The best shoes for travelling
While it’s important to consider what you’ll be doing on your trip when you choose your shoes, it’s just as important to choose appropriate footwear for the journey there and back. Start your holiday right by choosing shoes that immediately bring that comfort we all associate with vacations.
No matter how you travel, comfort is essential. Whether you’re flying, taking a trip in the car or catching the train to your destination, we have the right shoes for you. Our range of Rieker Sport shoes features comfortable trainers that are incredibly versatile.
Slip into relaxation on your journey with lightweight shoes that can help you feel fresh and ready to holiday as soon as you touch down. If you’re conscious about sacrificing style for comfort while in transit, you can put your worries to rest.
Our trainers hit the sweet spot of modern casual fashion. They can be paired perfectly with smart jeans, tops and any other outfits you feel comfortable travelling in. Transition straight from your seat to the street with fashionable and easy-walking shoes made for your comfort.
Most comfortable shoes for city walking
A city break can be exhilarating. So many things to do and see while taking in the atmosphere and culture of somewhere completely new to your eyes. Some days, it’ll feel like you’ve not had the chance to sit down, which can take a toll on your feet.
Of course, heading to the city requires a fashionable look, so we’ve gathered our favourite footwear that ticks all the right boxes for a trip to the city.
Best boots for city walking
At Rieker, we believe every season is boots season, so whatever time of year you decide to travel, we recommend packing a pair. So many chic city looks are elevated by the right pair of boots, and you’ll need a pair that supports you during your busy trip.
Chelsea boots are incredibly flexible when putting together an outfit. They go perfectly with jeans, dresses, leggings and any other city-centric wardrobe. They also provide firm support that keeps you comfortable throughout your visits to various landmarks, stores and cafés.
Our favourites include these stunning blue ankle boots, which allows you to switch up your style while remaining consistently comfortable.
Best trainers for city walking
Trainers are often your best bet for holidays that involve plenty of walking. Use modern style and casual culture to your advantage by creating an effortlessly fashionable look that pairs trendy trainers with blazers, jeans, jumpers, and more.
Trainers can also be ideal for cities that feature tricky terrain. Rome, for example, is famous for its cobblestone streets. Walking through the Eternal City in sandals or heels may prove tricky and uncomfortable, so a pair of lightweight and flexible trainers should certainly be your top choice.
Other locations that suit trainers due to their environment are hilly cities such as Edinburgh, Prague and San Francisco. On the other hand, places with abundant culture to see and experience, like New York, Amsterdam and Barcelona, will require shoes that protect your feet.
Blend practicality and style perfectly with our white lace-up canvas-style shoes.
Best hiking holiday shoes
Some may see travelling around a new city as an active holiday, but hiking is a completely different level! No rest or relaxation here. Hiking is all about experiencing the highs of pushing yourself to your limits and the satisfaction of reaching the summit of a mountain or tricky hillside.
Fashion is probably not a priority for this type of activity. Comfort and protective clothing are the priority, and our Rieker Sport Boots offer both.
Choose footwear that provides the extra strength to get through the rough terrain and enhances your performance. Our boots allow you to push through and benefit from the properties that protect your feet on any terrain while ensuring there’s room for sufficient movement and breathability.
Best shoes for seaside trips
From testing your endurance to resting in style, we do it all here at Rieker! Seaside holidays in the UK and abroad are the ultimate way to let your hair down and enjoy the sun and sea during the summer. Pack the suncream, bathing suits, sunglasses and, of course, the sandals!
Sandals are necessary for any beach trip. They help you stay comfortable walking along the seafront while enjoying the beautiful, fresh coastal air. Our collection features several stunning designs that elevate your warm-weather wardrobe while providing optimal comfort with lightweight and breathable properties.
For a more modern design and a sole built to support movement and long, relaxing walks on the beach, browse our amazing Rieker Sport sandals. A pair of sporty, fashionable sandals can make your holiday even better thanks to the boost they provide when you partake in a summer stroll.
