Product Information
Full details
The Hotter Xavier shoes are designed for adult men seeking comfortable and smart everyday footwear. Their key benefit lies in the combination of soft leather, flexible elasticated inserts, and a cushioned feel, making them ideal for extended wear. A potential consideration is their slip-on design, which may not suit everyone's preference for a secured fit. Key features include genuine leather uppers and lining, a lightweight EVA sole for reduced fatigue, and a padded collar and tongue for enhanced comfort.

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 requiring a specifically wide fit. We recommend trying them on if possible or checking customer reviews for feedback on fit.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The Xavier shoes are primarily made of leather, which is not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, they are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions, as this can damage the leather and affect comfort. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection against light splashes.
How do I clean the EVA sole?
The EVA sole can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe it down regularly to remove dirt and debris.
What is the heel height?
The heel height for the Hotter Xavier shoes is approximately 33mm, or 1 1/2 inches.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles in the Hotter Xavier shoes are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or provide space for deeper cleaning.
What type of leather is used?
The shoes feature soft, smooth leathers for both the uppers and the lining, providing a comfortable and premium feel.
How should I store my Xavier shoes when not in use?
It is best to store your Xavier shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or the original box can help maintain their shape and protect them.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The elasticated inserts also provide some give.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new leather or sole combinations. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or ensuring the insole is properly seated. A slight scuff on the sole could also be the cause; wearing them normally may resolve this.
Leather appears dry or dull.
The leather may need conditioning. Apply a suitable leather conditioner with a soft cloth and buff gently to restore its natural sheen and suppleness.
Difficulty removing shoes.
Ensure you are using the elasticated inserts to your advantage. If persistent, check that the size is correct. You can also try wearing socks designed to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: The Xavier shoes are designed for adult wear and are compatible with most standard sock types. Removable insoles allow for the use of custom orthotics if needed.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner following product instructions. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
- Sole Care: The EVA sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Periodically check for any debris trapped in the sole treads.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
