I recently attended a blogger night at Hotter Shoes in Cardiff. Not only was it wonderful for once to not have to travel to London for an event but it was a truly lovely evening meeting up with my fellow Welsh bloggers.
First up we listened to Melanie Killilea give a talk about how Hotter began and how they have grown over the past 15 years. I’ll be honest and tell you I had it in my mind that Hotter was a bit of an older woman’s brand and that I wouldn’t be too keen on the shoes but I was wrong. And happy to admit to it.
Yes some of the shoes are all about comfort rather than cool but their range is so popular year after year that why would they end that? They have shoes which are just comfy shoes and then they have shoes which are comfy shoes but also ( in my eyes) really lovely and pretty funky shoes.
We were invited to choose a pair for ourselves and I really struggled between the skater type shoes, the gorgeous brown pumps ..and the blue/brown deck shoes. The only reason I opted for the pumps in the end is because I have so many types of deck and skater shoes that I wanted something different. I’m glad I did as they go with everything, they look pretty and feel so much comfier than any shoe of this type that I own.

lovely handbag love looking through your shoes love the plimsoles
If I was asked this as a teenager and before becoming a mum I would have said STYLE every time….but now I have four kids and and a dog to walk, I opt for COMFORT first! But still like them to look good!
Love style but has to be comfortable.
Comfort these days but is great to get shoes that have both.
comfort is my top priority 🙂
Im on my feet all day at work so I opt for maximum comfort – style is great but not if it means ripping your feet to shreds ! You can’t beat a bit of comfort – and who says comfort has to mean ugly – there are some great comfy shoes !
This is a hard one as style is important . These days, however, I choose comfort butthey still have to be stylish
Comfort, comfort, comfort!
Comfort, only style wehen I’m going out!
Comfort first
I want both!
Before i had children it was style now comfort 🙂
Comfort every time! Can’t cope with uncomfortable footwear.

I try and go for a bit of both.
Always comfort. I hate sore feet and no shoes are worth it.
Both – my daytime shoes are comfortable but I have a couple of pairs of high heels for nights out.
Comfort every time for me x

Comfort as I do lots of walking but I love them to look good too

I choose a bit of both as it depends on what I am buying footwear for
Comfort! I have never been one for giant heels

I used to be torn between the two, but now you can get comfy shoes that look great too. x
It used to be style but I err on the side of comfort these days

Definately comfort now – I can’t believe some of the shoes that I used to wear in the past! 🙂
Definitely comfort. I’m only 5′ tall & would have loved to be able to wear heels for some, much needed, extra height, but they are just to uncomfortable.
yes please good shoes
now ive got older and wiser definately comfort
The older I get the more I go for comfort
I always choose comfort.
Increasingly I’m tending towards comfort every time! My sketchers to walk shoes are a dream to walk in!
