FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Rieker shoes are generally known for their accommodating fits, but as these are lace-up suede trainers, the fit is highly adjustable to different foot widths.
Can the insoles be replaced?
The trainers feature an integrated EVA inlet for cushioning; while the interior is designed for comfort, we recommend checking if your specific orthotics fit comfortably over the existing construction.
Is the suede material waterproof?
No, the suede is not naturally waterproof. We strongly recommend using a protective spray to enhance water resistance.
How high is the platform sole?
The platform height is 46mm, providing a comfortable elevation that supports the natural gait.
What is the best way to clean the black suede?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. Avoid using water or standard soap, as this can damage the material texture.
Troubleshooting
Suede surface looking flat or worn
Use a suede brush to gently agitate the fibers back to their original texture.
Difficulty keeping the laces secure
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly to distribute tension and consider a double-knot if they loosen during high activity.
Accumulation of dirt on the platform sole
Wipe the thermoplastic elastomer surface with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the clean look of the white or contrast sole unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rieker trainers, proper maintenance is essential:
- Initial Protection: Treat the suede upper with a water-repellent spray before the first use to protect against light rain and stains.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt or surface dust. For stubborn marks, use a suede-specific cleaning eraser.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Maintenance: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink.
