There are few feelings like opening a box of fresh, stylish trainers. Outfit ideas and occasions where you’ll get to show them off will flood in, and that first wear will evoke a special joy that only certain shoes can achieve. One feeling that might just top it is giving this experience to someone else.
Whether for Christmas, a birthday, or a surprise gift to someone you want to spoil, trainers are always a guaranteed success.
But what trainers should you give? Well, that depends on who you’re buying for, their style and what they need from their shoes. At Rieker, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide so you’ll know exactly what kind of trainers to give your loved one.

What are the best trainers for wide feet?
Knowing what your giftee needs from their shoes in a practical sense is just as important as knowing their style and what would suit them best. Has your friend or loved one talked about their struggles finding comfortable footwear or discussed the difficulties of finding suitable shoes for wide feet? Here’s your chance to put that knowledge to use.
Good wide-fitting trainers provide ample room for additional support, such as insoles, and eliminate stuffiness and restriction. This freedom also greatly lowers the risk of blistering. The extra space also gives these shoes fantastic breathability as moisture can easily disperse and exit the shoe.

The versatility of modern trainers means your gift doesn’t serve just one purpose. Depending on the style of trainers you choose, your giftee can use them casually for simple strolls or taking out the dog while also using them as the base for a stylish, smart-casual outfit when they hit the town.

What are the best trainers for walking?
Do you have a friend who loves hiking or a parent looking to increase their daily step count? A pair of trainers that makes walking easier and stress-free is the perfect gift. You’ll need to find shoes that provide sufficient support for long treks no matter the terrain and fight against blistering and other wear and tear.
You never know what the weather may bring while on a long walk, so it’s smart to give your loved one shoes with water-resistant properties. At Rieker, we recommend our range of TEX shoes for men and ladies that feature a water-repellent high-tech membrane to protect against harsh conditions.
The membrane between the outer material and inner lining forms a protective layer against water and cold temperatures while providing exceptional breathability. All these practical benefits only add to the expert style and design these trainers provide.
Give the gift of protection, style and comfort with protective trainers. You can even pick up a pair for yourself and join the giftee on a hike!
What trainers are best for the gym?
Whether you’re buying shoes for a gym enthusiast or a novice looking to get into it, gym trainers must be durable and adaptable to the various exercises your friends will be doing. High-intensity exercise, for example, will require trainers that can take the brunt of hitting the ground for the wearer.
Providing a firm landing without impacting comfort or positioning is key, and all of our trainers at Rieker are made with shock-absorbing properties that create these exact benefits. Browse our sports shoes for men and ladies today to give that friend the encouragement they need.
What are the comfiest trainers?
The primary reason that people love wearing trainers is the comfort! While trainers have made their way to the forefront of style, comfort should always be considered. If you can’t feel comfortable while wearing trainers, when can you?
At Rieker, our trainers are made to be comfortable without sacrificing style. Thanks to a blend of detailed design and dedicated craftsmanship, all trainers in our collection feel as good as they look. A big part of what makes Rieker trainers unique is that each pair features antistress properties to make walking feel easier and stress-free.
Antistress technology comprises four key properties: reflexibility, shock absorption, a lightweight feel, and more room.
Reflexibility lessens the restrictions other shoes may place on your feet and allows your muscles to operate as they should. The shock-absorbing properties let your shoes do the work while you walk, and the lightweight design helps contribute to this, enhancing your comfort wherever you go. Antistress shoes adapt to your feet, not the other way around! Ample room allows your feet to breathe while maintaining a comfortable fit.
