About

Shoe Geek

I’m Andrew Doiron, an Footwear professional based in Montreal. I specialize in conceptualizing and creating footwear. My enthusiasm for footwear has led me to a range of experiences within the industry, from the humble art of shoemaking to the more technical aspects of computer design for larger-scale factory production. My expertise span a wide range of footwear types.

Doiron Kicks is a my personal venture, offering my expertise in footwear design and development and making. Services offered include pattern engineering, custom shoemaking, consulting, designing, development, project management and teaching. I draw from my extensive knowledge of footwear design principles,foot and lower limb mechanics, materials, construction processes and equipment and a drive to research to come up with innovative and sustainable means to help me attain my goals.
