Are Rieker shoes good?
The facts are a good place to start. Rieker have been making shoes for over 150 years, and the same company makes Remonte. They're a member of CADS, a German shoe industry group that works to keep harmful substances out of shoes. Every Rieker style is built on their Antistress idea, explained below, and it's a big part of why so many of our customers come back to them for the next pair. The upper, lining and heel height of every style are listed on its product page, so you can see exactly what you're getting.
Are Rieker shoes good for walking?
Rieker design them with walking in mind, and their own line is "walk lighter, live easier". They build every style around what they call Antistress, which comes down to four things. Rieker describe their shoes as more lightweight, so you hardly feel them on your foot, and more flexible, so your foot rolls more easily through each step. They give more space, so the shoe still fits after a long walk without pressing, and they're more shock absorbing, with memory foam in the sole or insole to cushion each step. Over a quarter of the Rieker styles we have also come with a removable insole, if you'd rather walk on your own orthotic.
Are Rieker shoes wide fitting?
Most aren't marked with a width fitting, but a few are made on an H, the wide fitting, and it's stated in the product details wherever a style has one. Rieker do say their Antistress shoes give you more space than most, so if you find shoes slightly snug rather than too narrow, a Rieker may be all you need.
If you know you need a wider fitting across the range, Remonte is the closest match: it's Rieker's sister brand, made by the same company, and every Remonte style is made on a G or an H. Jana is an H throughout, and Gabor and Caprice have G and H fittings on selected styles. Our size guide explains each fitting, and you'll find everything we stock in H and EE in our wide fit footwear (H & EE) section. If you're still unsure, give us a call on 01 8490847 and we'll talk it through.
Are Rieker shoes true to size?
Rieker styles generally run true to size in length, so your usual size is the right place to start. Where a particular style fits small or large, we say so on the product page. If you're between sizes or unsure, give us a call on 01 8490847, and with free returns within 30 days there's no risk in trying a pair at home.
Are Rieker shoes leather?
Some are. Rieker use leather, textile and synthetic uppers, and this season most of the styles we have are synthetic or textile, with a smaller number in leather or leather mixed with another material. The upper is listed in the details of every product, so you can check before you order.
Are Rieker shoes orthotic friendly?
Some are. Over a quarter of the Rieker styles we have this season come with a removable insole that lifts out to make room for your own orthotic. It's a realistic option rather than a guarantee, as orthotics vary, but we state it in the product description of every style that has one, and you can browse everything suitable in our orthotic friendly section.
Are Rieker shoes waterproof?
They're water resistant rather than waterproof. Look for RiekerTEX in the product name or details. Rieker describe it as a water-repellent membrane that protects against wet, cold and wind while staying breathable, so your feet don't overheat. We class RiekerTEX styles as water resistant: grand for a wet walk to the car or the school gate, but not made for standing in puddles. The product details on every style say which it is, and you can browse the full range in our waterproof & water resistant section.
