FAQs
What type of activities is the Hotter Daphne best suited for?
The Hotter Daphne is ideal for everyday wear, including running errands, commuting, casual outings, and situations where extended standing or walking is required, thanks to its Cushion+ technology.
How do I adjust the fit of the Daphne shoe?
The Daphne features an adjustable touch-close fastening strap. Simply open the strap and re-fasten it to your desired level of snugness.
Is the nubuck material difficult to care for?
Nubuck requires specific care. Regular brushing with a nubuck brush is recommended. Avoid excessive water and use specialized cleaning products for stains. It's best to protect it from heavy rain.
What does 'standard fitting' mean for this shoe?
Standard fitting generally refers to a medium width that accommodates most average foot shapes. It does not specifically cater to very wide or narrow feet.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather uppers offer some protection, the shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the nubuck material and maintain comfort.
What is Cushion+ technology?
Cushion+ is Hotter's proprietary technology designed to provide enhanced cushioning and energy return with every step, contributing to greater comfort during prolonged wear.
Are there other colors and sizes available for the Daphne model?
Yes, the Daphne model is available in various colors and sizes. Please refer to the product listings for available options, as this guide focuses on the Brown, Size 6.5 variant.
Troubleshooting
Strap not holding securely
Ensure the touch-close fastening surfaces are clean and free from lint or debris. Press firmly to secure. If the hook-and-loop material is worn, consider if the strap requires replacement.
Discomfort after initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure the strap is adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Check for any internal seams or rough spots that may be causing irritation.
Nubuck material scuffs easily
Use a nubuck cleaning brush regularly to address minor scuffs and restore the nap. For deeper marks, a nubuck block can be effective. Consider applying a protective spray suitable for nubuck, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Slight squeaking noise
A small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or on the strap fastening might help eliminate squeaks caused by friction. Ensure all parts are dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
This shoe is designed for adult women and is suitable for standard foot widths. It pairs well with a variety of casual and smart-casual outfits. While the PU sole offers durability, it is best suited for paved surfaces and indoor environments. It is not designed for highly technical terrains or extreme weather conditions.
Care:
- Uppers: Clean nubuck uppers with a specialist nubuck cleaning brush or block to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by brushing once dry to restore the texture. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Lining: The textile lining can be gently spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and damp cloth if necessary. Allow to air dry completely.
- Sole: Wipe the PU sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing to prevent slipping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape when not in use.
