Hotter Shoes : Stylish Shoes with Comfort Built In
Hotter shoes has been manufacturing quality, comfortable footwear in Lancashire, England since 1959. The company started out producing slippers, then shifted gears in the 1990s and began making what they call “stylish shoes with comfort built in.” It’s no surprise that we at the Barking Dog soon became fans (see all of our Hotter reviews here).
Most Hotter shoes come in multiple widths, feature excellent cushioning, and are made with quality materials to ensure superb comfort. A wide range of styles means you can find comfortable, attractive shoes for any occasion, even if you have hard-to-fit feet. In the company’s words, “Our design and technical teams work hard to create a whole range of beautiful shoes…We use premium materials so that every time you sink your feet into their cushioned softness, they feel both comfortable and protected.” Over the years Hotter shoes has become the biggest shoe manufacturer in the UK. The company is proud of its high commitment to quality control and desires to deliver the very best to its customers.

Who is behind BarkingDogShoes.com?
I just found Hotter shoes last year but have bought several pairs since then. I have worn a pair similar to those you reviewed and you are right! They make dress shoes with comfort built in. The oxford and boot styles are great for everyday wear. I love them!
How are these shoes for plantar fasciitis?
I have MANY pairs of Hotter shoes. I have wide feet and a high instep and plantar fasciitis. They are comfortable and supportive and when they say WIDE, they mean it! Hotter has many styles but one niche that is fairly unique to them at their price point is what I would call “delicate comfort dress shoes. As in…could I wear these shoes with a fancy dress? Or at a wedding?? Hotter is a great option if you’re not on a Taryn Rose budget.
I have tried them. I like the various flats with the rubber soles, unfortunately they are all too wide for my marginally narrow feet. Last year they they brought out a few slim fit styles, and I bought a pair of sporty ballet flats which were just perfect. I’m disappointed to see that this fall they only have that one style and one other in the narrower fit.
I agree! I couldn’t really promote their slim fit in this post because they only have one shoe in that width.
Seconding the question about plantar fasciitis. How are they in the arch support dept? I can’t get a sense based on the picture they have on their website. They look beautiful, though!
Here’s my experience as I’ve had two pair in the past. Both offer great cushioning and shock-absorption. The toe box roomy and heel doesn’t slip. Arch support is not enhanced like a Vionic, Birkenstock or Dansko. It’s minimal to moderate. However, many styles have removable footbeds so you can use your own insole (just read descriptions).
This is really helpful, thanks for your response! (And, as always, LOVE the blog!)
The best shoes which suits for the dress. Purchased 1 pair based on the suggestion.
How about shoes for small feet? I wear a 4.5 wide and I’d love to find some mid heel (2 inch) dress pumps.
CHeck out Vaneli shoes – some stylish heels available in smaller sizes and multiple widths…
How thin (or thick) are the soles? My metatarsals need protection.
Hotter shoes are great …I have a few pairs but many have seen better days…I have big wide feet and they work well for me…in fact I wear them right out!!
