FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the synthetic leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable water-repellent spray for enhanced protection in wet conditions.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of the Rieker Delaware Ankle Boots is made from high-quality synthetic leather, offering durability and easy maintenance.
How should I clean my boots?
For the synthetic leather upper, wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild cleaner designed for synthetic materials. Air dry away from direct heat. Refer to the 'Care' section for detailed instructions.
Are these boots suitable for winter?
Yes, with their warm lining, Rieker Delaware Ankle Boots are well-suited for cooler autumn and winter weather, providing comfort and warmth.
Do these boots run true to size?
Rieker footwear typically runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up or down based on your preference for fit with socks.
What is a TPE sole?
TPE stands for Thermoplastic Elastomer. TPE soles are known for their durability, flexibility, and good traction, making them a popular choice for comfortable and long-lasting footwear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow a short break-in period, as the materials may soften slightly with wear. Adjust the laces to a comfortable tension; they should be snug but not restrictive.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the TPE sole offers good traction, always exercise caution on extremely wet or icy surfaces. Ensure the sole treads are clean and free of mud or debris.
Boots appear dull or dirty.
Clean the synthetic leather upper as described in the 'Care' section using a damp cloth and a mild cleaner if necessary. Regular cleaning helps maintain their appearance.
Foot odor develops.
Allow boots to air out between wears. Consider using foot powder or odor-absorbing insoles. Ensure your socks are clean and breathable.

- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the material.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for synthetic materials to repel water and stains.
