Owner, Hal Holmes-Pierce
I’m so excited to bring Rieker to Chester in a big way. We’ve created a space that’s warm, welcoming and packed with shoes people will genuinely love to wear. We’re also bringing some of our favourite friends with us!

Joining the Rieker collection in-store are fashionable and comfort-focused styles from Remonte, Gabor, Waldlaufer, and more – plus cheerful waterproof Rainkiss Ponchos, practical and stylish Roka Bags, and a few surprises you’ll have to see for yourself.

The new shop is designed to reflect the Elevate Your Sole ethos – inspirational, friendly, and just a little bit fun. Expect helpful advice, standout service, and a sock wall that’s already turning heads.

Whether you’re after the perfect pair for spring strolls or just want to explore something new, Rieker by Elevate Your Sole is ready to welcome Chester’s shoppers with open arms (and happy feet!).
