Swiss watches, cheese and chocolate are the most stereotypical 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 world must-have, but also to present it in such a light that any truly self-respecting person would listen to this.
Another truly great event in this country was the creation of a true Swiss brand with all the ensuing consequences. The Rieker brand is the brightest representative of European quality in the shoe industry.
The history of the company
Founded in 1874 in southern Germany, the shoe factory of Mr. Heinrich Rieker manufactured products for wealthy people in 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 family, which ensured the preservation of the original unique quality, which was the basis of the trademark the first representative of the Swiss family.
In the early 1970s, 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 that manufactures only product samples. Then they were sent to the affiliates for full-scale production:
-
Portugal;
-
North Africa;
-
Eastern Europe.
On average, every day Rieker Corporation produces about 35-50 thousand pairs of branded shoes, which are distinguished by their functionality, practicality and Swiss longevity.
Rieker Shoe Features
Brand shoes have no decorative or fashionable orientation. The main emphasis in the production is on comfort when worn, reducing the weight of the shoe and the elasticity of its components. They have patented their own technology called Anti-Stress.
The features that Rikier shoes possess are quite commendable:
-
Minimum weight
-
Optimum depreciation on any surface.
-
Maximum elasticity and return from a sole. Manufacturers call this the “barefoot” effect.
-
The special form of shoes with a wide toe provides extra space for the foot, which can increase, swell at the end of the day.
Products of the Swiss brand with German roots differs from sports shoes in that it is designed 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 found when, at the end of the working day, a person feels in everyday shoes, as in slippers, practically not feeling it on his feet.
Women's shoes Rikier
Classic is a favorite topic 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 not beyond its own concept.
The main models of women's shoes from the company Rieker - comfortable and high-quality shoes. So, spring developments are made of fine natural leather. Sometimes you can find suede lightweight models.
For lightweight women's shoes, the company does not skimp on decor: flowers, original cutouts, elegant buckles and straps, bows, and even mesh (for days as close to summer as possible).
Women's shoes for autumn are made of a more dense material, they look more restrained and closed in autumn.The locking devices are often straps, lacing or tight elastic.
Heel - always comfortable, steady, with a comfortable height. The main colors: gray, black, brown. Sometimes designers go beyond the classic colors and create unique images with red, beige, white and even floral tone.
Customer Reviews
It seems that the quality of such shoes is not even worth mentioning. However, there are buyers 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? It is hard to say. It is noteworthy that the number of positive reviews from Russian fashionistas is steadily approaching 90%.
Among the most popular and main qualities, users call:
-
concise unobtrusive design;
-
the average price, which is considered even slightly understated for shoes of such quality;
-
ease of use;
-
wide assortment in shops and a developed retail network.
The main epithets addressed to Rieker's 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, the picture here is as follows. Shoes do not like because:
-
“Get wet, paint, rub feet” - a comment under the photo with a box of shoes, on which the manufacturer carefully wrote: “Not intended to be worn in rainy weather”;
-
“There are no spare taps” - while the buyer asks herself: is it really that “unkillable” material? And she answers herself: you still have to change everything, just like in any other shoe;
-
"A specific style that does not fit any clothing." The main recommendation of any experienced skilled stylist: shoes do not happen much. Especially female. Of course, there are universal models, but would you like to go out in shoes in which you defended / ran off / left at work the whole day yesterday?
There are many reviews, and they are all different. Choose only you. But the Swiss company for the production of additional comfort Rieker is responsible for its quality. Try on and wear with pleasure and comfort for your legs.
