I normally take a size 11US in dress shoes. I tried sizing down a full 1 for the huaraches but they felt tight (my big toe was pushing a bit on the front). Went with a size 10.5 and it fits pretty well. I kind of like the looser fit, though I guess maybe 10 would have worked once it stretched out.

Also these huaraches are amazing. I basically wear them all the time. They've got a nice patina now, though there are some water stains on them from rain.

@gdl203 & @tailoredtech - I usually wear a 10E on the Barrie last with Alden shoes and I need a wider footbed.

I normally order at 10.5. Should I go to the 10 if I wanted to order a pair of huaraches? Or something else?

@gdl203 @conceptual 4est are the El Karti loafers a total no-no around water? Just talking about wearing around the pool or walking through morning grass, not a rafting trip.
The raffia is fine for that, but we've had some issues with the strength of the glue used to bond the lining and the heel, which can only be exacerbated with water. Those are reasonably easy fixes (use shoe glue to reattach) but I think it's important to know some peeling or ungluing might happen.
