FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Rieker 55956 shoes are designed with a regular width. They may not be suitable for individuals with significantly wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider shoes specifically labeled for wider fits.
How do I adjust the bungee stretch laces?
The bungee laces are designed for a slip-on style. You can typically adjust the tension by pulling or pushing the toggle or knot mechanism (if present) to achieve your desired fit. Once set, they should maintain their position.
What is the heel height of these sandals?
The heel height is low, measuring approximately 27mm (2.7cm).
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the TPE sole offers some protection, the nubuck upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to slightly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
Given the comfort footbed and breathable design, thin or no-show socks are generally recommended to maximize comfort and breathability. However, they are designed to be comfortable even when worn without socks.
How heavy are these shoes?
The item weight is approximately 900g, making them a lightweight option for comfortable all-day wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight after initial wear
The bungee stretch laces allow for some adjustment. Try loosening them slightly for a more relaxed fit. Nubuck also has a slight give over time.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks on nubuck
Use a specialized nubuck cleaning eraser for tougher spots. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaning service.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the TPE sole is clean. If the issue persists, consider a sole protector or a shoe repair specialist for grip enhancement.
