Product Description
Barcelona-based Viscata does one thing, and one thing only: espadrilles. The company name is a combination of the Catalan word visca, meaning “life,” and Catalonia, where espadrilles were born Read More
Where is the black option? I have purchased 3 pairs over the years through MD and the first pair I had were black. The other pairs and my current ones are Ash. I am getting tired of the same color and I just want to get black again.
Catalonian people always pretending they have invented everything.

They are reinventing their history, including everything all the others created.
Mine's still going strong after almost 2 years! I've worn them a good amount during warmer months in the Bay Area (so pretty much all the time?) and have taken them through rainstorms in China.
These are pretty sweet and they are definitely a bit more substantial than your regular TOMS. I got them wet a few times and the jute has held up well.
There is definitely a little bit of fraying on some parts (especially where my big toes are!) from wear and tear but overall I'm pretty impressed with the quality and would happily buy a second pair.
I bought the Navy Viscata Portbou Espadrilles, from a previous drop, in 12 US / 45 EU that were too big for me (and so never worn apart from initially trying it on) if anyone is interested. Here is a link from the previous drop: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/18963
LovingMassDBy sending them, I'm guessing you're asking if I can take care of shipping? If so, I get cheap shipping from work so I can take care of that. Email me at syedahmedali91@gmail.com; I'll dig up the shoes from my closet and send you pictures of them.
I was hesitant buying these as it's a new style to me and have never tried them on, but they are insanely comfortable. Quick and easy to put on and go to the store or a walk. I requested another drop for more colors!
Also, somehow they don't really smell yet, which is pretty astounding. My sandals on the other hand...
I usually buy EU 45, and the EU 44 was uncomfortably tight the first day--bent toes, squeezed metatarsals--then after two nights using a shoe tree they were much better, and after a couple weeks of wear the shoes gave in all the right places for a glove-like fit. Had they stretched like this after having started looser, the heel would probably be flopping. Would buy EU 44 again.
I am really confused on the sizes...
What are these in inches?
I'm trying to get 9 US (43 EU), since I wear US 8.5 shoes.
But from my research, 43 EU is 10.4375" which seems lot longer than my US 8.5 sized shoes.
Should I get 8 US (42 EU)? Thank you in advance.

ChoDingI agree the sizing is confusing especially since their website shows other espadrilles like the Sitges as 9US (42EU) which is what I would expect. I am a 9US so that is what I ordered trusting that the 9US sizing is correct.
Relaunch update: US Sizing should be correctly listed now, plus we're offering 47 EU (12.5 US) as a Massdrop exclusive since many of our members have requested bigger sizes.
If anyone is a US size 9.5-10, my size 44 will fit you. Let me know. Sell them to you at the same price Massdrop offered them. Or trade for a larger size.
