The Porto - Classic

Yes. Order the US size you normally wear. Our shoes are built on European standards and can run slightly narrower than a standard American shoe, but the length is true.

No. Every Riomar style is built in one width, standard American medium. If you typically need a wide fitting, reach out to the Commodore at customerservice@riomarshoes.com before you order and we’ll give you an honest answer about whether they’ll work for you.

Our shoes are built to fit snug and to be worn without socks. The lining is odor-proof and antimicrobial, so going sockless is the intended experience – and it’s how you should judge the fit when you first try them on.

A little, where your foot wants it – but how much depends on the leather. The suedes are the supplest and will give the most. The Fathom series is the most firm and will give the least. Everything else sits in between.

Write to the Commodore at customerservice@riomarshoes.com and tell us the style you’re looking at and what you normally wear. Because the leather and last differ between our lines, the right answer changes by style – we’d rather advise you than guess.

No. Our leathers are fully waterproofed during the tanning process rather than treated on the surface, so getting them wet won’t shrink them or change how they sit on your foot. They are built to perform on the water – though, to be clear, this is no water sock.
