Hotter shoe company award

One scarcely worn smartish pair of Hotter sandals off to the charity shop, after an afternoon spent wearing them with socks and sprayed with leather stretcher. Still uncomfortable, I think the leather stretcher may have stretched my feet not the sandals. [grumpy]

I have had the soles of Ecco shoes disintegrate more than once so I never buy Ecco any more. They are not as well made as they used to be. I have has Ecco that lasted years.
Hotter has never let me down, they are well made and durable.
My cobbler told me that many manufacturers are now using cheaper materials and do not make shoes to last any more. Including Clarks!
