Product Information
Full details
The Rieker Munzi Tex Trainers are ideal for adults seeking a versatile everyday shoe that balances comfort with weather protection. These trainers feature a water-repellent, breathable membrane and an elastic scuba-style construction, providing a secure, sock-like fit that supports the foot during daily activities. While the shoes offer excellent functional protection, they are specifically designed for casual wear rather than high-intensity athletic performance.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the specialized TEX membrane and the structure of the leather or suede. Stick to surface cleaning.
Can I use these for hiking?
These are designed as casual fashion trainers. While they are durable, they lack the aggressive tread and ankle support required for hiking on rugged terrain.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, ensure you adjust the lacing to accommodate the elastic upper.
Is the material real leather?
The series uses either leather or suede, depending on the specific model and colour variant you choose.
Do they provide arch support?
Rieker shoes are known for their comfort-focused designs, but they are not orthopaedic shoes; you can insert your own thin insoles if you require additional arch support.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the instep
Loosen the laces to allow the elastic scuba upper to expand, then adjust to your preferred comfort level.
Water repellency seems to be fading
Apply a high-quality, textile-safe waterproofing spray according to the product instructions to restore the barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Rieker Munzi Tex trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: The elastic design minimizes the break-in period, but it is recommended to wear them indoors for short periods before long walks.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt from the suede or leather surfaces. For the outsole, a damp cloth is usually sufficient.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather or suede to crack or deform.
- Protection: Regularly apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for the specific material (leather or suede) to maintain the integrity of the TEX membrane.
