I absolutely LOVE my Rieker shoes. I dont know if I was just lucky or what, but I would have save that money I spent if I knew but its okay. Might take them hiking as well, but for now theyre just the warm weather work shoe. I think they upgraded/updated their parts list and never went back to update the instructions. Takes little space and it was super easy to hand without the nails. Not like the ones I bought at the Nike store. i was definitely surprised by how flimsy the soles were, while there are no scuff marks anywhere on the shoe - so its not like the shoe has seen a lot of wear and tear. 5 Medium. Maybe the potential for further stories leaves me wanting more, which may indeed have been the authors intention! Very comfortable to wear and a great range of adjustment for comfortable fit.
