Swiss watches, cheese and chocolate are the most common representatives of this mysterious European kingdom. And the highest quality, I must say. The Swiss have always been able not only to produce a certain global must-have, but also to present it in such a way that any person who truly respects himself listens to this.
Another truly grandiose event in this power was the creation of a truly Swiss brand with all the ensuing consequences. The Rieker brand is the brightest representative of European quality in the shoe industry.
Company History
Founded in 1874 in Southern Germany, the shoe factory of Mr. Heinrich Riker made products for the wealthy inhabitants of Northern Italy. The company acquired its name and became a very famous family brand in Central Europe. The owners of Rieker were 5 generations of the surname, which ensured the preservation of the original unique quality, which was laid in the foundation of the brand by the first representative of the Swiss family.
In the early 1970s, the new brand owners moved the company’s headquarters to Switzerland. The main production moved from expensive Europe to countries that are famous for lower taxes. So, in Germany there was a factory manufacturing only product samples. Then they were sent to manufacturing branches for full-scale production:
-
Portugal;
-
North Africa;
-
Eastern Europe.
On average, Rieker Corporation daily produces about 35-50 thousand pairs of branded shoes, which are distinguished by functionality, practicality and Swiss longevity.
Features of Rieker shoes
The brand's shoes do not have a decorative or fashionable focus.The main emphasis in production is on wearing comfort, reducing the weight of the shoe and the elasticity of its components. They patented their own technology called AntiStress.
The features possessed by Rikier shoes are highly laudable:
-
Minimum weight.
-
Optimum cushioning on any surface.
-
Maximum elasticity and kickback. Manufacturers call this the “barefoot” effect.
-
A special form of shoes with a wide toe provides an extra legroom, which may increase, swelling at the end of the day.
Products of the Swiss brand with German roots differ from sports shoes in that it was created for a long-term stay in it throughout the day. Its functionality does not depend on the number of kilometers traveled or the height and intensity of jumps. The main quality is revealed when, at the end of the working day, a person feels in everyday shoes, like in slippers, almost without feeling them on their feet.
Women's shoes Rikier
Classics is a favorite theme of practical Swiss. In this they do not cease to convince their regular customers and fans. In the production of women's shoes, the company adheres to the principle: everything new is well forgotten old. And absolutely does not go beyond its own concept.
The main models of women's shoes from the company Rieker are comfortable and high-quality shoes. So, spring developments are made of thin genuine leather. Sometimes you can find suede lightweight models.
For light women's shoes, the company does not skimp on decor: flowers, original cutouts, chic buckles and straps, bows and even a mesh (for days as close to summer as possible).
Women's shoes for autumn are made of more dense material, they look already more restrained and closed in autumn. Fixing means are often straps, lacing or thick elastic.
Heel - always comfortable, stable, with a comfortable height. Basic colors: gray, black, brown. Sometimes designers go beyond the classic colors and create unique images with red, beige, white and even floral tones.
Customer reviews
It seems that the quality of such shoes is not even worth talking about. However, there are buyers who are categorically dissatisfied with the purchase. What is it: black PR or the banal inability of our people to use additional means of protection and prolong the life of shoes? Hard to tell. It is noteworthy that the number of positive reviews from Russian fashionistas is confidently approaching 90%.
Among the most popular and main qualities, users name:
-
concise unobtrusive design;
-
the average price, which is considered even slightly underestimated for shoes of this quality;
-
convenience in operation;
-
wide assortment in stores and developed retail network.
The main epithets for Rieker women's shoes are similar to the chanting of ancient Greek gods and the like: magnificent, inimitable, unearthly, best and so on.
If we talk about the reverse side of the reviews, then the picture here is as follows. Shoes do not like because:
-
“Get wet, dye, rub their feet” - a comment under a photo with a box of shoes on which the manufacturer carefully wrote: “They are not designed to be worn in rainy weather”;
-
“There are no spare heels” - at the same time the customer asks the question: is it really such “indestructible” material? And she answers herself: anyway, you have to change it, as in any other shoe;
-
"A specific style that does not fit all clothes." The main recommendation of any experienced qualified stylist: there are never too many shoes. Especially female. Of course, there are universal models, but would you like to go out in shoes in which you spent the whole day yesterday standing up / running off / leaving at work?
There are many reviews, and they are all different. Choose only for you.But the Swiss company for the production of additional comfort Rieker is responsible for its quality. Try and wear with pleasure and comfort for your legs.
