Bugatti (or Rieker) shoes

    I've been looking to buy a pair of Bugatti or Rieker shoes online, but they generally seem to come only in half sizes, i.e., 7.5, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5. I am trying to buy these as a present for someone who takes a size 10 but am not sure whether a 9.5 or 10.5 would be better.

    Has anyone any experience in how these shoes fit - are they large or small fitting?

    Sites like spartoo have often advice about fit. Quite a few of the Bugatti models have advice to take a size smaller.

    Go to a website with free returns/shipping over 50 euro and you should be ok.

    Any chance you are based in Dublin? Lipstick in Nutgrove Shopping Centre sell them.

    Given that it's Amazon I'm looking at buying from, how did you find their sizing compared to usual shoe size?

    Rieker tend to be standard fitting in my experience. I wouldn't get the half size if she is not a half size.

    Purpletag.ie have good range of rieker.
    I'm a recent convert to rieker due to long hours on the feet. (Also good are Gabor and Mephisto).
    I'm a 5 BUT last week tried on a 5 in a real store of the Rieker pair i was eyeing up online only to find they a little bit tight. Now I think this may be due to shoe material so I'd be hesitant in purchase online unless decent returns policy.
    Afaik purpletag offer free delivery & returns. Haven't used them myself yet but a friend uses them regularly.

    Just want to put in a good word for that website:purpletag.ie.
    Ordered two pairs of rieker yesterday, delivered by postman this morning. Hubyy gone off in his new shoes there now. Very happy with them.
