I ordered these in taupe suede. They are closer to a soft brown, than the rather orangey brown in the photo. They\'re very pretty and comfortable

I bought these shoes to replace a pair of flats I bought from La Redoute when I lived in Spain. I loved the shoes and was delighted to find these online; they were amazingly similar. When I received them I was actually very impressed given the sale price. They are better made than the ones I had and somewhat more elegant. They fit a little large so if you are a real five, get a five; should fit well.

Cute shoe. The first few times I wore them they were uncomfortable but once I broke them in they were comfortable. However, they do stretch a tiny bit. If I don\\\'t wear socks they occasionally flop off the back of my foot. I only paid half of what they originally cost so it is worth it for me.

I bought these shoes in Black Suede and Black Leather. They are really comfortable, but they run a bit large, so I went down half a size. The flowers on the suede are more prominent and they are very pretty shoes, I\'ve gotten quite a few compliments on them already. The leather shoes are not as dressy, the flowers blend in with the shoe more than on the suede shoes, but they are more practical for everyday because they don\'t get as dirty as easily as the suede.

I love the dressiness of this shoe, and it looks great with pants also. I ordered a size 8-1/2, but it's too large. Wish I had stuck to my usual size 8, and I think it would have been perfect. I ordered it in the brownish suede, a pretty medium brown. I have had less than successful foot surgery on both feet, and finding good quality and good fitting shoes is extremely difficult. Zappos shipping and return process makes shopping the best thing since sliced bread for me, and I can't thank you enough! The 365-day return policy is fantastic in case one becomes ill or some other problem happens to develop. Thanks again for being such a wonderful company, and it's a pleasure to do business with!

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.
