Size 8 Nike Trainers for Women: 8 Shops Compared

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

Quick answer: UK 8 is the easiest size for Nike trainers in this guide, with eight shops that count. Nike’s own women’s filter holds running styles such as the Pegasus 42 GORE-TEX and Quest 7 alongside lifestyle styles such as the Air Force 1 ’07 and P-6000. JD Sports, Sports Direct and Foot Locker list women’s Nike styles too, and Very did on 30 October. ASOS shows the Nike Lahar, Offspring a unisex P-6000, and Schuh the Nike AL8, as shown in search results.

Eight is the one size in this guide where Nike trainers feel ordinary to find. You can pick by purpose, because running shoes are still on the list, and you can pick by shop, because six of the eight list a P-6000 in one colour or another. It thins quickly from here. Sports Direct’s women’s Nike filter falls away straight after 8, and JD Sports’ above 9.5. Schuh’s Nike AL8 tops out at 8, as shown in search results, and Foot Locker’s P-6000 could be picked at 8 but not at 9 in the colours we read. So this page is about choosing, and the pages above it are about what is left.

We checked these shops on 31 October 2026. Nike’s women’s filter at 8 shows first results only, so the styles we name are styles we saw, not a full list. JD Sports, Sports Direct, ASOS and Foot Locker were read on their own filters and product pages. Offspring was read through a text copy of the page only, which can show sizes that are not available. Schuh refused our read, so its row is as shown in search results, and Very’s row dates from 30 October, before Very refused further reads. Delivery and returns terms and Nike’s chart were read on 30 October. We did not check prices, and availability changes daily.

Women’s-labelled means the product name or Nike’s card says Women’s, or Womens. The Label column shows what we read, and ASOS’s Lahar is on its women’s shoes pages with no women’s label read. Schuh’s row is as shown in search results, and Very’s dates from 30 October. “Not checked” means we did not record that detail. Delivery and returns are the standard UK terms read on 30 October 2026.

The shops in more detail

Nike

Nike's women's filter at 8 showed women's-labelled running and lifestyle styles, among them the Pegasus 42 GORE-TEX, Quest 7, Air Force 1 '07, Air Force 1 Shadow, P-6000, Lahar Low, V5 RNR Premium and Zoom Skylon 11. These are first results, because Nike shows no reliable total. The filter also lists 8.5. Delivery is £4.50, free over £99 (£50 for members), with free store pick-up. Returns are free within 30 days, though some exclusions apply.

JD Sports

JD Sports' women's Nike filter runs from 2.5 to 14, and its choice falls sharply above 9.5, so 8 sits well inside its range. We saw the Air Force 1 Low Women's and other women's Nike styles, and the P-6000 Women's in white could be picked at 8. Sizes that are not available are left off the product list. Delivery is £3.99, free over £80. Returns are accepted within 28 days, and the return cost is not confirmed.

Sports Direct

Sports Direct's women's Nike filter runs from 3 to 13, and its choice falls away after 8. The P-6000 Shoes Womens in Wht/Slv/Pink lists 8, labelled EU 42.5, and we also read Initiator, V5 RNR and Court Vision styles. Sold-out sizes appear to be left off its product pages. Standard delivery is £4.99. Returns within 28 days cost from £4.99, and online orders cannot go back to a store.

Foot Locker

Foot Locker's Nike P-6000 Women Shoes could be picked at 8 on the UK tab, in White-Black-Metallic Silver and in Black. This is the size to use it for, as 9 was crossed out on both colours we read. Its women's size menu stops at 9.5. Delivery is free over £99, and the charge below that is not confirmed. Returns within 28 days are free by UPS or in a Foot Locker store, and other methods are at your cost.

ASOS

ASOS shows the Nike Lahar in brown on its women's shoes pages, from UK 3 to 13, with half sizes to 11.5. It is the one style we opened at 8, so treat it as an example rather than the shop's whole Nike range at this size. Delivery is £4.50, free over £40. Returns within 28 days are free for account holders under its Fair Use Policy, and cost £3.95 on guest orders.

Offspring

Offspring's Nike P-6000 in Anthracite Black Metallic Silver sits under Women's Shoes & Trainers, but its page title says Unisex Sports, so it is unisex rather than women's-labelled. No sold-out flag showed at 8. We read this page through a text copy only, which can show sizes that are not available, so open the product first. We did not open the women's-only items in its filter at this size, and its delivery and returns terms are not confirmed.

Schuh

As shown in search results, Schuh lists women's Nike styles at 8, and its Nike AL8 runs to UK 8. Schuh refused our read, so we could not see what is available at 8. On 30 October its women's trainers filter ran to 9, in whole sizes only. Delivery is £3.99, free from £70. Unused returns within 365 days need a receipt, and are free in store or £3.99 by post.

Very

On 30 October Very's size 8 trainers filter held Nike V5 RNR, Initiator and P-6000 styles and some Run Defy running shoes, among other brands. Very refused further reads on 31 October, so we have nothing from it above 8. Delivery is £3.99, free from £75. Returns are free within 28 days if unused and in the original packaging.

The P-6000 at six of the eight shops

One style links most of this table. The P-6000 is women’s-labelled at Nike, JD Sports, Sports Direct and Foot Locker, unisex at Offspring, and was on Very’s list on 30 October. The colours differ: white at JD Sports, Wht/Slv/Pink at Sports Direct, White-Black-Metallic Silver and Black at Foot Locker, and Anthracite Black Metallic Silver at Offspring. So the shop you choose may come down to the colour you want, and a colour that is fine at 8 may not hold at the next size, as the Sports Direct one shows by skipping 9.

Running shoes at 8

If you want to run in them, start with Nike’s own list. The women’s-labelled Pegasus 42 GORE-TEX and Quest 7 both appeared in its first results, and the Run Defy was on Very’s filter on 30 October. We did not read running shoes at the other shops at this size. Nike’s women’s running shoes stop at 9.5, on what we read, so at 8 you are still inside that range.

Who drops out after 8

  • Schuh: the Nike AL8 lists to UK 8, as shown in search results. UK 9 is in its women’s Nike size menu, but no product was read there, so we do not count it.
  • Foot Locker: 9 is crossed out on both P-6000 colours we read, and we did not read its other Nike styles.
  • Very: nothing above 8 was read, because it refused further reads.

Our size 9 Nike trainers guide covers the five shops that go on.

How to measure your feet for size 8 Nike trainers

Nike’s women’s chart gives foot length in inches only: 10 1/2 inches at UK 8, about 26.7 cm by our conversion. Its CM row, 27.5 at UK 8, is not foot length, and the chart says the CM size on boxes differs from foot length.

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 paper with your heel to the wall, on both feet.
  2. Mark and measure to your longest toe.
  3. Compare the longer foot with Nike’s chart, in inches.

Widths at size 8

Nike has no width filter on its women’s listing, and the two women’s product pages we read offered no width choice. Its chart does say wide shoes have about 6.35 mm more toe-box girth than regular, and extra-wide about 1.7 cm more. Sports Direct has no width filter on women’s trainers. Very’s trainers filter offered Standard, Wide and Extra Wide at 8 on 30 October, across all brands, and we did not check whether any Nike style comes in those fittings. We recorded no fit at JD Sports, ASOS, Offspring, Foot Locker or Schuh.

Our picks for size 8

We pick from the facts in the table, not from prices or reviews, which we have not checked.

  • For running: the Pegasus 42 GORE-TEX or Quest 7 at Nike, with free returns within 30 days, though some exclusions apply.
  • For a women’s-labelled P-6000 away from Nike: JD Sports, where white could be picked at 8. The return cost is not confirmed.
  • For half sizes near 8: the Nike Lahar at ASOS. Returns are free for account holders under its Fair Use Policy, and £3.95 for guest orders.
