FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Glove II is designed with a classic fit. While the soft leather offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to check the specific width options available or try them on if possible.
What is Cushion+ technology?
Cushion+ is Hotter's innovative cushioning technology designed to provide energy return with every step, reducing fatigue and enhancing comfort for all-day wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather upper is treated, these are not waterproof shoes. They are best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, it is advisable to use a waterproof protector spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the Hotter sizing guide for accurate measurements. It's generally recommended to measure your foot length at the end of the day when feet tend to be slightly larger. If you are between sizes, consider your usual fit preferences (e.g., tighter or looser).
What is the heel height of the Glove II?
The heel height is approximately 2.3 cm (1 inch).
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh conditions, will help maintain its softness and prevent cracking. Always use a product suitable for the type of leather.
Can the insoles be removed for orthotics?
The product description does not specify if the insoles are removable. However, given the slip-on nature and focus on cushioning, they may be fixed. If you need to use custom orthotics, it's best to check with the retailer or try them on to see if there is sufficient space.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Leather will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thin socks around the house to break them in. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if a different size or width might be more suitable.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe lining. Try placing a small piece of powder or a dryer sheet under the insole. Ensure the insole is properly seated.
Leather scuffs or marks appear
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For more significant marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your leather type, followed by a conditioner.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The PU sole offers good grip but can be slippery on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean. If persistent, a cobbler might be able to add a rubber sole protector.
