Winter Style: Hotter Pixie Booties

December 9, 2017 · 2 Comments

Here in New England, it’s difficult to know how to dress for that timing between the middle of fall and the beginning of winter. Some days are warm enough that you don’t even feel like you need a coat, other days you may be caught in a freak snowstorm. This calls for a stylish, versatile bootie that has the treads to cope with unexpected snow yet the style to meet a quintessential autumnal look. We love the style and comfort of Hotter Pixie Boot.

Hotter Pixie Booties: Perfect for late autumn and winter

AESTHETIC

Pixie is a pretty Winter boot with an adjustable inside zipper and premium faux fur lining. It has an on-trend slouchy soft suede design with a one-inch heel height.

VERSATILE

Ideal for casual clothing including leggings, jeans or chinos. The Hotter Pixie boots come in Gunmetal, Navy, Plum, Rust and Loden Green. We selected the Loden Green, which is a subtle green that is very versatile with blacks, grays, and autumnal colors. I pair it with beige, maroon, russets, and oranges, but it also looks good with basic neutrals such as navy and black.

MY EXPERIENCE

They are toasty warm! Perfect for chilly evenings stargazing,

I find them useful for talking walks on uneven grounds such as parks and trails. They also are comfortable enough to wear when it the weather is unexpectedly a bit warm for the season, while still keeping me warm on chilly weather days. I really like the faux-fur lining and how comfortable it is.

The soles have just the right amount of sturdy traction for walking on wet leaves or when the ground becomes slick from snow, as well as walking on uneven surfaces such as around trees. The soles are flexible, sturdy and not slippery, which is a problem I have found with slouch booties before is the soles wear and become slippery or uneven. The thick Polyurethane seems pretty solid.

Stylish while having good footing on uneven terrain

CONCLUSION

The Hotter Pixie Boots are a stylish update on the trendy slouch bootie look. They combine versatile suede with several colors that compliment many colors in my wardrobe. The materials are highly durable and they are extremely comfortable to wear with good support when standing or walking. I find the heel height ideal for a day of shopping, traveling, at school, visiting a museum, the farmer’s market or other activities that require a fair amount of walking. They also keep feet warm for outdoor fall activities such as stargazing, picnics, foliage trips, apple- picking, local fairs, tailgating and other autumnal and winter events.

Summer Style: Beam Sandals by Hotter Casual Concepts

July 11, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Summer activities hold lots of walking: strolling the boardwalk, carnivals, fairs, antiquing, summer concerts, art exhibits, sightseeing walking tours, to name a few. Want a stylish but supportive summer sandal for when your playtime means hours on your feet? We like the Beam Summer Sandal by Hotter Casual Concepts.

USES FOR THE BEAM SANDAL

Ideal for vacations that have consecutive days that you are on your feet, or for running errands around town, the Beam Summer Sandal is a feminine but comfortable summer flat sandal that provides insole support. It is a slip-on style that is suitable for day and evening wear and is versatile with jeans, shorts, a pantsuit, sundresses, and casual evening wear such as to pair with a flowing skirt or capris for dinner at a restaurant or at an alfresco dining party at a friend’s house.

BEAM SANDAL DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

If you are familiar with Hotter Casual Concepts, the Beam sandal is a new and improved version of their Montserrat sandal model. The Beam has soft micro fibre insoles and lightweight, flexible soles.

The straps are leather and they are lined so as to avoid irritating the heel or causing blisters.

There is beveled beading decorating the full length of the T-bar on top of the sandal. The bevel catches the light and provides some visual interest but it is subtle, so it would still be appropriate in a work setting.

The Beam Sandal comes in four versatile colors: Black, Tango Red, Aquamarine and Nickel Metallic. The Aquamarine, Black, and Tango Red are Nubuck leather, and the Nickel Metallic is leather. We chose the Nickel Metallic color because it goes with so many colors and styles and it adds some understated sparkle to more conservative pants for a more dressy but relaxed look.

The heel height is 30 mm or 1 1/4 inch high. Just enough to give some lift and support without tiring out the arch.

There are four elasticated front straps that offer lots of give and flexibility when walking. The intent is so toes have space to wiggle and flex when walking or standing so that feet are not as tired or stiff after extended walking or standing.

It has a cushioned and contoured insole made of a soft microfiber material. They are soft and comfortable, wear well and provide support without being too rigid. The feel is similar to a very expensive pair of shockproof shoes.

The sole heel also has some traction treading similar to a driving shoe.

The soles are sturdy and have skid-proof traction for better grip and ease when walking, including in the garden or on unstable stone walkways.

PUTTING THE BEAM SANDALS TO THE TEST

I wore them all day for a day of errands, shopping, and going to lunch. My feet were comfortable and cushioned while walking, and felt supported like an anti-shock shoe even on stone stairs, uneven walkways, and hard floors. They are comfortable to wear while driving and the heel tread keeps me from scuffing the sandals so they stay in good condition. My feet did not feel restricted during the day and they were not sore at night despite walking and being on my feet all day.

Wearing the Beam Sandals for a day of errands, shopping and a luncheon held in a friend’s cottage garden, lots of standing around on a hard slate and stone patio after a morning full of walking!

Comfortable and stylish even after standing all day!
