Hotter Maidstone Blogger Event - I Had My Hotter Moment + Giveaway.
Tuesday, July 12, 2016
When the invite for the Hotter Shoe Event for bloggers landed in my inbox I was a bit skeptically about accepting as if you had mentioned the words Hotter Shoes to me previous to this event I would have said they are shoes the are manufactured for the older generation but I couldn't be more wrong.
I accepted the invite and headed off to the event where we were greeted by the Hotter PR team and a few members of the Hotter Maidstone Team. Once all the bloggers had arrived we were offered either a glass of water, orange or bubbly along with the choice of a selection of nibbles provided by Marks and Spencer.
Once we were all feed and watered there was a short presentation on Hotter's history to give us an insight into the company as none of us had heard much about the company before or been in one of their stores. In 1959 Hotter Shoes were founded and originally started out making slippers, lets face it who doesn't love a nice comfy pair of slippers. After great success with slippers they decided to branch out into making shoes that would be just as comfy as slippers.
In February 2010 there were 5 hotter stores, today there is 76. They make a pair of shoes every 20 seconds making them the UK's biggest shoe manufacturer. Hotter offer a range of shoe sizes ranging from 3-9 including half sizes and all shoes come with a 90 day guarantee so if the shoes make your feet sore or you are simply unhappy with the shoes you can simply pop back into store and they will offer you an exchange or full refund.
Hotter's call center is located right next door to the Lancashire factory and the opening hours are between 8am and 4pm. There are trained personal shoppers on hand to answer any of your queries and questions no matter how silly you think the question is.
Hotter's believe that finding the right shoe is like finding the right pair of jeans, not every pair will work on every foot. To keep up to date with other high street stores they use the same trend forecasting to ensure that their shoes are not only stylish but also in season.
Hotter very kindly gifted every blogger with a pair of shoes for attending the event. The choice was ours and after spending a good half an hour wandering round and round the shop and trying on about five pairs of shoes I finally decided on the Cloud Shoe, which really do feel like you are walking on clouds. They have a memory foam insert and are super comfy. I choose these ones as Glen and I are heading to the Isle of White in August and I thought they would be perfect for all the walking we will be doing. I have already worn them out and about and they are fast becoming my favourite #shoesies to just throw on when running errands or going out for the day to give my outfit #stylewithasmile.
Once we had all picked our shoes we sat and discussed our thoughts on the shoes we had chosen and a hand full of us including me were interviewed for the Hotter Youtube Channel.
