Sympatex® membrane
Every RICHTER shoe meets the highest standards of functionality and fit. It uses only high-quality and environmentally compatible materials to manufacture its shoes. The use of Sympatex® membrane guarantees 100% protection from the wet and cold. Sympatex® is a pioneer when it comes to environmental protection. The membrane is the only one on the market that is completely recyclable, because it consists only of oxygen, carbon and hydrogen.

The Sympatex® membrane is O¨ko-Tex-Standard 100 and bluesign® certified and fulfils the strictest guide lines where environmental protection, health care policy and security are concerned.

The right protection system
Children’s shoes shouldn’t only be soft and flexible, but also protective in sensitive areas. Therefore RICHTER developed especially enforced toe caps, which offer sufficient free space and protection from injuries of the damageable children’s toes.

The right foothold
Wearing RICHTER shoes, children find firm and safe foothold due to its heel stabilising counters and adaptable closings. Furthermore Richter shoes are equipped with multiple features to fix the feet, cushioned heel insoles and anti-slip soles.

The right sole
The sole - the core of a shoe - is the foundation for a healthy development of our children and can prevent early joint damages. A firm foothold, an anti-slip tread and natural unrolling of the feet are warranted with every pair of RICHTER shoes.
