I love these, but sizing inconsistent
Simply the best hiking sandal I have found. The Birkenstock of hiking sandals, extremely light and comfortable. Don't put them in your washer though. I have bought three pairs of "El Porto" sandals and the sizing has given me a headache. The Men's was labelled UK 7/EU 41, Ladies labelled UK 7/EU40.5. I bought a new pair Ladies UK 8.5/EU41. All three are virtually identical in size. The seller of the 3rd pair called them a 7.5. I tried on the "La Hermana" model at the store, also labelled UK 7.5 and they were too narrow.

The Greatest Sandal
These sandals are the Greatest!!!... One pair is not enough- have one pair that I removed the back strap- sooooo easy to just slip on. Excellent craftsmanship!

Easy to wear right out of the box!
No need to break these sandals in. I took them out of the box and wore them for a 1.5 hour walk the day they arrived - no problems - very comfy, no rubbing spots. The only thing is that they squeek a little - hope this will stop after a few more wears.
