Rapid Boots From Hotter Shoes: A Review #Ad

rapid boots hotter shoes

I’ve been wearing shoes and boots from Hotter Shoes for a number of years now.  There’s a lot to like.  They are a high quality producer of shoes and even though I’ve had some of my shoes and boots quite a few years, I’ve yet to have to retire any because they are past their best.  They just seem to keep going.  Recently they asked me if I’d like to try out their Rapid Boots, which are a new style for the autumn/winter season and I was keen to give them a go.

In the book they mention the Turquoise Turtle Knot and I was intrigued.  I popped over the YouTube to find a video to show me how to tie the knot.  It’s fairly easy to master and it looks very similar to a standard bow, but to date I haven’t had to retie this knot on my boots which is a win for me.  The knot is easy to undo if you need to, you just untie it in the same way as a standard shoelace bow.

That’s the knot lesson done with, now back to my Rapid Boots.  As you’d expect from Hotter Shoes, they are really comfortable to wear.  There’s generous padding to the ankle which I appreciate as my ankles tend to be on the weak side and this helps the boots feel really supportive.  In the past I’ve been to Hotter Shoes events and seen what’s inside the sole of their shoes and boots (they have samples with cutaway sides so you can see) and everything is designed to keep your feet as comfortable as possible with plenty of cushioning.  I do a lot of walking in my daily life: I walk to the swimming pool, the shops and beyond.  I would say that most days I do at least 20-30 minutes of walking and my Rapid Boots have more than kept up with this kind of pace.  They have been comfortable since day one (no wearing in necessary with these) as the leather is soft and flexible.  I can see me wearing these through the autumn and into the winter as they are so easy to wear.
