FAQs
Are the Hotter Xavier shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Xavier shoes are designed with a standard fitting. While the elasticated inserts offer some flexibility, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet. Trying them on is recommended to assess the fit.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are designed to be removable, allowing you to easily insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for added support or comfort.
How do I clean the leather exterior?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt or to maintain the leather's condition, apply a specialist leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The heel height for the Hotter Xavier shoes is 33mm.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product information does not specify waterproof capabilities. Leather can be treated for water resistance, but they are not designed as waterproof footwear.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of lightweight EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), which provides cushioning and reduces weight.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is recommended to help maintain their shape over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch and conform to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure the elasticated inserts are not obstructed. Gently stretch the opening if needed. If the issue persists after break-in, they may be too narrow for your foot.
Scuff marks on leather
Use a leather cleaner appropriate for the color and finish of the shoe. For deeper scuffs, a matching color shoe polish may be required.
Slight odor development
Ensure the shoes are properly aired out between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
