Each season we produce a unique fusion of Hotter comfort shoes and GORE-TEX® product technology resulting in comfortable, durable and stylish British made shoes that are loved the world over. This collaboration has been working in harmony for 11 years!
The History
GORE-TEX® was co-invented by Wilbert L Gore and his son Robert Gore in 1969.
Wilbert had always believed in the untapped potential of the polymer polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE and when his son Robert stretched PTFE under certain conditions, he unleashed an amazing list of characteristics that we associate with the fabric today.
Since then the GORE-TEX® membrane has been used by astronauts, expedition leaders and athletes around the globe and has become the go-to brand for breathable, waterproof and windproof products.
The Collaboration
Since 2005 we have been collaborating with the GORE-TEX® brand to produce a range of boots and shoes that are designed to keep your feet dry whatever the weather. The GORE-TEX® membrane in each pair of shoes is designed to offer enduring weather protection. Water stays on the outside while perspiration can easily escape from the inside therefore come rain or shine, your feet will be protected. Hotter are the only UK manufacturer to own a GORE-TEX® brand license meaning you will get all the benefits of GORE-TEX® product technology with British made expertise guaranteed.

I absolutely adore the picture of The Marlowe GTX(R)
I have the excellent Orla boot and the Goretex shoe.
There is one snag for older people, the heel. Getting on and off
pavements is a hazard with impaired vision.
I will live in hope that your designers will make an adjustment.
