To ask if a product is available in a different size, common polite questions include:

  • “Do you have this in size [small/medium/large/number]?”
  • “Does this come in size [small/medium/large/number]?”

These forms apply whether you know the specific size or just the general size category. They are straightforward ways to inquire about availability without assuming stock availability.

For example:

  • “Excuse me, do you have this in medium?”
  • “Does this come in a size 8?”

This approach is often used when shopping for clothing or shoes to check if a desired size is available from the seller or store staff. 2

Helpful variations

If you want to sound a little more natural, you can also ask:

  • “Do you have this one in a larger size?”
  • “Is this available in a smaller size?”
  • “Do you carry this in size M?”
  • “Do you have any other sizes?”

These versions are useful when you do not know the exact size number or when you simply want to know whether there are more options. In a store, “carry” can sound a bit more retail-like, while “have” is the most direct and common choice.

If you are shopping online or speaking to customer service, you may also hear:

  • “Is this item available in another size?”
  • “Can I get this in a different size?”
  • “Do you have stock in size [x]?”

Polite ways to ask in stores

In face-to-face shopping, it helps to begin with a polite phrase before the question. A few natural openers are:

  • “Excuse me, do you have this in a larger size?”
  • “Hi, do you carry this in size 10?”
  • “Sorry, is there a smaller size available?”
  • “Could you check if you have this in medium?”

Using “excuse me,” “sorry,” or “could you” makes the request sound more courteous, especially if you are asking a sales assistant to look in stock or in the back room.

A simple structure is:

Polite opener + product + size question

Examples:

  • “Excuse me, do you have these shoes in a 42?”
  • “Could you tell me if this shirt comes in large?”
  • “Sorry, is there a smaller size in this dress?”

When you do not know the exact size

Sometimes you know the fit you need, but not the exact label. In that case, you can describe the size you want instead of using a number.

Useful phrases include:

  • “Do you have anything bigger?”
  • “Do you have anything smaller?”
  • “Is there a size up from this?”
  • “Is there a size down from this?”
  • “Do you have a looser fit?”
  • “Do you have a slimmer fit?”

This is especially useful for shoes, rings, belts, and clothing from different countries, where sizes may not match your usual system.

Common mistakes to avoid

A frequent mistake is using “different” when you really mean a specific size. For example, instead of saying:

  • “Do you have this in different size?”

it is better to say:

  • “Do you have this in a different size?”
  • “Do you have this in size medium?”
  • “Do you have this in a larger size?”

Another common issue is confusing size with fit. Size refers to the labeled measurement, while fit describes how something sits on your body. If you want the same item but with more room, “larger size” is usually the clearest phrase.

Also, if you are asking about shoes, it is often better to say in my size or in a bigger/smaller size rather than only “different size,” since shoe sizing can be very specific.

Short answers and follow-up questions

If the staff says the item is available, you can follow up with:

  • “Great, can I try it on?”
  • “Do you have it in stock?”
  • “Can I see the next size up?”
  • “Where can I find that size?”
  • “Could you bring me one?”

If the size is not available, you can ask:

  • “Do you expect more in stock soon?”
  • “Can you check online?”
  • “Do you have a similar item in that size?”
  • “Is there another branch that has it?”

These follow-up questions are practical when you want to keep shopping instead of ending the conversation immediately.

Quick summary

The most natural and useful ways to ask are:

  • “Do you have this in size [x]?”
  • “Does this come in size [x]?”
  • “Do you have this in a larger/smaller size?”
  • “Is this available in another size?”

These phrases are polite, clear, and suitable for stores, markets, and customer service conversations.
