Safari and flashing effects underscore the rustic note of the racy shoes “on four wheels”. Chinos and turn-up jeans match the “cuddly” boots made of extra soft Lavato leather with wide Velcro fastenings. The light profile soles not only have a truly fashionable look, but also ensure a firm footing on every terrain. Material mix is the motto for sneakers & co: Perforated leather, mesh, nappa and vintage prints are mixed to full effect and Tex fittings in addition ensure the best foot climate. Maritime influences can be seen in puritanical lace-up boots in soft velours leather in muted, natural colour combinations. Light soles emphasise the fresh, modern statement. New colour and leather variants make the multi award-winning first hiking show for children, the RICOSTA “Mountain” once again a must-have for outdoor lovers. The much-loved “mountain climber” is now also a hot favourite in the city as a casual shoe. Nothing goes without trekking sandals on hot days, which are available as open or closed-toe variants. In addition, RICOSTA proves its innovative power with a new type of slotted profile sole. They guarantee greatest flexibility in the ball area and greatest stability on the heel. High quality, printed microfibre footbeds ensure walking comfort every step of the way.


Bears and berries – the PEPINO collection for small girls has both. The highlight is the infant shoe made of soft goat velours which captivates with a large bear appliqué. Soft is also the motto for sneakers and sandals which have a lively surface thanks to hand colour washed leather. With discreet appliqués such as punched out leather blossoms, ribbons or hearts in the trendy dotted design PEPINO proves that being modern and playful are not opposites. Contrasting decorative seams, openings and interesting material combinations such as lacquer/velours or leather/mesh make sandals, strap models and casual shoes stylish eye catchers exuding sporty dynamism. And for good reason: “Our shoes address a new generation of mothers”, explains Kai Moewes, the RICOSTA/PEPINO sales manager. “They grew up with sporty shoes. This sneaker generation is looking for the equivalent for their children. This means modern, contemporary shoes without too much fuss.” But colours are allowed to explode in the coming summer: Hot pink and fruity berry colours are the favourites in the new PEPINO collection next to earth tones and the wide range of blue nuances.


PEPINO – Sailors and Flower Girls PEPINO makes life fun! Happy colours and cheeky cuts put one in the mood for a carefree summer. The new collection leaves no desires unfulfilled in terms of fashion and function. Small boys can look forward to buttery-soft casual shoes of ecologically tanned Terracare® leather with flexible natural rubber soles. The use of smooth nubuck as well as light-coloured laces and soles emphasise the Mediterranean simplicity of the new models. Maritime flair splashes out with colour blocking and discreet appliqués such as stars, flags or cord motifs. Trekking types and closed-toe "mini sandals” with “window soles” and high-tech elements are sporty and casual. Reflective appliqués guarantee the highest safety.
