Product Information
Full details
These white Rieker leather trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of comfort and style. They offer a secure fit with a combination of lacing and a side zipper for easy on and off, a flexible sole, and a spacious fit thanks to their H width. A potential consideration is that while they are trainers, their refined leather finish might influence their suitability for highly athletic activities compared to dedicated sports shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, these trainers are designed with an 'H' width, which is considered extra width, offering more space for comfort.
How do I clean the white leather material?
Wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a product specifically designed for white leather, testing on a small area first.
Can the insole be removed?
Yes, the insole is padded and removable, allowing for easy cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 29mm (or about 3 cm).
Are these trainers good for long walks or standing?
Yes, the combination of a flexible sole, padded insole, and spacious fit makes them very comfortable for extended wear, walking, and standing.
How durable is the stitchdown construction?
The stitchdown construction is known for its robustness, contributing to the shoe's durability and the sole's flexibility.
Can I wear these for sports activities?
These trainers are designed for comfort and style in everyday wear. While they offer good grip, they may not provide the specific support or cushioning required for high-impact sports.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the side zipper
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. Try wiggling the zipper gently. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip rubbed on the teeth can help.
Insole feels uncomfortable or misplaced
Ensure the insole is correctly seated in the shoe. If it's still uncomfortable, try wearing the shoes without the insole if you prefer a flatter feel, or replace it with a different compatible insole.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
While the sole is grippy, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. For significantly slippery conditions, consider using shoe grips designed for icy or wet surfaces.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more significant marks, use a leather cleaner and conditioner appropriate for white leather, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
