Hotter Ludlow Boots - Black - Size 5.5

No, as they feature a suede upper, the Hotter Ludlow Boots are not inherently waterproof. We highly recommend applying a suede protector spray before wearing them, especially in damp conditions, to help repel water and stains.

These boots are listed in UK women's sizing. We generally recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing Hotter's specific sizing guide for the most accurate fit recommendation. Info needed: Link to Hotter's sizing guide.

While the suede upper offers some warmth, these boots are not designed for extreme cold or heavy snow. They are suitable for mild winter days or transitional seasons. For snowy or very wet conditions, we suggest footwear with more robust waterproofing and insulation.

'Stability+' is a Hotter-specific technology designed to provide enhanced support and a secure feeling underfoot. It helps to keep your foot stable within the boot, contributing to overall comfort during prolonged wear.

The PU sole can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if needed. Wipe clean and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners to preserve the sole material.

Info needed: Whether the insole is removable. If it is, this allows for custom orthotics. Please check the product specifications or contact customer support for this detail.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to smooth the fibers and revive the texture.

Wear them for short periods around the house to gently break them in. The leather-textile lining and suede upper will soften and conform to your foot over time.

Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser. For more stubborn marks, try a slightly damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap, then immediately blot dry and brush once dry.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing. Try removing the insole (if removable), sprinkle a little baby powder inside the boot, and then replace the insole. If not, it could be the sole, which usually resolves with wear.
