Sizing recommendations

El Primero (Canvas) tends to run small. If you know your EU size, pick that. Otherwise, choose your typical US size, but err on the bigger side.

For instance, if you wear a US 7.5, you should get a US 8. If you have wide feet, you should should order a full size up. See our size guide or live chat us with questions:

Named the #1 brand that "actually supports struggling artisans"

"It's no surprise PATOS are spreading rapidly among millennials."

What do you get in the box?

$35 matching backpacks are included free for a limited time.

Your shoes come with a matching drawstring backpack. It's made with recycled materials from our shop to reduce waste. One side has the colorful "Aguayo" textile; the other side matches the solid color of your shoes.

I LOVE this shoe!

This shoe is fabulous! It fits perfectly, is so comfortable, and makes a "WOW" statement. Even better, my purchase helps to provide sustainable employment for the artists in Latin America. I am definitely going to buy more!!!

Happy Repeat Customer

My first order was a black pair of the cheaper canvas option. Excited to try the leather ones now! They’ve been great so far

Sizing notes 

Our shoes are made in EU sizes. Use our size chart to find which EU size you are based on your US size. If you already know your EU size, select that one.

How PATOS sizes run: PATOS are slightly narrow and run true to size. If you don't have wide feet, select the size that you normally wear.

If you wear a half size: If you wear a half size, and don't have wide feet, round up to the next size. For example, if you have narrow feet and wear US 7.5, your best fit is likely an 8.

If you have wide feet: If you have wide feet, we suggest buying an entire size up. For example, if you typically wear 7, you should probably get an 8.

If you have wide feet and wear a half size: If you have wide feet and wear a half size, you should round up 1.5 sizes. For example, if you wear 7.5 and have wide feet, we suggest ordering size 9.

If you wear a number of different sizes: If, for example, you wear a 7 in some brands and 8 in others and don't know which one to base your size off of, you should probably go with the larger size.
