Rieker Anti Stress Walking Shoes

When looking for footwear that is comfortable as well as attractive, Rieker anti stress walking shoes are an excellent investment to consider. The company has had over a hundred years of success in handcrafting shoes that are ideal for a long day's stroll…and can take you into the night as well.

Heinrich Rieker started his shoe company in 1845. By 1874, he had a factory in Tutlingen, Germany. The company passed into the care of his sons, and is still run by a member of the Rieker family. From the very beginning, the aim of the company was to construct shoes that were light, roomy and flexible and thus more practical for walking and standing around. Shoes in the 19th century tended to be heavy, especially for men, and while this could be useful, it wasn't always comfortable. Rieker was determined to provide shoes that were fashionable, practical and, especially, affordable.

So what is so special about Rieker anti stress walking shoes? For one thing, they are well designed and made of top-notch materials. The emphasis is on the lightweight, as this is what alleviates stress on the foot. Humans by nature are meant to walk barefoot, but of course this has become impossible in modern life. The next best thing is to wear shoes that emulate the sense of being barefoot by allowing for full foot movement and flexibility. The toe beds are wide enough to give the toes the space they need to move well, but fashion is not sacrificed – they still look great. The heels are sturdy and supportive, but also soft, so that weight is evenly distributed. The soles are meant to absorb all shock and continually cushion your feet, so that from the first time you put on your Riekers, you know you've stepped into something special.

Whether you need a women's sandal or a work shoe, there is a Rieker anti stress walking shoe for you. Some styles include:

• Alexa. A heeled sandal with a leather upper featuring decorative medallions, rivets and contrast stitching. The lining is a mix of leather and synthetic, all meant to cushion and wick moisture. The sole is synthetic with strong traction and grip for walking well on any surface.

• Celia. A lively, trendy shoe made of distressed leather with a variety of color themes and large ventilation adding to the breathability and comfort. It has a padded footbed, textured sole and zig-zag hook and loop closure. Very fun for summer.

• Zilli 06. From the Dorndorf division of Rieker, this is a great professional pump that features a vamp band and decorative bow and rivets. It has a leather lining that conforms to your foot's shape and provides support and cushioning all day long. It is recommended that you get this shoe in a half size smaller than your normal size.

• Zilli 76. A smart ankle boot that has a leather upper featuring a side bow. It has a side zip and textile insole for cushioning and support. Zappos.com customers have been pleased and point out that not only is the boot comfortable, but can be worn well with skirts or jeans.

• Heidrun 01. From the Remonte division of Rieker, this is a rich sandal made of soft leather for a look that's both modern and classic. There is an adjustable buckle on the ankle strap to allow for an even better fit. The synthetic lining wicks away moisture while the footbed offers the Rieker support and cushioning.

In addition to Zappos, most of the high-quality online shoe shops carry Rieker shoes. They are less easily found in brick-and-mortar shops, although better stores that sell comfortable footwear will likely have them. You many find that the prices are a bit higher than you'd like to spend, but these are shoes that are made to last, thus making them a great investment.
