Size 9 Walking Boots for Women: Where to Buy in the UK
Quick answer: UK 9 is the largest women’s-labelled walking boot size we found, and it is thin. Cotswold Outdoor had a few, including the Meindl Womens Baltimore GTX. Meindl, Scarpa and Merrell each stop here, as shown in search results, and DB Wider Fit Shoes lists a few wide styles. GO Outdoors and Blacks had one style available, the Peter Storm Women’s Buxton. Decathlon’s boots at 9 came from outside sellers.

Size 9 is the top of the range for women’s walking boots, and the number of shops flatters it. We count 10 shops, but many hold only a few styles. GO Outdoors and Blacks are the clearest case: a filter suggests several boots, but in their store data only one could be bought, and the Merrell, Meindl and adidas boots listed at 9 were sold out. Decathlon’s women’s boots at 9 all came from outside sellers, and for the Meindl Baltimore at Cotswold Outdoor, 9 is the last size. If you find a boot you like at 9, it is the end of that boot’s run.
We checked each shop’s own website on 31 October 2026. Cotswold Outdoor, GO Outdoors, Blacks, Decathlon and DB Wider Fit Shoes were read directly. Meindl, Scarpa, Merrell, Mountain Warehouse and JD Williams details come from their own pages as shown in search results, and JD Williams’ rests on older search text. Delivery and returns terms were read on 30 October. We did not check prices, and availability changes daily.

The shops in more detail
Cotswold Outdoor
Cotswold Outdoor had a few boots at 9: the Meindl Womens Baltimore GTX, Grisport Womens Tempest Sympatex, Hanwag Womens Alta Bunion II GTX and Vivobarefoot Tracker Leather AT II, plus the unisex Ayacucho Cabrera Mid and Ordesa Mid. We picked the Meindl Baltimore at 9 and got a delivery date; it is that boot's top size. We could not confirm its delivery cost, because its help pages conflict. As shown in search results, full-price items can go back within 30 days and sale items within 14, at your cost unless faulty.

DB Wider Fit
DB Wider Fit Shoes has a few styles at 9, in 2E-4E and 6E-8E, and 9 is its largest size.

Decathlon
Decathlon's UK 9 - EU 42 filter showed the Calmsden, Glide, Lady Tempest and Lady Hurricane women's hiking boots, a few boots from outside sellers rather than Decathlon, and its usual terms may not apply. The other filter value, UK 9 - EU 43, showed men's items only. We could not confirm delivery or returns terms, and outside sellers' own terms apply to their boots.

Who stops just below 9
- Shoe Zone: its walking boots filter stops at 8.
- Altberg: its walking models stop at 8.5, as shown in search results.
- Decathlon’s own boots: the Quechua MH500 women’s pages stop at 8.
- Long Tall Sally: we found no dedicated walking boots on its UK site.
Our size 8 walking boots guide covers them, and Hotter and Pavers. We could not confirm walking boots at 9 at Hotter or Pavers.
Above 9
This is the end of women’s-labelled walking boots. GO Outdoors and Blacks show nothing women’s above 9, Decathlon’s list above 9 is all men’s, and Meindl, Scarpa, Merrell and DB Wider Fit Shoes stop here. Cotswold Outdoor is the only shop that goes on, with unisex Ayacucho boots, as our size 10 walking boots guide explains.
How to measure your feet for size 9 walking boots
We did not record a foot length from a walking boot shop at 9. Merrell’s women’s guide gives UK 9 as EU 43 and US 11.5. For a length to compare with, Shoe Zone’s women’s chart gives 27.6 cm, and Marks and Spencer’s 272 mm.
- Put your heel against a wall on a sheet of paper, in your walking socks.
- Mark your longest toe.
- Measure to the mark on both feet, and use the longer one.
Width fittings at size 9
DB Wider Fit Shoes has the widest labelled fittings, 2E-4E and 6E-8E, and Mountain Warehouse’s Mcleod is a Wide Fit boot. As shown in search results, Meindl names the Meran Lady GTX for slightly wider feet, with a Terlan Lady GTX Wide Fit and a Bernina Lady 2 GTX for wider feet, though we did not read the sizes of those two.
UK 9 in EU and US sizes
| Shop | EU | US | Foot length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Merrell | 43 | 11.5 | Not given |
| Meindl | 43 | Not given | Not given |
| Scarpa | 43 | Not given | Not given |
| JD Williams | 43 | 11 | Not given |
| Decathlon (filter label, women’s items) | 42 | Not given | Not given |
Most walking boot brands here agree on EU 43, but Decathlon’s women’s boots at 9 sit under UK 9 – EU 42.

Frequently asked questions
Is 9 the largest women's walking boot size?
It is the largest women's-labelled size we found. Above 9 the only boots we found on a women's page are unisex Ayacucho boots at Cotswold Outdoor.
Why do GO Outdoors and Blacks show so few boots at 9?
Several boots list 9 but were sold out at that size when we read their store data. At both shops only the Peter Storm Women's Buxton Waterproof Mid was available.
Does Decathlon have women's walking boots at 9?
A few, from outside sellers rather than Decathlon: the Calmsden, Glide, Lady Tempest and Lady Hurricane. Its own Quechua MH500 stops at 8.
Are there wide walking boots at 9?
Yes. DB Wider Fit Shoes lists 2E-4E and 6E-8E, Mountain Warehouse has the Mcleod Wide Fit, and Meindl names the Meran Lady GTX for slightly wider feet.
Does Altberg make a women's walking boot at 9?
Its walking models stop at 8.5. Its Lady Sneeker Elite reaches 9, but that is a military-style boot, not a hill walking boot.
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.
