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

Quick answer: for men’s UK size 15 formal shoes, Walktall has the most choice we found: Barker, Sioux, Cheaney, NPS Solovair, Anatomic & Co. and its own Lisbon, Carnaby, Greenwich, Camden and Faro, in F, G and H fittings. Jacamo and JD Williams list own-brand brogues, Derbys, slip-ons and penny loafers, with the brogues in wide and extra wide, Base London has its Woburn XL brogue in Bordo and Black, and Poyter makes formal shoes to order. Barker and ECCO had very few styles available.

Fifteen is the last size with a real choice of formal shoes. It is the largest size at Jacamo, JD Williams, Barker, Base London and ECCO, and Samuel Windsor has already stopped at 14. Walktall still lists a wide spread of brands at 15, including Sioux’s H-fit lace-ups and a Cheaney, but from 16 the choice is mostly Walktall’s own range and Poyter’s made-to-order shoes.

We checked on 30 October 2026, using each shop’s own website: formal and smart listings filtered to 15, the shops’ product data where available, size guides, and delivery and returns pages. Walktall’s formal category was read directly; its returns terms are as shown in search results. We saw Sioux and Cheaney shoes at Walktall only, not on their own shops. We did not check prices. We did not check Amazon UK’s listings.

“Not checked” means we did not record that detail for this guide. Widths are the fittings shown on each shop’s formal shoes at 15; for Barker they are the fittings in its whole men’s range. Delivery and returns are the standard UK terms on 30 October 2026.

JD Williams' Smart filter also stops at 15, where it listed formal leather slip-ons, Derbys, brogues in wide and extra wide and suede penny loafers, the same own-brand range as Jacamo. Its shoes page title still says up to size 16, but 16 is not in the filter. Delivery is £3.99; returns are free within 28 days through its own return options.

Poyter

At 15, Poyter makes its formal styles to order apart from the Goodyear Classic range: Oxford cap toes, wholecuts, brogues, Derbys, saddle shoes, longwing bluchers, monks and loafers, in regular or wide, with 15.5 as well. Allow about 15 to 30 working days to make, plus delivery. Returns must be requested within 14 days. If the shoes do not fit, it remakes them free first; a refund after that costs you the return postage and £43, and made-to-order items are generally exempt from the usual cancellation rights.

ECCO

ECCO's largest size is EU 50, which it labels UK 14.5-15, and very few of its smart and formal shoes, such as the Helsinki 2, came in it when we checked. Its standard delivery is free and takes 6 to 10 business days; returns are free within 30 days with its prepaid label and go to a warehouse in Poland.

Amazon UK

We did not check Amazon UK's listings at size 15. Results depend on the brand and the seller; a UK 15 is US 16 on every chart on this page except ECCO, which gives 16-16.5. Most items can be returned within 30 days, but only items marked Free Returns are free to send back; otherwise the cost may be deducted.

  • Walktall: its size 15 formal results also include Ecco casual shoes and Jomos sneakers, so check each product.
  • Shops that stop earlier: Samuel Windsor at 14, and Next, Loake and Clarks at 13.

How to measure your feet for size 15 formal shoes

Jacamo’s and JD Williams’ charts give 323 mm for a UK 15, and both end at that size. Poyter’s chart gives 311.6 mm, but it runs about one size behind most UK charts. That is more than a centimetre between charts for the same size, so use the chart of the shop you buy from.

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. Lay a sheet of paper on a hard floor against a wall and stand on it with your heel touching the wall.
  2. Ask someone to mark just past your longest toe, keeping the pen straight up.
  3. Measure from the wall to the mark in millimetres for both feet; the longer foot decides your size.
  4. Measure round the ball of the foot as well if you are deciding between wide and extra wide.

Width fittings at size 15

Walktall’s formal shoes at 15 came in F, G and H; Sioux’s Dilip and Foriolo are H, which Walktall’s product data calls Wide Fit. Jacamo’s smart shoes at 15 were wide and extra wide. JD Williams’ guide gives a foot girth of 291-296 mm for standard, 297-302 mm for wide and 303-308 mm for extra wide at 15; Jacamo’s guide gives the same standard and wide figures, but its extra wide figure is misprinted. Poyter’s chart gives a ball girth of 281.5 mm for standard (D) and 290.5 mm for wide (EE). Base London has no width options, and we did not check which of Barker’s fittings were available at 15.

Frequently asked questions

Which shops list men's formal shoes in size 15?

Walktall, Jacamo, JD Williams and Base London list formal shoes in 15, and Poyter makes them to order. Barker and ECCO had very few styles available at 15 when we checked. We did not check Amazon UK.

Can I get Sioux or Cheaney shoes in size 15?

At Walktall, yes: when we checked it listed Sioux's Dilip and Foriolo formal lace-ups in H fitting and the Cheaney Hythe at 15. We did not check Sioux's or Cheaney's own shops.

Are there extra wide formal shoes in 15?

Yes. Jacamo's and JD Williams' own-brand brogues at 15 came in wide and extra wide. Walktall has H fittings, including the Sioux styles, and Poyter makes shoes in a wide fitting to order.

Is the Base London Woburn XL available in 15?

It was when we checked, in Bordo and Black. Base London's other XL styles, the Barbera XL and Gambino XL, showed 15 sold out, and the range stops at 15.

Can I buy formal shoes in 15.5?

Only made to order, from Poyter, among the shops we checked. Walktall's formal category had no 15.5, and Jacamo, JD Williams, Barker and Base London do not list it.

What EU size is a UK 15 formal shoe?

It depends on the chart: EU 49 at Barker and Poyter, EU 50 at Walktall and EU 51 at Jacamo and JD Williams. ECCO labels its EU 50 as UK 14.5-15. All of them except ECCO make a UK 15 a US 16; ECCO gives 16-16.5.

All shop details were checked on the shops’ own websites on 30 October 2026. Walktall’s returns terms come from its own pages as shown in search results. We did not check Amazon UK’s listings.
