“Women deserve footwear choice, and whether the shoes are for work or for play they should be confident that their footwear feels great and fits perfectly,” said Hotter CEO Sara Prowse. “Our latest collection includes on-trend man tailored boots, loafers and brogues; athleisure inspired lace-ups and our Hotter Originals, which have been hand selected by our founder.
“We’ve also created a selection of shoes for work and going out with hidden Comfort Concept® features, such as cushioning, space for toes to wiggle and flexible soles so women can enjoy their day without having to worrying about sore or aching feet.”
