FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the 33mm heel and flexible RIRICON sole are designed for walking comfort, though they are primarily intended for everyday lifestyle wear rather than athletic walking.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The perforated upper design allows water to enter the shoe easily, and moisture may affect the material finish.
What is the primary material of the sole?
The sole is made of RIRICON, a specialized material developed by Rieker to provide shock absorption and durability.
Is the heel height measured from the back?
The 33mm measurement refers to the total height of the heel, providing a comfortable elevation for daily use.
Do these shoes come in other sizes?
Yes, the 47078 series is available in various sizes; check your specific retailer for availability in your desired UK size.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels too loose
Adjust the buckle mechanism on the slingback strap to a tighter setting to ensure the shoe stays secure on the heel.
Visible dust in perforations
Use a soft-bristled brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove debris from the perforated cutouts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on style slingbacks, no complex setup is required. When first trying them on, ensure the strap is adjusted to sit comfortably against the heel without digging into the skin.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the silver metallic surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the silver finish.
- Maintenance: Since these are not waterproof, use a water-repellent spray specifically safe for metallic synthetic leathers if you expect light mist, but avoid submersion.
- Inspection: Regularly check the RIRICON sole for trapped debris in the tread to maintain optimal grip.
