My size 43/9, with Gabor boots even I only need a Gr. 42.5. These boots in size 43 are much too small! It looks like Gr. 42, at Gr. 42.5 there will already be scarce, perhaps then only with very thin socks? Very very good for me! Sorry to return. Is my first experience with Rieker Shoes. I'm very pleasantly surpised and would have loved to keep these boots. Super quality! Beautiful shape: my size feet see where good. Very soft leather. Antistress shoes and one spurt when walking: soft and quiet. Very nice color. Excellent soft Furniture: nothing pushes and nothing rubs. Also the upper edges do not cut in. The shoes do not stink and do not smear from the color. I can not name any negative points. They are great, not just every day, but also for the office (with dark laces ?!) Conclusion: Good quality for a reasonable price! I have already seen a large amount even to expensive shoes - just have a good quality. Unfortunately, also a very beloved by me, X-brand makes last time the shoes of poor quality and the still for about 140 euros for the boots.
