Hotter Leanne Review

This August, I am getting active with the Hotter Leanne shoes! Since we moved into the rented flat, I have been doing more walking than ever before and with this warmer weather, having a comfortable shoe for walking is a must! That’s why I will always choose Hotter as they make shoes that feel as comfortable as slippers!

Before we moved house a couple of months ago, I used to rely on my car for most of my journeys as we lived far away from the city centre and the supermarkets. Now, living next to the town centre at approx. a 3 minute walk away, I have no excuse!

There are three new stone figurines (Stone Monster, Cave Bear and Stone Skeleton with weapon) which have just been added to the range, and we were delighted to have received Stone Skeleton. They are suitable for aged seven onwards.
