Sneakers - black leather, brown sole

Cool Rieker sneakers! These black leather sneakers are not only good-looking but also wonderfully soft and light on the feet. The brown sole is a nice detail with the black leather and white accents. The width is comfortably medium, and the toe box is slightly rounded; the leather molds and the laces allow adjustment for a perfect fit as needed. Suitable for many types of feet! The shoes feature Rieker’s ergonomically designed soft Swing2Go insoles, which feel comfortable on the feet. These make great reliable shoes for any occasion!

Maria the merchant’s medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• A “flipper” shape, meaning the toes are almost equally long, with no pronounced curve at the toe line 😊
• A slightly rounded toe box suits best; very pointed shapes often don’t have enough room for Maria’s big toe
• Usually wears size 43, with a medium-wide G last or a wide H last
• In barefoot shoes, typically size 42, because there’s enough room for the toes
• Length of the longer foot 26.8 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

Maria’s size choice is 43. In terms of length, size 42 would be better, as size 43 is slightly too long for Maria. However, by adjusting the fit with the laces, it became good and supportive. The width of 43 felt better, and the big toes settled well. A nicely spacious last and a rounder toe box, with laces allowing good fit adjustment. The shoes’ own insole is quite thick, so by replacing it with a thinner one, even more space can be gained if needed. Such light and wonderfully soft shoes!

Sanna the merchant’s narrow/medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• The toes form a gentle diagonal line – the tips go in "length order" 😊
• Usually size 39–40 depending on the model
• Slightly narrow F width or medium G width
• Length of the longer foot 25.2 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 9.8 cm

For Sanna’s slightly narrow foot, size 40 is just right; it felt very good at the ball of the foot. In terms of length, size 40 was correct for Sanna, and these feel so comfortably soft! Sanna has a narrow heel, and this model was a bit loose at the heel for her. Cool shoes!
