The production

Good shoes need time and brains

“Made by Rieker” – our motto is the guideline for our work: The production of our shoes is in our own hands from the initial design to the finished product. This is how we achieve the high-quality standards to which our roots commit us.

Step by step
to the finished shoe

High-quality thanks to high vertical range of manufacture

Under the motto "Made by Rieker," our entire development and production process, from the last to the sole to the finished shoe, takes place in our three in-house design and development studios. Our founding headquarters in Tuttlingen, Germany, remains the core of our product development, where we refine our designs with meticulous attention to detail and the highest quality standards. Our products are manufactured in our factories in Morocco, Slovakia, Tunisia, and Vietnam. 

This exceptional and, therefore, unique vertical range of manufacture enables us to guarantee the high standards expected of us, apply our know-how, and thus achieve a high degree of flexibility. This helps us to respond quickly and effectively to market changes and trends.

We support retailers in a wide range of countries from our 16 sales locations worldwide. We also operate several of our stationery stores and online stores worldwide.
