FAQs
Are Rieker Herbie Trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
No, these trainers are specifically designed for everyday comfort and casual wear, not for high-impact activities like running or rigorous sports. Their construction prioritizes cushioning and ease for daily use.
How do I clean my purple leather trainers?
Wipe off dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner, then air dry. Periodically apply a leather conditioner to maintain the leather's suppleness. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are the bungee laces adjustable or replaceable?
The bungee laces provide a flexible, slip-on fit. While they offer some inherent flexibility, they are generally not designed for significant manual adjustment or easy replacement like traditional laces. They are intended for convenience.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture. However, they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray for enhanced water resistance in damp conditions.
What is the benefit of a Memory Foam footbed?
The Memory Foam footbed molds to the unique shape of your foot, providing personalized cushioning and support. This helps to distribute pressure evenly, reduce impact, and enhance overall comfort during prolonged wear.
How do I ensure the best fit with bungee laces?
These trainers are true to size (UK 3 for this specific variant). For bungee laces, try them on and walk around. The system is designed to provide a comfortable, secure fit without needing manual adjustment, relying on the footbed for support.
Can I wear these trainers in all seasons?
The leather material makes them suitable for most seasons. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold, nor are they as breathable as mesh trainers for very hot weather. They are best for spring, summer (cooler days), and autumn.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
While bungee laces offer flexibility, ensure you have the correct size. If slightly loose, try wearing thicker socks. If tight, give the leather some time to adapt and mold to your foot, as it naturally stretches with wear.
Bungee lace tension doesn't feel right
The bungee system is designed for ease. If you feel it's too loose, you might be able to gently pull the bungee cord to tighten it and secure it with its stopper (if present). If too tight, gently stretch the bungee or ensure your foot is properly seated.
Leather appears dull or has minor scuffs
Clean the area with a soft, damp cloth. For dullness, apply a small amount of leather conditioner and buff gently with a clean cloth. For scuffs, a matching leather cream or polish can help minimize their appearance.
Footbed comfort decreases over time
The Memory Foam footbed is designed for long-lasting comfort. If you notice a decrease, ensure the trainers are kept clean and dry. For significant wear, consider if the trainers need replacing or if an additional thin insole could refresh the feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
Using your Rieker Herbie Trainers is straightforward. Simply slide your foot into the shoe. The bungee lace system will provide a snug and flexible fit without the need for traditional tying. Adjust the tension slightly by pulling the bungee if needed, though they are designed to be largely self-adjusting for convenience.

Their versatile casual style makes them compatible with a wide range of everyday outfits, from jeans and leggings to casual dresses and skirts. They are best suited for urban environments, casual social gatherings, and light recreational activities.
Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For more stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner, applying it sparingly.
- Drying: If wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially during inclement weather.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
