Full details
These Rieker low shoes in green, UK size 8, are designed for adult males seeking both style and exceptional comfort for everyday wear. The key benefit is the combination of a classic aesthetic with practical features like a functional zipper and lacing system, and a very light, flexible sole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
These Rieker shoes feature a classic design that leans towards smart-casual wear. While they can be dressed up slightly, they are primarily designed for comfort and daily use rather than highly formal events.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These shoes are not specifically designed as waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are properly dried if they get wet.
How do I determine if the 'H' width is correct for me?
The 'H' width indicates an extra-wide fit. If you find standard width shoes pinch your feet or feel restrictive, especially across the ball of your foot, the 'H' width is likely suitable. It's recommended to try them on to confirm comfort.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is constructed from a combination of CM-EVA and Rubber, providing a balance of flexibility, lightness, and durability.
How often should I clean the shoes?
Regular light cleaning with a damp cloth after wear can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning or specific care depends on usage and environmental conditions.
Can the lacing be adjusted for a tighter fit?
Yes, the traditional lacing system allows for adjustment to achieve a more personalized and secure fit across the top of the foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite being extra wide.
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before putting the shoes on, and utilize the side zipper for easier entry. If still tight, consider if the 'H' width is sufficient for your specific needs, as some foot conditions may require specialized footwear.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Insole feels less supportive over time.
The insole is removable. You can try repositioning it, or if it's significantly worn, consider replacing it with a new Rieker Soft insole or a compatible third-party insole of similar thickness.
Minor scuffs on the exterior.
For light scuffs, try using a damp cloth to wipe the area. For more noticeable marks, consult a shoe care guide specific to the material (if known) or consider a color-matched shoe cream or polish, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes require no assembly. Simply unpack and wear.
Compatibility:
- Insoles: The Rieker Soft insole is removable, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics or specialized insoles if needed. Ensure any replacement insoles are of a similar or thinner profile to maintain proper fit.
- Foot Width: Designed with an extra-wide 'H' fit, these shoes are best suited for individuals with wider foot profiles. They may not provide an optimal fit for those with narrow feet.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can alter the shape and material.
- Insole Care: The removable insole can be taken out and spot-cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
