Hotter Shoes Blog Event

 Hey,

I was invited to attend a blogger event at Hotter Shoes in Oxford on a nice Wednesday evening. I decided to go along and see what all the fuss was about. Turns out, they are super comfy shoes!

I was unsure of what to expect as my impression of them was that they were targeted at the older generation, however, as soon as I walked in the shop I could see that my impression was wrong and terribly outdated. They had such a range of shoes that I think anyone could go in and find a pair that they liked. 

I was originally drawn to the floral Mabel Shoes and slip on Tara Shoes at the front of the store, but after looking around I saw a pair of heels which looked really lovely. One of the other bloggers, Abi, had been trying them on in suede lavender so I thought I should have a try of the dark aqua suede version Donna Heels. They have them available in other colours and some are suede and some are leather so have a little looky. I tried the Donna Heels on and walked around, they were so comfortable,but I rarely wear heels so thought that I would keep on looking, that was when I saw another blogger pick up the Pixie Boots. I went straight on over to try them on in deep teal and they were my favourite shoes of the evening so I kept them on for a while just to be sure. I was then pleasantly surprised when I was given them for free. I have worn them a lot already and although we are heading into spring and soon it should be too warm for boots I have still managed to get a decent amount of wear out of them and I know I will look forward to next autumn/winter when I can wear them even more. 

The lovely ladies in the store even sprayed them with a water-proof and stain-proof spray so they should last longer. 

I haven't even mentioned the food and drink!!! Wowzers, I couldn't believe what a lovely spread they put on for us. As we walked in we were offered a Prosecco, orange juice or water (I stuck to orange juice as I was driving and am still breast feeding my baby) then to the left of us there was the table laid out with a beautiful spread of really scrummy food. There was loads left over at the end so some of us took some with us but me and Rach (aka The Inelegant Wench) gave ours to some homeless people as we thought they would be more appreciative of it.

All in all I had a fantastic evening with some yummy food and drink and even a free pair of what are probably my most comfortable shoes I own. I would like to say a massive thank you to Hotter Shoes, Oxford for letting me be part of such a lovely event.
