Brilliant boots for autumn walks #HotterWalkies

In case the colours of my blog and most recent posts on here and on Instagram didn't give you a hint, I LOVE autumn! A big part of this is of course the changing of the seasons outside, seeing the leaves change colour and fall from the trees, and wrapping up to go out and enjoy it all.

Warm colours, comfy boots and snugly scarves are some of my favourite things about the season.

Being 32 weeks pregnant, I am trying to remain active but also conscious of not overdoing it too, and of being a bit steadier on my feet. This is all good news to our dog, Watson, as he isn't that fond of walking too far, or of wet weather, so a quick trot around the block and home again for cuddles does the trick.

With it being October, it was the perfect excuse to pick a new pair of boots to keep my feet toasty and comfortable too, and looking at the selection from Hotter, I was a bit spoilt for choice, as there were several styles that stood out to me and a great selection of colours too. I first discovered Hotter four years ago, and the purple shoe boots and fur topped ankle boots I walked away with back then are still going strong in my wardrobe.

In the end, this time around I chose the Melody luxury fur lined boots, in Chestnut (RRP £99). Calf height, featuring a fur trim at the top, buckle detail at the bottom and all the hidden comfort that Hotter is so well know for, I knew these boots would become my autumn staples.

The darker brown shade makes them really versatile, the leather helps them to be weather-proof, as opposed to suede options, and for someone like me who has wider feet that the norm (and bigger calves too!), these are a dream and fit like a glove.

I always go up a size in boots, to size 6, to help with thick socks or tights and to leave enough wriggle room, and these fit just so and have a really comfortable sole, and good grip too, so even on wet leaves, I have been able to walk Watson with confidence.

Sometimes one of our cats, Shelock, likes to join us!

They come in black (leather) and gunmetal (suede) and I can't recommend them enough if you're looking for a sturdy boot that you can happily wear all autumn and winter long, come rain or shine, or whether you are walking the dog or pairing with a dress.

Definitely #HotterWalkies for me with these on my feet!
