I'm writing this review for anyone thinking of buying any Rieker shoes. Long story short, don't! Save some of the space in your garbage can and read the full story below: It's not the first time I have bought poor-quality shoes because I didn't take the time to research them. However, they were cheap shoes I didn't expect much from, but they still looked fairly decent for 3 -4 seasons. But Rieker is something entirely different. In the store, they looked amazing and cost around $100. The clerk recommended and presented them to be of premium quality. Yet, I never expected them to fall apart in such a short time. I bought them by the end of January 2022 and wore them until the beginning of March. Now, I have worn them since November 1, and by the end of November, they look like I have walked with them through trenches. But, well, I live in the city, walk very little, and move around mainly by car. These Rieker shoes didn't last even four months. I bought them because I wanted to keep them for at least 2 years. I've never thought I'll have to dispose of them so fast. It's easy to blame the consumption-driven society for the state of the environment, but I firmly believe that companies such as Rieker that deliver products that wear off quickly are the problem that needs to be addressed first. No ESG or other environmental policy will make a difference as long as companies such as Rieker Shoes are allowed to fill the consumers' garbage cans with very poor-quality products every few weeks or months.
