Lifestyle fashion of adults – with appropriate interpretation for children. The whole collection aims with reference to adult lifestyle fashion, which is expressed by grown up shoe types. „Kids this nowadays know exactly what they want, they know the fashion trends by heart. Particularly older children (> size 35) want to be stylish and trendy. Kids increasingly want to wear the same fashion as their parents and/or older siblings“ says Alf Netek, CEO of Richter. Still, children should remain fashionably children, therefore Richter puts a lot of playful accents on their shoes, such as colourful interlaces, romantic applications, sporty prints and lots of colourful stitching.

Sneaker-Mania, trendy long shaftboots and lace-up boots form a major part of Richter’s Collection Sneakers are a non-controversial leading part of the collection: Boys can choose out of a wide range of cool shoes with bright colour accents which assemble ‘lust for life’ and ‘creativity’. The basket boots are a real must-have! Sneakers for girls are multi-faced with various styles. The inspiration reaches from glitter stars and romantic accents to fancy studs and high fashion leathers. Many of our sneakers have a zipper on the inside, for an easy fitting.
