Shoes that last.
Values you can stand behind.
We started with a simple belief: quality shoes shouldn't be out of reach. From there, we set out to make the craftsmanship of European-made footwear more accessible; without compromising on design or integrity.In a crowded industry, Maguire continues to rethink the traditional retail model.
Every pair is designed in-house in our offices in Montreal, then crafted in small batches by trusted European partners. This approach gives us control over quality while keeping our production responsible and intentional. No mass manufacturing, no unnecessary shortcuts. Just thoughtfully made shoes that are built to last.
While our products speak for themselves, community is at the heart of everything we do. Our retail stores are designed to feel welcoming and intuitive, inviting all to a shopping experience that encourages discovery with every visit.
Recognized by Vogue, Forbes, WWD, ELLE, and Harper’s Bazaar, and awarded the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards for Emerging Talent in Accessories (2022) and Accessory Designer of the Year (2024), Maguire now operates stores in Montreal, Toronto, New York, and Brooklyn.

Our Story
Born and raised in Quebec City, sisters Myriam and Romy Belzile-Maguire founded Maguire believing that footwear could be better designed and more accessible without compromising quality or integrity. With $15,000 to their name, the sisters launched Maguire in 2017 with a single product and a clear vision: to build the brand they themselves had been searching for.
A graduate of London’s prestigious Cordwainer College, Myriam brought deep technical expertise, shaped by years of experience designing footwear for international brands such as Benetton and Aldo. Her work took her across continents, refining a design sensibility informed by craftsmanship, culture, and real life. Romy, a communications graduate with a background working with non-profits, brings a human-centred approach, and global outlook to the brand.
Maguire now operates boutiques in Montreal, Toronto, New York, and Brooklyn, and collaborates with carefully selected manufacturers, primarily in Europe.After having built the brand from the ground up, Myriam and Romy now both live in Montreal and work from their offices behind their first flagship store. From there they continue to develop and market shoes that are meant to be worn, loved, and lived in.
