks and Spencer list flip-flops above 9?

No. Its Flip Flops category stops at 9, with a few brand styles at 8 and 9.

Does Long Tall Sally list flip-flops?

We found none. Its search finds only Yours Woven Toe Post Sandals, at 8EEE when we checked.

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.
