Welcome to The Family

Welcome to Cynthia Richard, where luxury meets timeless design. Founded by Rick Gelber, a seasoned footwear expert, his wife Cynthia, and their three daughters. The brand is all about family, fashion, and how it relates to confidence.

Rick Gelber, former Senior Vice President and Creative Director at Caleres, brings 35 years of experience with brands like Carlos Santana and Fergie Footwear to Cynthia Richard. His goal? To create shoes that truly reflect your personality.

"Women need shoes that suit the moment. Cynthia Richard shoes are the go-to choice," Rick says. "They should feel like a unique extension of yourself."

With decades of combined experience, Rick and Cindy's daughters have styled celebrities in New York and Los Angeles, worked with luxury brands like Prada and Temperly, and launched a line at LA Fashion Week. Their expertise brings a fresh edge to the brand.

Crafted in Italy and Brazil, Cynthia Richard footwear combines timeless design with modern flair, offering casual elegance that stands the test of time. We're especially passionate about our luxury sneakers, crafted with high-quality fabrics to bring a sophisticated touch to any outfit.

At Cynthia Richard, family and confidence are our top priorities. Our brand reflects Rick and Cindy’s love and our belief that style should be effortless.

As Rick says, “The things you are passionate about are not random. They are your calling. And rules are meant to be broken. You don't have to settle for the status quo. First, demand more. Second, go out and get it.”
