FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper provides some natural resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Use a leather-appropriate protective spray to increase water resistance.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the interior cushioning is designed to be compatible with most aftermarket or medical-grade orthotic inserts.
How do I determine if size 7 fits me?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing. We recommend ensuring you have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe for optimal comfort.
Do I need to break these in?
While the leather is soft, new shoes may take a few days of light wear to perfectly contour to your foot shape.
Is the side zip reliable for long-term use?
Yes, the zippers used on Rieker shoes are chosen for their durability, provided they are not forced when the shoe is laced too tightly.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty with the side zipper
Ensure no fabric or lace is caught in the zipper teeth. Applying a small amount of beeswax or paraffin wax to the zipper track can improve movement.
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a matching black leather polish or cream to buff out small scuffs and restore the uniform appearance of the leather.
Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Rieker shoes last as long as possible, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the leather and weaken adhesives.
- Weather Protection: Consider using a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against accidental spills or light rain.
Since these shoes feature a standard UK size 7 fit, they are designed to be worn with standard socks. If you use custom orthotic insoles, the factory-fitted cushioning is generally removable to accommodate your personal inserts.
