“I have returned a pair of shoes over a month ago and I am still waiting for a refund. Tried to contact Hotter several times both by email and phone. All emails were ignored and no one ever picks up the phone! Your customer service is appalling and I will not be ordering any shoes from Hotter any more.”

“Rubbish sandals (4 years old) and only worn 4/5 times. Worn one pair 2 weeks ago to a charity event during which the soles disintegrated and By the time I go home there was nothing left of the sole. Checked my other pair of sandals and these had gone the same way and I was able to pull chunks of the sole off as it had perished. All previous purchases of Hotter shoes were good. Took these shoe back to the shop and was told by the Manager that if you don't wear them much they will perish!! I had not worn these sandals much because of Covid19 restrictions and then only in the summer - who wears sandals in winter? Utter rubbish - what about people who own lots of shoes, or storage of shoes in shops and warehouses? So the manager took the shoes and threw them in the bin! I was furious at his attitude and e-mailed Hotter 10 days ago and was promised a reply within 24 hours - so far nothing. Dreadful business attitude in all respects.”

“I would not really give Hotter even one star. I ordered four pairs of shoes in May 2022. Two sets of return labels would not print out, which are essential for returning three pairs, such heavy items through the mail from the U.S. to the UK. It is now almost July and although the company has acknowledged receipt of the shoes, they have not refunded my money. I am out hundreds of dollars. The company will not respond to my queries, nor do they answer their US number. The quality of the product is not even all that great. If it is permissible to write this, I see this as nothing other than theft. I will continue to pursue Hotter. Please do share my email address. I have written confirmation from them that I have placed the relevant orders. I warn others. Do not consider making a purchase unless you wish to give your money away.”

“The quality is so poor. I've been a customer for years. Sent sandals back last week. Now another pair going back. Photo shows the difference in size and quality. So disappointed the one on right Maddy perfect. The left one Sol flimsy much narrower awful.”

“I have been wearing Hotter shoes for over 30 years and until recently haven't needed any . The last purchase was 2 or 3 years ago. What on earth has gone wrong !,! I bought a pair of Shoes online and they are not anywhere near the hotter I knew and loved . Very inferior leather, inner soles dreadful and the laces were very inferior too. I am really sad as I can no longer buy from them. I have returned the shoes today and hopefully will get a refund !!!”

“The metal loop on my shoes broke. I sent the pieces to Hotter for comment . thinking that the metal component should be made stronger / thicker . Their reply , among other things , suggested that I should refer the matter to the shop I bought them from . They did not tell me what the charge would be to supply replacement metal loop , or offer any other helpful advice how to solve the problem ! I can see their shoes are not durable nor do they offer a helpful after sales service . I asked for the broken part to be sent back to me . They undertook to do this but have failed to do so ! Most disappointing !”

“Although the sandals were wide, the bit in the middle between the 2 straps on the sides of my feet was hard and hurt so I returned them. The postage paid for delivery (£3.95) was not refunded and it cost an additional £2.50 to return the sandals. So trying on and returning uncomfortable sandals cost £6.45...I won't buy from them again. I'll get Pavers or Teva.”

“I have bought two pairs from Hotter and returned one as it was too hard and too lose. I have returned only a partial refund for the returned pair. Hotter can not count?! I have contacted the customer service where a bored, uninterested male said there is nothing he can do about it. Hotter still owns me 17.25 GBP. Luckily I have paid with Paypal, so will file a claim with them. I will never buy from this company ever again.”

“Brochure showed the shoes I wanted had been reduced by £20 pounds and had an insert giving another 20% off with a code. As the shoes are comfortable but usually extortionately expensive, I rang to place an order only to be told the code didn’t apply as it had already been taken off! Not the first time I have had issues with Hotter due to misleading offers. It has been a while since I bought anything from them because of this, but I see they haven’t changed their questionable advertising methods.”

“!!!I LOVE HOTTER SHOES!!! I have purchased over a dozen pair since finding out about them in 2018, not just for myself, but for my husband and mother. Sometimes the wait time has been longer, BUT it's always worth the wait. Thank you for making such wonderfully made, good quality shoes that fit so much better than American brands and every pair I purchased is worth every penny I spent, thanks again!”

“Absolute rubbish. Take a look at the photos below and make your own mind up. Terrible customer service. Won't accept any responsibility for shoes that are not fit for purpose. I was told that the shoes that i had purchased as a brand new pair were actually old shoes and Deborah the lady from hotter who I spoke with could not remember if it was 10 or 12 years since they made that style of shoe and that the reason they had crumbled away on the first day of wear around the house was because they were old? How am I supposed to know that the brand new shiny pair of shoes I purchased were new/old shoes? ABSOLUTE JOKE STEER WELL CLEAR.”

“I always said I would never buy shoes on line. I had, a while ago, bought a pair of Hotter shoes in their Brighton store (so sad it is now closed) which were amazingly comfortable, so I decided to take the risk but was ready, pen poised, to fill in the returns form! I need not have worried as the new shoes - a totally different style, but the same size and width, are every bit as comfortable. Made in England is a bonus, as was the sale price. Thank you Hotter.”

“Like the sandles but wish there was more colours, I like the Sol range and have built up quite a few of these sandles over the years, but wish they would do more vibrant colours like lilac, lemon, lime green and light blue”

“It’s not so much bad service as looking through the brochure there is such a limited choice compared to a few years ago. I used to be able to look at your catalogue and see at least two or three styles I liked, but now there is nothing at all that attracts me. So I will obviously no longer be purchasing Hotter shoes.”

“Took over a month to get the shoes and they quit accepting my emails to try and get info. I will never order from them again.”

“Have bought many pairs of Hotter shoes over the years. Now found one smart pair, hardly worn, falling apart and soles split. This seems to be happening with other expensive makes of shoes. Surely, if this has become a common problem, why go on manufacturing them using the same type materoal for the soles.”

“I recently ordered a pair of slippers online from Hotter. I paid £3.95 for the postage. The slippers were not a good fit and I returned them. Initial payment £52.95. Refund £46.50. So it cost me £6.45 for the experience! Added to that they take an inordinately long time to process a refund compared to other retailers! So the rule is only shop in actual shops. If you are an online shopper you will be penalised in every way! If the shop order on your behalf there is no charge for postage. I shall no longer use this retailer.”

“Terrible customer service. Not willing to take any responsibility for a fault with their product or even investigate, just straight away said no to a refund or exchange and putting the blame on the customer. Would avoid this company if you’re thinking of using them.”
