We exist because girls in extended sizing are still too often left with very little choice.

Maévie was created to change that.

We’re starting with girls who wear extended sizes, creating shoes with them in mind from the very beginning.

But this is about more than shoes. It is about confidence, identity, fitting in, standing out, and learning to feel comfortable in yourself.

That is what I kept seeing with my own daughter, and it is what pushed me to create something different.

Because having the right size isn’t the same as having the right shoe.

We’re designing for her first.

For years, finding shoes for my daughter was difficult. As her feet grew, the choice seemed to get smaller. 

I kept coming back to the same thought: I didn’t want girls in extended sizes to struggle or feel different for something completely out of their control.

So I started learning. What began as trying to solve one problem became months of research, a footwear course, countless conversations and plenty of mistakes. 

Our first shoes began with a last developed specifically for Maévie, based on a teenage foot. This form shapes the shoe and is central to its fit, a detail you cannot see, but an important part of its development.

Through sample after sample, we worked with our chosen manufacturer in Portugal to bring our first design to life. We chose them for their willingness to develop this project with us using materials that combine comfort, quality and style.
