FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specialized for high-impact sports.

How do I know if the extra-wide fit is right for me?

If you typically find standard-width shoes constricting or uncomfortable, especially after prolonged wear, the extra-wide fit is likely beneficial for you.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the faux leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition and comfort.

What is the best way to clean the blue faux leather?

Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap diluted in water, followed by a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

While this specific model is blue, Rieker offers various models and colors. Please check other product listings for available options.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and for their intended use (casual wear), these trainers are designed to last for a considerable period, typically over a year for regular wearers.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight despite being extra wide

Ensure the laces are fully loosened before putting them on. If still tight, consider if a size up might be necessary, although the extra-wide fit is designed for maximum comfort.

Faux leather surface shows scuffs

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specific faux leather repair product might be needed, following its instructions carefully.

Soles appear worn after moderate use

This could indicate heavy wear patterns. Ensure you are using them for their intended casual purpose and not for strenuous activities that could accelerate sole wear.

Discomfort on the top of the foot

Adjust the lacing system to reduce pressure on the instep. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly and is not bunched up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Ideal for adult males seeking casual footwear with an extra-wide fit. They are best suited for non-formal occasions and everyday wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the faux leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material.
  2. Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the material to crack or warp.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Ensure they are clean before long-term storage.
