‘Secret ingredients that make comfortable shoes‘, a ‘Comfort Concept‘, that got my attention in an invitation from ‘Hotter‘ to the launch of the new Summer collection at their Glasgow store. Next to food, which is normally what you’ll find me writing about, I’m quite partial to shoes. Not any old shoes you understand, usually flattish, comfortable, stylish shoes, the kind you don’t really want to take off. And believe me after many years of buying flat shoes, I feel well qualified to tell you that flat doesn’t always mean comfort, and blending comfort and style can sometimes be tricky. Not so at Hotter, they’ve been making stylish, comfy shoes for over five decades and their shoes have a ‘little secret’, ‘The Comfort Concept’
At Hotter Shoes, the ‘Comfort Concept’ is not just a marketing slogan, it’s a blend of secret ingredients, injected into every pair of shoes, that creates the perfect Hotter fit. Flex grooves in the sole allow for flexibility, pyramid technology for heavenly comfort on the ball of the foot, and supersoft all round padding is what you’ll find in a Hotter shoe, along with ‘wiggle’ room for toes

- Super Soft
- Lightweight
- Cushioning
- Flexible
- Breathable
- Fittings to Suit You
And then, the promise of the ‘Hotter Moment‘, the pleasure you feel when you slip into a pair of Hotter shoes. Yes, that really does happen and it’s not the least bit embarrassing!
Another passion at Hotter Shoes is to create beautiful shoes, footwear that’s fashionable, versatile and feminine with lots of detail. I was certainly impressed by the kaleidoscope of colours and prints across the collections, and with a wide range of styles, it meant there was a shoe for every occasion. Although I didn’t chose the prettiest pair of shoes in new colourful summer range, my choice, a pair of ‘Scarlett’ sandals, was perfect for my feet and my up an coming holiday to USA.
My ‘Scarlett’ sandals, described as anatomically designed to fit.
I chose the Violet Nubuck but Scarlett also comes in ‘Dark Aqua, Khaki and Black and in two fittings, standard and extra wide.
Fast forward a few weeks and me and my sandals were on a road test in Georgia and in particular the North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains. Did my ‘Hotter Moment‘ continue? Let’s face it, uncomfortable shoes can be a nightmare but on holidays there’s no time for aching feet.
C’mon boy, these sandals were made for walking
The answer is an overwhelming yes. These super comfortable, action woman sandals went fishing, dog walking, played ‘horseshoe’, lay on the deck, shopped and generally strolled around North Georgia.
Ready for action, even when resting
Back home in Scotland my ‘Scarletts’ have been a little less active but we’re still marching around the countryside on dogs walks and taking everyday life in our stride. Definitely at the top of my top comfy shoe list. The Summer has a bit to go yet and I’m sure my sandals will see some more action in the weeks to come.
Hotter also gave me this beautiful luxurious Umbrella and I’m sure it will see plenty of action with the Scottish weather.
The beautiful ‘Coniston’ umbrella is available in three colours
Thanks to Hotter for providing the pair of Scarlett sandals for road testing. Check out the Hotter website to see the videos from the launch of the Summer collection at their Glasgow Store, with a few words from me on my Sandals.
One last word…..thanks to Jess the dog for being my partner on the ‘Hotter’ road test.
