Size 12 Women’s Shoes (EU 46): At Last, Beautiful Shoes That Fit
If you wear size 12 women’s shoes, you’ll know that the search for footwear that actually fits (let alone looks good) is a constant uphill battle. Most high street brands barely scrape past a UK 8, and even specialist retailers often cap their footwear range at a 10 or 11. But what if you wear a UK 12? What then?
At Otto + Ivy, we believe that size should never be a barrier to style. That’s why we create size 12 shoes for women that are elegant, comfortable, and made with proper proportions in mind. Whether you’re after cute flats, statement heels, versatile boots, or the perfect pair of summer sandals, you’ll find them here; in a true UK size 12, EU 46.
Why Size 46 Women’s Shoes for Women Are So Difficult to Find
The fashion industry has never made it easy for women with longer feet. Most mainstream brands stop where the average ends, and even those that do venture into larger sizes, often do so by lazily scaling up from a smaller shoe pattern. But feet don’t just get longer… they can get proportionally wider, with different structural needs that a scaled-up size 5 simply won’t accommodate. That’s why even when you find an EU 46 women’s shoe, the fit can still feel completely wrong.
At Otto + Ivy, we design all our size 12 women’s shoes on a proper EU 46 last, crafted specifically for the shape of a longer female foot. That means width, balance, and support are all built in from the start; no guesswork, no shortcuts.
What Does a UK Size 12 Actually Convert To?
A UK size 12 equates to an EU 46, and roughly a US 14. But if you’ve tried buying shoes across different brands, you’ll know those conversions aren’t always reliable. Some brands label a 45 as a UK 12, others push you into a 47, and the inconsistencies make shopping a nightmare.
Part of the problem is that the UK sizing system (based on Barleycorns, increments of one-third of an inch) and the European Paris Point system (6.66mm steps) don’t map neatly onto one another. The larger the foot, the greater the potential for sizing errors (by the time you climb to the larger sizes, those scales are completely out of wack).
At Otto + Ivy, we design directly in EU 46 for our size 12 shoes, removing the need for clumsy conversions. The result? A consistent, accurate fit… tried and tested on real size 12 feet.
We Don’t Do Men’s Shoes Rebranded for Women
If you’ve been told to “just buy men’s shoes” when asking for a size 12, you’ll know how disheartening it is. Boxy shapes, heavy soles, and styles that simply don’t match your aesthetic.
Our entire range of size 12 shoes for women is unapologetically designed for female feet. That means shoes that flatter your proportions, elevate your outfits, and feel beautifully made. Whether you want understated neutrals or bold statement heels, our collection gives you real choice.

Properly Designed Size 12 Shoes, Not Just Scaled Up
