Lace Ups

In a word, yes. A major benefit of fine quality leather is the elasticity, and therefore its ability to mould or stretch to accommodate your foot shape. Leather fibres open up and allow the leather to give on the areas that your foot places pressure. It will not stretch unless pressure is applied, so don't expect it to loosen or go floppy like some lesser quality leathers or man-made materials can do. The structure of habbot shoes is such that the shoe leather will open up and soften to create a more comfortable fit across the width of the foot but the length will never change.

From classic black to offbeat colour combinations, we have created a beautiful collection of lace-up shoes to enhance any occasion - whether you’re out-and-about or working from home. Some ever-popular choices that are comfortable for all foot types include:

The 'ormond' in metallic silver leather combines the look of a classic lace-up with the lightness and comfort of a cushioned sneaker, making them the perfect statement shoe for women on the go.

The sophisticated 'pantone' is available in a range of stunning colours - an elegant, edgy heeled lace-up for all year-round wear.

If you're after something a little more unique - and something that's quintessentially habbot - you can't go past our 'raglins'. With a timeless, feminine silhouette, clean lines and almond toe, this head-turning yet ultra comfortable derby style lace-up is perfect for day to night dressing.

Leather can breathe - its fibrous structure enables a steady movement of air and water vapour. This is why only all-leather shoes insulate the feet, keeping them warm and dry in winter and cool and dry in summer. The perspiration given off our feet is absorbed by the leather and evaporated through its invisible pores. Leather offers unparalleled comfort for your feet. Its resilient fibres allow for sturdy soles, giving proper support to feet, plus soft and supple shoe uppers, permitting the feet to move freely and expand normally. Leather also moulds to the shape of your foot. As not everyone's feet are exactly the same, this means your shoes can adapt to your foot shape, giving you extra support. Another benefit of quality leather shoes is their durability, often outlasting shoes made from synthetic materials.
