I tried to love my Hotter shoes. I treated myself to two pairs in different colors. I got a great deal buy 1 get 1 free! These shoes are cute and comfortable and are espadrilles just right for warm weather and to wear to the office to compliment the color of my clothing that day. Twice I have stumbled with the carpet at work when the front part of my shoe gets caught in the carpet and today I actually fell down and landed on my left knee. I'm not wearing these to work anymore. I am 65 years old and could have been hurt worse than a scrapped knee. caution to those who order your espadrille shoes!!!!!!!!!
