Review: Hotter shoes

Initial thoughts: When I was contacted and asked if I would like to review a pair of Hotter shoes I was a bit dubious that I would find something that I would like. They have a store in Eastbourne where I regularly shop and it is always choc full of shall we say a more elderly clientele. However I had a look at their website and found a trainer style that had good reviews. I had been looking for something comfortable to wear when out walking with the buggy and the Leanne Shoes seemed to fit the bill.

I liked: These shoes are so very comfortable. They are the first pair of trainers or shoes that I can ever remember wearing for the first time that didn't irritate me in some way. The soles are cushioned and comfortable and the trainers are light and easy to wear.

I didn't like: The only thing that I found strange is that they make my feet look a bit bigger than normal! However they have lots of room for me to wiggle my toes so it is totally worth it.

Overall: I am always nervous about ordering shoes online as I usually try on a number of pairs before picking the ones I want. Hotter have a 100% happy guarantee and hassle free returns policy so that seems great. Although these are by no means the most fashionable shoes I own they are perfect for walking and playing in the park and I don't mind if they get scruffy and dirty. At £55 they are a bit more expensive than I would have spent in the past but as they are so comfortable I definitely think they are worth it. I am going back to work in a couple of months and I am already eyeing up a couple of pairs that would be perfect, including a black patent pair of heels that look great.

Further information: Check out the Hotter Shoes website - they have a £5 off and free shipping offer at the moment.
