Size Guide

SIZE RANGE

Maévie's primary sizing is EU. All shoes are made in Portugal to EU sizing standards. The table below is based on our manufacturer's official specification. We currently offer shoes in UK 6-12 | EU 39-47 | US 7-13. Our final Maévie fit guide will be published before launch once our production last has been fully verified.

Contact us if you require a different size. For precise sizing, refer to the size guide on each product page, which is specific to that shoe's last. We will communicate our full shoe sizing in the coming weeks.

Table note: Conversions are from our Portuguese manufacturer's specification. Fit can vary by style - when in doubt, size up or contact us.

HOW TO MEASURE AT HOME

Shoe sizing is personal, and it changes over time. Measuring your feet regularly is the only way to find the right shoes and the right size. Here's how to measure at home in a few minutes.

What you will need A large piece of paper or card, a pencil, and a measuring tape (in cm or mm).

Length

1 Place a sheet of paper flat on the floor.

2 Stand on the paper with your full weight on the foot not on your toes.

3 Trace around your foot slowly, keeping the pen upright, not angled in. Angling inward gives you a smaller measurement than your actual foot.

4 Mark the tip of your longest toe. This is not always the big toe, for some people, the second toe is longer. Mark also the back of your foot.

5 Measure from your heel to that toe in millimetres. This is your foot length. Compare it to the mm column in our size table.

Width

6 Feel for the widest point of your foot, just below where your big and little toes.

7 Draw a straight line across the widest point on your tracing and measure it in mm. This is your flat width.

8 Measure both feet. Most people have feet that are slightly different sizes. Always size for the larger foot.

BEYOND LENGTH 

Foot length is only one part of the story. The width, arch, shape, and instep height all affect how a shoe actually feels. Understanding your feet helps you choose styles that work for you.

Width   Your feet maybe narrow, standard, wide or extra-wide. As a general rule, a standard-width foot measures about 1/3 of its length at the widest point, just behind the toes but this may vary. This will affect the type of shoes you can wear comfortably.

Arch   The arch is the bridge between your heel and the front of your foot. It carries your body weight with every step. To find yours, wet your foot and step onto a piece of a kitchen towel; a full print means low arch, a partial print means medium, and a thin band or gap means high arch. This affects how a shoe feels underfoot and whether you need additional support.

Instep   The height across the top of your foot. A higher instep means shoes can feel tight across the front even in the right length. A lower instep means they may feel loose.

Toe shape   Some feet are narrow and tapered; others are square and wide across the toes. Your toe shape affects which styles suit your feet beyond just the size number. Take a photo of your foot from above to identify yours - Tapered, Rounded, Square or Peaked.

SIZING ADVICE IF YOU ARE BETWEEN SIZES

Always size up. A slightly larger shoe is far preferable to one that compresses your foot. Feet that are regularly squeezed into shoes that are too small experience discomfort and pain over time.

Sizing also varies between shoe styles. A trainer, a boot, and a flat will feel different even at the same EU size, because each is built on a different last. We will include style-specific sizing notes on each product page when we launch.

CHANGING SIZE 

If your feet have reached their adult size, measure once a year. Feet change throughout your life. Pregnancy, weight changes, and simply getting older all affect foot shape and size.

If you are still growing, measure your feet every three to four months. Feet can grow up to two sizes in a year during peak adolescence. Buying in the right size now matters, not just for comfort, but for how your feet develop.
