Size & Fit

Riomar shoes are made by hand in Portugal on a European last, and they run true to size. Find your US size below for the EU equivalent, then read the fit notes – particularly the one about width.

We build one width: standard American medium. We do not offer narrow or wide fittings in any style.

Because our last is European, our shoes are best worn snug, without socks.

How Our Shoes Fit

Do Riomar shoes run true to size?

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.

Do you offer wide or narrow widths?

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.

Should I wear socks with them?

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.

Will my shoes stretch?

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.

I’m between sizes. Should I go up or down?

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.

Does the waterproofing change the fit over time?

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.

Still not sure? Reach the Commodore at customerservice@riomarshoes.com for personalized advice – tell us the style and your usual size and we’ll help you land it.

The Porto Deck Driver was inspired by our Founder’s love for the city of Porto, Portugal and the unique history of Rabelo boats transporting Port wine barrels, from the Douro Valley region in northern Portugal, to the coastal city of Porto for export. Much like the rich color pallet found in Port wine production, the Porto Deck Driver leather mimics the brownish color that results from aging the wine in wooden Oak barrels. Form-fitting and flexible, the Porto Deck Driver is designed from the sole up for superior all-around performance. Featuring our expert craftsmanship, exquisite genuine waterproof leather, and precision artisan hand stitching; The Porto Deck Driver is a perfect pairing to a wide variety of color tones and is as refined and elegant as the city itself.

Porto Nubuck: Waterproof Spanish Leather

Sole: Non-Slip / Non-marking – Tawny Brown

Lining: Odor-proof, Antimicrobial – Tinta Taupe

Bearing: Porto

Every Riomar takes the same bearings. Each one shackles across the vamp and comes off in seconds with no tools, so a single pair of shoes carries more than 130 different looks. If you would rather fly your own colors, our Bearing Masters will tie those too. Shop all bearings.

Riomar shoes are US men's sizing, built in one width, standard medium. Full measurements are on our size chart.

The uppers are cut and stitched by hand in Portugal, on lasts we have been refining since the first Waterman. The bearing channel is set during construction rather than added afterwards, which is why the swap stays clean for the life of the shoe.

Loved it

"Excellent quality and extremely comfortable. The leather feels premium, the grip is great, and they look just as good with shorts as they do with chinos. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for a stylish, well-made deck shoe."

— Caeden (5/5)

Beautiful show, and very comfortable.

"Beautiful show, and very comfortable. I had to work on size, but we got that fixed with an exchange. I will absolutely but again in the future."

— Glenn G. (5/5)

Was hesitant about this color, but super happy

"This is my second pair of Deck Drivers. My first pair in Navy Submarine I purchased in November of '21 are still going strong, but the soles are getting thin. I was hesitant about what the Porto color would look like in person, but now that I have them I know I made the right call. Just as comfortable out of the box as my old ones and the color is really sharp."

— Albert M. (5/5)
