Hotter Hugo - Black - UK 9.5

Yes, the Hotter Hugo shoes feature removable insoles, allowing you to customize your comfort with personal orthotics or alternative inserts.

For best results, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, followed by a black shoe polish to maintain their luster.

The Hotter Hugo Black Shoes have a heel height of 33mm, or 1 1/2 inches.

This specific variant of the Hotter Hugo is listed with a 'Standard Fitting'. If you typically require a wider fit, please check for other 'Wide Fit' variants of the Hugo model or consider trying them on to ensure comfort.

Absolutely! The Hotter Hugo is engineered for all-day comfort, featuring a padded collar and tongue, and a lightweight, flexible EVA sole to reduce foot fatigue.

The sole is made from lightweight and flexible EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), providing excellent cushioning and comfort.

While the leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or treating them with a suitable leather protector for enhanced water resistance.

Ensure you have the correct size. The 'Standard Fitting' may not suit all foot types. If insoles are removable, try replacing them with a thinner pair or allowing a short break-in period, as leather can adapt slightly.

Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a suitable leather conditioner and black shoe polish. Buff gently with a clean cloth to restore shine and minimize the appearance of scuffs.

Remove the insoles and air them out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then vacuum it out. Ensure your socks are breathable, and consider rotating between pairs of shoes.

The EVA sole provides good grip in most conditions. If you experience unusual slipperiness, check the sole for any debris or excessive wear. For consistent issues, consult a cobbler for potential sole enhancements.

Since the insoles are removable, you can easily replace them with a new pair from Hotter or opt for aftermarket orthotics that provide your desired level of comfort and arch support.
