FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The stitchdown construction provides flexibility, which allows the shoe to adapt to various foot shapes. While not specifically labeled as 'wide fit,' many users find the flexible material and construction accommodating for average to slightly wider feet.
Can I replace the insole with my custom orthotics?
No, the Rieker N3271 shoes feature a non-removable MemoSoft cover sole for integrated cushioning. This means you cannot easily remove it to insert your own custom orthotics.
What is the RIRICON sole made of?
The RIRICON sole is a proprietary synthetic sole developed by Rieker, known for being lightweight, flexible, and offering excellent shock absorption for enhanced walking comfort.
How do I clean the faux leather material?
Gently wipe the faux leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made of faux leather and are designed for general wear. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or standing water to maintain their condition.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Rieker shoes typically run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. The elasticated design and flexible material help ensure a comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially
While the elastic and flexible construction are designed for immediate comfort, wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot's unique shape. The faux leather and stitchdown construction will become more accommodating with wear.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The RIRICON sole is designed for walking comfort. In new shoes, the sole tread may be very smooth. For increased grip, gently scuff the soles on a rough surface like concrete for a few minutes. Avoid walking on extremely wet or icy surfaces if unsure of traction.
Faux leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the area with a damp cloth. For light scuffs, a faux leather repair kit or polish specifically designed for faux leather can help restore the finish. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Elastic band feels loose over time
The elastic band is designed for durability. If it feels too loose, check for any stretching or damage. Ensure the shoes are not being stored in a way that puts constant tension on the elastic. If the issue persists, professional shoe repair may be an option.

Sizing & Fit

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: For the faux leather upper, gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the faux leather.
- Protection: To maintain the appearance and prolong the life of the faux leather, consider using a faux leather conditioner or protector spray. Test any new product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for general casual and everyday wear. They pair well with various outfits, from jeans and trousers to skirts and dresses, offering versatile style.
