Great shoe! This is a great looking shoe. If you like Converse, this is a must have. Only thing... I recommend getting a full 1.5 size down from what you normally wear. I am a size 9 and ordered the size 8.5 (as recommended). The 8.5 was still a full size too big. Zappos service is incredible. Super fast shipping.

Great summer shoe! Order the chocolate and natural. Beautiful, fun, washed looked. I'm going to wear mine with my summer skirts and t's. I almost always wear an 8 (even with Uggs, I order the true 8 and they fit perfectly) but returning these for 7.5. Tried the 7s and they're too small. Also, at $50, they're cheaper than other places I first saw them.

Size-down! Usually wear women's 9 med, I ordered 8 1/2 [9 was out of stock.] I think I could have even ordered an 8, as the shoe is wide & generous. Very cute!

I bought the green apple ones. very cool. They do run pretty large. I'm usually a women's size 10 and I ordered them in 7.5 and they're fine. I like that they're a slip on but give a different look than the Vans or Sperry slip ons.

A great spring shoe! This shoe is so comfy and cute for spring! It does run a full size large though. The colors have that beach worn hue - you'll want them all! Zappos service is amazing - I ordered at 9pm with standard shipping and they were on my feet at 2pm THE NEXT DAY!

:( My ankles are small for this shoe! This is not like a Vans slip on where there is padding around your ankle to hold your foot in. The only elastic is not until the 3rd eyelet up from the ankle. Not good for a woman's foot! My heel kept slipping out. Not true to normal Converse size because of this.

Converse slip ons - I love the shoe, but they were on the large size; even though recommended a 7 men's for a 9 womens, they were too big, but solved it by putting in my custom foot beds to give good arch support. I love them now and wear them all the time. Very comfortable, Zappo service fabulous, will use you again

Like the reviews below mine, I also felt that these shoes were a size larger than marked - I guess I should have read the testimonals before I bought them! The fit is still ok, but they look oddly long to me, like clown shoes. (Though maybe that's because I bought them in red.) The vintage look that they have in the picture kind of comes off as unfinished and dilapidated in reality, but they're still cute and very comfy. What impressed me the most, though, is that I ordered the shoes Monday morning, chose the free shipping, and received them Tuesday afternoon. This was my first Zappos.com purchase, and that definitely sold me on them.

Really Hot Slip-On!! I love this shoe and my kids do too!! The kids shoes were true to size, the adult size is at least a half size larger in this shoe.

Rieker 16178 - Very comfortable -would like this shoe with leather soles. I do not see any leather soled sandals in your web site. Do you have any? Rieker did make them and I bought them many times in Germany -last in 1997.

Like the way this shoe looks and feels, but not for the flat footed heavyweight who slogs through wallmart. Sorry I had to return this classic beauty with ventilation slits and woven top. Had trouble inserting my foot. Seemed smaller than than my size. Thanks for your expedient and costless return policy. I'm still on the hunt, and rarely return anything.

This shoe looked even better in person. I have been looking for a summer shoe like this in black. The fit is a liitle small and tight I would recommend ordering a larger size.

The new collection is not very good - I have bought both 16178 in both colours, one (brown) pair was smaller than my size (I cannot walk longer tracks with them, otherwise that anti-sress system is pretty stressful) and one (black) pair was larger, so I have to use soles and wear thick socks... I think older collections were perfect, I've been buying two Anti-stress Rieker pairs a year for 7 years, but there is something wrong about the last collection... Rieker, make it better the next time!

I have always had trouble finding shoes that fit me comfortably. After many years of daily use, I am finally wearing out my old pair of Rieker shoes, so I bought this new pair, and, once again, Rieker shoes are the most comfortable and durable shoes I have ever owned. They are simply the best.

Rieker's 16178 - A great shoe, but I found the Mahogany color in the picture on the web site does not match the color received. Order a size larger then you normally wear, you'll be glad you did.

Rieker loafer - I discovered Rieker shoes during a trip to Germany and have bought no other loafer since. It is lightweight and comfortable, good looking and reasonably priced.

I'd buy another pair - Thanks, Zappos, for a website that's navigable, easy to order from, and customer-service driven. I like the Rieker 16178 shoe that I bought. Great fit (my usual size), great look, and the ventilation helps (the shoe is more ventilated than the picture indicates). However, the shoe does takes its toll on my feet when I have to stand for several hours while I work. I bought cushioned implants and they help greatly. I plan to buy another pair of these shoes soon. Merry Christmas! And it's true - Jesus truly is the Answer to those deep, nagging questions.
