Why You Should Get Hotter Belle Boots

amomentwithfranca · 10 November 2018 · 43 Comments

At the start of the year, I reviewed a fabulous pair of boots from Hotter: Orla’s waterproof and breathable Gore-tex. I love these boots so much and wore them a lot last winter and again now since the start of the cooler weather. Following that I have become a big fan of Hotter shoes. They are super comfortable. This time I received Belle Boots to review. I was super excited about trying these boots because I got them in a tan colour which is a colour that I really wanted for this winter.

 

One of the things that I really like about these boots is that I had the option to choose between a standard leg or wide leg. I don’t think many brands have this option for people to choose, so I thought this was fantastic. I always struggle with boots because my calves are quite big so I often get problems to zip up regular boots.

When the boots arrived, I tried them straight away and they fit perfectly well! I couldn’t believe how opting for a wide leg would make such a difference. They were much more comfortable!

BELLE BOOTS – £139

Belle is an easy-going leather knee-high boot that glides onto your foot for a casual look and a durable, everyday feel. It is the perfect partner for the changeable weather and boasting on-trend utility boot styling.  This modern classic’s secret weapon lies in the beautiful warm textile lining.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Material: All Leather
  • Lining Material: All Textile – Synthetic
  • Sole Material: All Rubber
  • Removable Insoles: No
  • Fastening Style: Zip Fastening
  • Heel Height: 35mm, 1 1/2 inches
  • Hidden elastic inserts to the calf

These boots come in 5 different colours: Black. Dark Tan, Jet Black, Plum and Slate. They are all made of Waxed Nubuck apart from the black boot that is made of leather.

TESTING THE BOOTS

I have been wearing these boots for a couple of months now so I can really say that I have been testing them properly. I have worn them on different occasions and they have been always great to wear. They are so soft and comfortable inside and their tread is great too so I don’t slip or slide at all which is perfect for rainy days or even snowy days!

I like that you can wear them for hours and you won’t feel a thing because they are super comfortable. This is so important for me. Being able to be out and about all day walking none stop and feel comfortable is for sure a big high five for me.

Autumn is the perfect time of the year to start wearing boots to feel very warm and cosy. These boots are perfect for this and for the day to day routine such as the school run, food shopping or even walks around the park with the family during the weekend.

They are not only comfortable which for me is the most important thing I look for in a boot but they are also very stylish! They look great and you can pair it with skinny jeans and fluffy jumpers and you would look fab! A really cool and stylish mummy! 😉

I love that they have so many colours to choose from. I am so happy with them that I am seriously considering to get another pair in black!

FINAL THOUGHTS

I really like these boots! As I said I love that they have a wide leg because most boots are too tight around the calves which makes these boots just perfect for me. They have an extra adjustment at the top that makes the fit just right so you can wear them with tights or with skinny jeans. Both looks are great!

I can’t recommend them enough! You should definitely consider a new pair of boots for you too!

Have you bought from Hotter before? What do you think of the Belle boots? Do you also prefer boots that come with the wide leg as an option?

*Disclaimer: I was sent a pair of Belle boots for the purpose of this blog post. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    These look amazing! I’ve never bought from Hotter before but would definitely check them out when looking for boots in the future. A wider calf fitting is a must for me. You look great, I love the whole outfit. #KCACOLS

    These are gorgeous, I would love some Hotter boots. I had some Hotter shoes a while back, and so did my husband and we think they’re the best shoes anyone could own!

    These boots seem really great! They look so comfortable, as well as stylish. I’d probably get the regular width though, as my legs are fairly thin (well, below the knees anyway, my thighs maybe not so… lol) x #KCACOLS

    They look great on you Franca. I love the colour and that you can get them in a wide fit too. This is the reason why I don’t have any knee-high boots as I struggle to find them wide enough in a style I like. #KCACOLS

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers.

✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”.
