FAQs

How do I clean my Rieker Sphere Riptape Sandals?

Gently wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, following its instructions. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

Are these sandals waterproof?

No, as they feature leather uppers and linings, these sandals are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water to protect the leather.

What kind of occasions are these sandals suitable for?

These sandals are perfect for everyday casual wear, light walks, social gatherings, and other non-strenuous activities. Their elegant design also makes them suitable for smart-casual events.

What is the heel height of these sandals?

The Rieker Sphere Riptape Sandals have a comfortable heel height of 3.2cm.

Are these sandals true to size?

Rieker generally aims for a standard fit. For the most accurate sizing, we recommend referring to a standard UK shoe size chart, and if you are between sizes, consider ordering the larger size for comfort.

Do these sandals offer arch support?

Info needed: While Rieker is known for comfort, specific arch support details for this model are not provided. They are designed for general comfort and everyday use.

Can I wear these sandals for long walks or hikes?

These sandals are designed for everyday comfort and light walking. For long walks, extensive hiking, or rugged terrain, we recommend footwear specifically designed for those activities to ensure optimal support and durability.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the rip-tape fastenings. Ensure they are snug enough to secure your foot without causing pressure points. The beauty of rip-tape is the ability to fine-tune the fit.

Foot is slipping inside the sandal

First, ensure the rip-tape fastenings are adjusted correctly for a secure fit. If slipping persists, clean the footbed and your feet to remove any moisture or oils that might reduce friction. For external slipping, ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.

Leather appears dull or dry

Clean the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This will restore moisture and help maintain the leather's natural luster and suppleness.

Unpleasant odor developing

Allow sandals to air out fully after each wear. If odor persists, sprinkle baking soda inside the sandals overnight to absorb moisture and smells, then shake it out in the morning. Alternatively, use a shoe deodorizer spray.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Rieker Sphere Riptape Sandals with their leather uppers and linings, follow these care tips:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe bags to protect them from dust and scratches.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or solvents on the leather, as these can strip its natural oils and cause damage.
