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.

Our Riomar Deck Driver defines versatility. Designed as a crossover model, the Deck Driver performs equally well on or off the water. Formfitting and flexible, the Deck Driver was made from the sole up for superior all-around performance.

                               Crazy Horse Tan: 100% Waterproof Portuguese Leather

 Sole: Nonskid / Non-marking : White
  
Lining: Odor-proof, Antimicrobial, and most important, Comfortable, Leather Insole
 
Bearing:  This shoe comes dressed with the Riomar Burgee Bearing. 

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.

Shipping is calculated at checkout. Full details on delivery, returns and exchanges are on our customer service page.
