Maévie offers shoes in EU 39-47 | UK 6-12 | US 7-13. Our shoes are made in Portugal, and EU is our primary sizing system. The table below is based on our manufacturer's official specification, not a generic conversion chart. For sizes outside of the range we offer, for example, UK5 | EU38 | US6, contact us at hello@maevieshoes.com 

Maévie's primary sizing system is EU. All shoes are manufactured in Portugal to EU sizing standards. The MM column shows the corresponding foot length in millimetres - the most direct and accurate way to find your size.

J'ai parlé à tant de personnes brillantes, mais Amy Lasu, à qui j'ai parlé dès le début quand j'ai commencé à travailler à The News Movement, est la capitaine de l'équipe féminine de football du Soudan du Sud. Son histoire est vraiment géniale, et j'aimerais que plus de gens connaissent ce genre d'histoires. C'est un véritable exemple de la lutte des femmes pour faire du sport dans d'autres régions du monde.

J'ai tout essayé parce que j'aime tellement ça. J'y inclus le sport et l'exercice physique parce que j'adore aller à la salle de sport, et ma nouvelle passion est l'haltérophilie. Je redécouvre sans cesse des choses que j'apprécie vraiment, que ce soient des cours de fitness, l'entraînement pour différents événements, ou simplement le fait d'essayer de nouvelles choses.

EU 46 = UK 11.5 / US 12.5 / 296mm.

EU 47 = UK 12 / US 13 / 302.5mm. This is the largest size in Maévie's range.

Because Maévie is manufactured in Portugal, the EU is our natural primary system. UK and US sizes are provided as conversions. EU sizing is based on Paris points. The grading is specific to European Sizing.

Because sizing is not globally standardised. Every brand builds its shoes on its own last, the mould that determines the shoe's internal shape. Two shoes both labelled EU 43 can fit very differently. This is why we provide the foot length in millimetres alongside every size. Measuring your foot in mm and comparing it to our size table is more reliable than going by your size in another brand.

If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up. If you’re unsure, get in touch; we’re happy to help you. hello@maevieshoes.com

Place a sheet of paper on the floor. Stand on it with your full weight on the foot. Trace around your foot slowly, keeping the pen upright. Mark the back of your foot and the tip of your longest toe this is not always the big toe. Measure from heel to that mark in millimetres. This is your foot length. Measure both feet in the afternoon when feet are at their largest. Length is not the only consideration. Go to our size guide for more information.

Extended sizing refers to shoe sizes that go beyond the standard range most high street brands carry. For women's and girls' footwear, the mainstream market typically stops at EU 42 / UK 8. Extended sizing covers EU 43 and above, the range Maévie was built for.

No. Tall girls are more likely to need extended sizing because feet grow with height, and tall girls often reach larger sizes earlier, sometimes as young as 11 or 12. But foot size is also genetic. Plenty of girls of average height need extended sizing too. Maévie is for every teenage girl and young woman whose size the mainstream market doesn't reach, whatever the reason.

Completely normal. Foot size varies considerably from person to person, including during the teenage years. The frustration is not the size; it is
that the market has treated it as unusual when it isn't. Maévie treats extended
sizing as a standard design brief, because it is.

Because the footwear market does not design with teenage girls in extended sizing as the primary customer. Finding stylish shoes in larger sizes can become much harder once girls move beyond the sizes commonly available in children’s and mainstream ranges. The brands that go bigger were designed for adult women, not teenagers or young women.

They describe the same reality from different angles. 'Shoes for big feet' is the language of the search, the frustrated phrase people type when the can't find their size. 'Extended sizing' is the language of design, it puts the responsibility where it belongs: the industry. The girl is not the problem. The market's sizing range is.

School shoe ranges are built around average size distributions, and most manufacturers set their cut-off at the sizes most commonly needed. Girls in extended sizing, particularly those who reach these sizes earlier due to height, genetics or other conditions, are simply not accounted for. It is one of the most consistent points of frustration for parents, and one of the most specific gaps Maévie is designed to address.

Absolutely. Maévie is for every teenage girl and young woman the mainstream market leaves behind. Height and foot size can be related, but everyone grows differently. A taller girl may have larger feet, but there is no single shoe size that corresponds to a particular height. Tall girls may represent a significant part of our world, but extended sizing is also simply genetic for many girls. Both are equally Maévie's customers.

Teenage girls and young women who need shoes in EU 39 to 47 ( UK6 to UK12) and have found the mainstream market doesn't reach them. Not adult shoes in bigger sizes. Footwear designed from the ground up for teenagers: their identity, their world.

Maévie was founded by Vanessa Boulanger-Twigg, a parent who spent years watching her daughter navigate a fashion landscape that simply didn't include her. Maévie is the brand that should have existed already, built by a parent, designed for a daughter. Starting at EU39 (UK 6).

Our shoes are made in Portugal. Portugal has a long tradition of footwear making, with skilled craftspeople and generations of experience. Manufacturing closer to home also allows us to stay close to our production and is part of our commitment to making more considered choices for people and planet.

While extended-size footwear exists, it can still be difficult to find styles that feel right for girls and young women. That’s the gap Maévie was created to address.
