Product Information
Full details
The Hotter Avebury Ankle Boots are designed for the modern adult female seeking a blend of style and comfort. The key benefit is their discreet hidden wedge, offering a touch of height without compromising on wearability, alongside elegant suede uppers and convenient dual metal zips for easy wear. A potential caveat for some users might be the 'EXF' fitting, which typically denotes an extra fitting or width, and may not be suitable for those with narrow feet.

FAQs
What does 'EXF' fitting mean?
'EXF' typically stands for Extra Fitting, indicating that the boot is designed with more width and volume to accommodate a wider foot shape, providing enhanced comfort.
Can I wear these boots in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some grip, suede is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by excessive moisture. It is recommended to treat the boots with a protective spray and avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I clean mud from the suede?
Allow the mud to dry completely. Once dry, gently brush it off using a suede brush. For more persistent marks, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions and testing on a hidden area first.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 33mm, which is equivalent to approximately 1 1/2 inches.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the 'EXF' fitting indicates they are designed for a wider fit, offering more room than a standard fitting boot.
How do I maintain the suede's appearance?
Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to keep the nap lifted. Apply a suede protector spray to guard against stains and water. Store them properly when not in use.
Can the dual zips be replaced if they break?
If a zipper breaks, it may be possible to have it repaired or replaced by a professional shoe repair service. It is best to consult with a local cobbler for repair options.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight/wide.
The 'EXF' fitting is designed for extra room. If they feel too wide, consider using thicker socks or an insole. If they feel too tight in length, ensure you have selected the correct size. If the width is unsuitable, this specific fitting may not be the best choice.
Zippers are stiff.
Gently work the zippers up and down a few times. A small amount of graphite from a pencil can be rubbed along the zipper teeth to help them glide more smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Suede appears dull or stained.
Allow any moisture to dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stubborn stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels slippery.
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. New boots may have a smooth sole that gains traction with wear. If excessive slipperiness persists, consider adding traction pads to the sole.
