Breathable beauty

These are the most comfortable dress shoes I have ever put on. They are made with enough room to wiggle your toes and yet grip your foot comfortably so they dont slide around. I hate, hate, hate heels but these are sturdy and don't feel like they will give out under you or pinch your toes. There is extra padding under the ball of your foot so you can stand in them for more than an hour.
Despite my non-shoe non heel personality (five foot nine and size 11 shoe with plantar faciaitis) I do need nice shoes for performing in theater and special occasions.
I was seduced by the charm of the details of the vintage look and completely surprised by the workmanship and the comfort.
I wish I could afford a pair in every color. It does encourage me to try other Hotter shoes.
I've already emailed my friends to check them out.

Lovely shape, lovely 1930s elegant look - comfortable and flatering to the foot and ankle.

Finally - a shoe that fits my tootsies! I am a Legal Assistant and spend a good deal of the day on my feet. These shoes are spunky and fun, yet very comfortable. Mary Janes are classic and go with nearly every style dress or skirt. I bought the "Nougat", but now want every other color. How about offering in Navy or Red?

I brought these shoes to wear to work,I'm on my feet all day so needed something that was comfortable, there not only that they look fab as well.
Great buy....

I have had problems finding really comfortable shoes as I have back problems. I ordered the patent Valetta shoes as I wanted a pair which would be comfortable as well as stylish for my going out days. Ordered Wednesday and when I came home at lunchtime Friday, they were there. Have worn them all afternoon and they are the most comfortable shoes I have worn for some time. Have now ordered a pair for walking with.

I am a "mature" woman who LOVES to look my best at all times. Because of an autoimmune disease that limits my abililty to wear stylish shoes, particularly those with any kind of heel, I have been heretofore limited to wearing flats, even with clothing that demands a more formal shoe. No more!!! Hotter makes great shoes that are stylish and still lend themselves to my physical limitations. My only criticism is that this style in particular (my VERY favorite style so far) has a limited color selection. Please consider additional colors and types of leather! Thanks so very much!!!!

I wear with tights mostly and in the ministry and they are comfortable for standing but look nice and trendy as well.

I now own two pairs and love them. My over all style is heading more and more to a vintage 1920/1930 look which these shoes fit 100%.
Originally bought the suede which worked great for work either with a skirt or trousers. Also look stylish for evenings out. Now with the winter weather drawing in I needed a good shoe for work which would stand up to rain and light ice. I found the grip has been good and I get to my desk with dry feet and shoes without water marks.

Lovely comfortable fit, vintage style that is eye catching and feel great to wear.

OK, I have an admission to make. My black Valettas were my first Hotter shoes (about a year ago) and because I did not read up on sizing and use the foot-sizing chart that you can print out, I ordered 8.5 - should have bought 8. However, I needed shoes right away for an evening at the Philadelphia Orchestra...and there they were! Even though there's extra room there, they are the most forgiving shoe imaginable and I can't part with them. The retro style is adorable. Now, what color next? Since then I've bought Hotters in 8, all just as comfortable. I have high insteps and a "deep" dimension in my feet just behind the big toes. Most pump-style shoes cut there, but these are perfect. And what meticulous craftsmanship. Thank you!
