I knew this before, but forgot, that Rieker shoes leak in water through stitching-holes that attach the soles to the uppers. Or rather I didn't notice the stitching-holes this time (July 2020) as these were under the soles and not lining the shoes. Used the shoes for the first time on a rainy day. I avoided all the puddles but my feet got soaking wet. I will only be able to wear the shoes basically indoors, which is ironic. I mentioned the problem to the seller and she just smiled and said that I could by silicone shoe covers at a spesific socks-store! No admitting that Rieker products are bad quality and normally leak through the soles. A lesson learned here. Rieker is good only for summer sandals as then your feet get wet anyway in the rain. When you see that Rieker shoes/boots are have soles and uppers stiched together, never buy them! I won't. Irritating that the money is lost though.
