FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense workouts?
No, the Hotter Gravity II Active Shoes are designed for everyday casual wear, walking, and light activities. They are not built for high-impact sports like running or intense gym workouts.
Can I use my own custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, these shoes feature removable insoles, making them highly compatible with most custom orthotics and arch supports. Simply remove the existing insole and insert your preferred ones.
How do I determine if the 'wide fit' is right for me?
The 'wide fit' is designed for individuals who typically find standard width shoes too restrictive or uncomfortable across the ball of the foot. If you often experience pinching or pressure in regular shoes, a wide fit could provide the extra room you need for comfort.
What is the heel height of the Gravity II shoes?
The Hotter Gravity II Active Shoes have a heel height of 30mm, offering a comfortable and subtle lift.
Are the shoes waterproof?
The Hotter Gravity II Active Shoes are made with a leather upper and textile lining. While they offer some protection against light moisture, they are not explicitly designed or marketed as waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions.
How should I clean the white leather upper?
For the white leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized white leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lace tension. Ensure you are lacing them evenly. If the wide fit is generally too loose for your foot, consider adding a thicker insole. If too tight, check that the removable insoles are correctly seated or consider if the shoe's inherent wide fit is still not enough for your foot.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure the shoe is correctly sized for your foot length and that the wide fit is appropriate. Check for any creased lining or displaced insoles. Allow for a short break-in period if new. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a foot specialist.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's footbed. Remove the insoles, apply a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch to the underside of the insole and inside the shoe, then replace the insoles. Alternatively, ensure the insoles are completely dry.
Leather upper appears dull or stained.
Clean the leather thoroughly as per the care instructions. Use a good quality leather conditioner to restore shine and moisturize the material. For stains, act quickly with appropriate leather cleaning products. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean and free from dirt, oil, or debris. The PU sole provides good traction for everyday use, but extreme wet or smooth surfaces can still be challenging. Exercise caution. If wear is significant, consider professional repair or replacement.

Care
Cleaning the Upper (Leather): Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Cleaning the Lining (Textile): For the textile lining, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used. Gently scrub, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
Cleaning the Sole (PU): Wipe the PU sole with a damp cloth to remove any grime. A soft brush can help clean crevices.
Insoles: If removed, insoles can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
