Footwear for different kinds of dates
The beauty of Valentine’s Day is that you can enjoy it your way. If you and your partner have been excited to indulge in the finer things for just one day a year, February 14th is the perfect time to do it.
However, fine dining and glamorous events might not be your style. If you’re more inclined to go out for a reserved date and take joy in life’s simple pleasures, Valentine’s is an amazing day to celebrate all the things you enjoy together.
Most importantly, however you celebrate the love you and your significant other share, there’s the right pair of shoes to match the occasion. Below are some popular Valentine’s Day date night ideas and our footwear recommendations for each.
High-end restaurant
A gorgeous meal at a fancy restaurant you and your partner have always dreamed of getting a table at is an opportunity that doesn’t come around every day. Channel all your excitement for the occasion and focus it on your outfit choice. Dress to the nines and sample aged fine wines with formal shoes that go beautifully with a dress or suit and tie.
Our ladies’ recommendations include slight heels that add height and elegance while maintaining your comfort so you can enter the restaurant and sit comfortably, ready to enjoy a special evening with your loved one.
Our recommendations also feature slick dress shoes that upgrade any jacket and trousers combo, perfect for men looking to add some class to their Valentine’s wardrobe.
Dinner and a movie
While the formality is brought down a touch, there’s no reason you can’t still look fantastic for dinner and a movie with your partner this Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re rewatching an old classic brought back to theatres for the occasion or taking in the latest blockbuster, you want to feel as good as you look.
Blend comfort and style effortlessly with footwear that seamlessly takes you from the restaurant table to the relaxing cinema recliners. Any smart-casual outfit is perfect for this occasion, and we have the right shoes to fit the look.
If you opt for a lightweight outfit, we have delicate shoes to make you feel like you’re walking on a cloud. Find that perfect balance between occasion and comfort with smart trainers in our recommendations.
A romantic walk
Staying in is sometimes the best possible date night, but why not take advantage of the brief sunlight we get during the winter by enjoying a romantic walk with your partner, fiance or spouse this Valentine’s Day? Explore scenic routes through the beautiful countryside, local parks and winter gardens, or the nation’s beaches.
For these dates, you want to choose footwear that supports your feet. Few things are more tedious than trying to enjoy a stroll while your feet start to ache, halting your progress and putting a damper on the moment.
Prioritising comfort and protection doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. At Rieker, we stock an incredible range of stylish walking shoes and boots that are the perfect foundation for stylish yet casual exercise outfits. Browse our recommendations and enjoy a peaceful walk in comfort.
