“When I took A pair of Hotter shoes that I purchased last year and only wore a couple times out of storage for winter use I found after wearing it for a short while the sole started to disintergrate. I have never had this with a pair of shoes before and even though I love Hotter shoes I wont be wasting my money on them again!”

“Humiliation as brand new boots soles disintegrated on board room carpet! Bought last year in sales and stored. When contacting customer services they used fob off and blocking tactics to get rid of me. Loyal Hotter customer BUT NEVER AGAIN!!!!!”

“I have been a Hotter customer for over 20 years. Having quite slim narrow feet, I am finding their shoes now are no longer suitable for me - usually far too wide. Their returns policy has also changed in recent months. Not so easy to return if you can't get on with the shoes - so read the small print before you buy and make sure, if you choose to 'persevere' with them a while, they remain as new, or this could affect the chances of a refund. (I don't recall attention having been drawn to this change by Hotter.) Understand company has changed ownership though. Certainly not so client friendly. I won't be remaining a customer - it's time for a change.”

“The quality of Hotter shoes are amazing. The one star is for the click and collect locations. I am not able to get to my nearest Hotter store as it’s almost 20 miles away. There are parcel shops less than three miles away but Hotter so not deliver there. Sadly, this winter I will not be able to have a pair of Hotter boots. I have reasons for not wanting to take delivery at home or with neighbours. Please Hotter consider widening your click and collect locations. I now have to find a different brand of shoes and boots.”

“I ordered a pair of boots and the site was recommended by a friend. Sadly I did not notice a huge defect inside in the heal in time and I sent pictures to hotter only to be told I had to send back at my own expense for sharp metal in the heal, and maybe I would get something. They are clearly defective, and they should stand by it. I cut out the metal myself and will not be buying any more from them.”

“I had been a loyal hotter shoe customer for years. But my last purchase was terrible. The sole of the shoe was so thin I could feel the pavement as I walked. Didn’t really help when I returned in the shop . Saying I should have tried walking on them 1 st . Will be using another make . I did notice on their website customers can no longer leave a reviews ? I wonder why ??”

“I am disappointed with my latest purchase of ‘leap ‘ women’s shoes. My old pair had a very good flexible sole which extended to protect the heel. The new version is like a black board with a different surface grip . The rounded toes also appear to have been discontinued in the all leather version and no longer available in navy, I shall not be buying in future unless I see a return to the earlier quality.”

“I have been buying Hotter shoes for many years; however, the quality of the shoe has been declining steadily. Now, I rarely order.”

“I purchased several pairs at the same time. The soles on one pair disintegrated after being stored- it is apparently a well known fact that this happens. I contacted Hotter and after several e-mails they arranged for a prepaid carriage label and I returned them for examination. I also forwarded photographic evidence. After a month I again complained and was offered an alternative pair of shoes. I judge a company by the quality of their customer relations department. The response was slow but resulted in a satisfied customer who will continue to enjoy the comfort of their UK manufactured shoes. So well done to all the staff who provided a happy ending !”

“Absolutely appalling! I ordered a pair of walking sandals for £50, spending a bit more money to get a pair I could walk in all day. I wore them for one day, they hurt the arch of my foot so much it hurt for 3 days after! I tried to return them and was informed that because I had worn them they would not exchange or give me my money back; although how I was supposed to know that they would not support my foot properly before wearing them I don't know. Also, returning the shoes was difficult, I had to wait in for a courier all day because they use Hermes. V. bad customer service, £50 wasted! I will not be using this shop again, they have lost my business over their returns policy.”

“Robbers!! First order was fine and persuaded me to order another design for my wife.New order was based on my wife's requirement for extra extra wide fit.Shoes that arrived were fine but the straps too short for extra extra wide fit so no good..Item returned Hotter suggesting that Return postage would be subtracted from refund i.e. around £2.50 in fact we paid or lost £9. What a cowboy outfit, beware!!!”

“Have purchased Hotter shoes for many years and had good wear and life / usage out of the shoes. On my more recent purchase of “Thor Olive GTX shoes” the soles developed fine cracks within a couple of months on the areas that flexed while walking and the cracks have continued to “grow” with occasional wear and are now letting in water. Purchased from online store / site they delivered quickly (with other shoes ordered) and are comfortable however they are useless after a few months wear except on a dry day ! I contacted Hotter customer service about my concerns and they indicated send back (at own expense) they would test and make a decision ...... No confidence in the proposed action or the tone of the reply giving me the feeling of being fobbed off with just additional annoyance of a postal bill to return the shoes to add to my frustration. Hotter shoes are now an expensive brand and expect quality to match, I paid for the Thor “gortex” shoes with aim of get better waterproof qualities and decent wear qualities and they are now useless in the wet with the sole failing in such a short time. Sadly despite being a customer for many years My confidence in quality and customer care is now lacking, especially after the customer services response to my issue.”

“Hottershoes are usually good value for money BUT if a fault occurs do not expect getting any help or advice from Hotter. I spent over £174 on their shoes. One pair developed a fault which meant I couldn’t wear them I contacted Hotter but they did nothing to help so in other words my money was wasted.”

“Bought the red sandals, I love them and wear them everywhere as they are not only very comfy but stylish, go well with jeans, dresses, pencil skirts. Very 1940s, thank you Hotter - please do them next year, I want the silver ones in 5, but you are sold out this year.”

“I was advised by the shop I needed wide fit - rubbish. These were the Flare sandals so not cheap. After I have worn them for a few times they have now stretched and my feet swim in them and are very uncomfortable all for the sake of being advised WRONGLY now have a fairly new pair of sandals that are NO GOOD. I do not intend to buy another pair. I gave bought three pair of boots and another pair of shoes this year but customer services with regard to this situation is dreadful, shocking I always buy Hotter but this has really put me off. Really unhappy 😠😠😠”
