Super cute, fun statement shoes!
These shoes are adorable! The print on them is very vibrant and the materials they’re made of feel sturdy. They’re really comfortable to wear all day as well. The packaging says they aren’t waterproof, so I keep them dry and try not to wear them in wet weather.They don’t offer half sizes, so I sized down. I typically wear an 8.5 but bought size 8 and it worked perfectly since there’s plenty of room for the toes without feeling squashed. They don’t slip on easily since the strap is rigid fabric and not elastic, but they do slip off well.I can’t wait for more styles to come out so that I can collect them. I totally missed out on the piñata pair and still am kicking myself for that! I definitely recommend these if you’re looking for a versatile, fun, comfortable statement shoe to liven up your outfit.

Adorable for costumes or anytime!
I ordered these shoes for a costume. They are very comfortable and the hearts are bright. They feel like velvet and have an adjustable buckle across the front to adjust your comfort. They are a little bigger than what I normally wear but they don't sell half sizes. Definitely worth the investment.

Cute and comfortable
I have MANY pairs of hot chocolate shoes (size 40) and wear them to work (I’m a teacher). They are comfortable and the kids love them. If they get messy I just throw them in the laundry and they are as good as new. I also like the companies sustainability and outreach programs.

Quality, beautiful presentation and packaging, attention to details.
I usually wear an 8.5 and ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly. Wide toe box. I have flat feet and actually prefer a flat or mostly flat sole like these have so they are comfortable to me at first try on but, if I notice discomfort and have to use a comfort insole or something breaks I will update.I LOVED the presentation and unboxing, absolutely beautiful attention to detail. There is a certificate of authenticity and a small silicone badge with it, I wasn't expecting the details. The shoes were wrapped and protected beautifully with paper and cardboard prongs so they wouldn't deform in shipping. I noticed absolutely no toe dents or deformation that other reviews had. Both sizes are the same (a problem some reviews had) and they do run wide, so it worked out for me to go down in size since I'm usually a half size. The soles look adequately thick with some slight slip resistance. I wouldn't try to walk on ice or spills in them but, they handled slippery tile well enough. The height of the in-step is good and doesn't hit too low or high to cause irritation. I didn't notice any pressure points. The glue and print seemed to be flawless at first inspection. Due to the abundance of reviews with pictures of the sole detaching, I will be carrying high strength epoxy glue in my purse when wearing, just in case, and suggest you do the same. This glue is quality and if a glue failure occurs it should secure your sole without any future issues if applied and set correctly. I will also be applying scotch guard. I purchased 3 other pair in this brand, including their platforms and sneaker, and will have reviews and updates for those as well once they arrive. I was prepared to return if even the slightest flaw was noticed and as far as this pair is concerned, at least for now, I'm happy to say they will be staying with me.

Not for those with a very high arch and instep unless you insert arch supports.
Flats- Antoinette 2 are fabulously adorable.I measured my foot according to instructions and ordered a size 7US as losted on the designer's measurement guide. They fit well with a nice toe box and snug heel. For reference, I usually wear a size 8 or 8.5 wide in a dress shoe because my feet swell and I have to have a thick arch support for very high arches and instep. These flats fit very snuggly at first, almost uncomfortably so and I had to use the last hole to buckle them. But, because they are canvas, they stretched throughout the da to fit my feet better. The description says cushioned. If you are used to walking barefoot or in shoes with no lining, I guess these shoes would be considered cushioned. I do not. The sole is more like that which is found on a tennis shoe, so when walking on concrete and stone, there is less jarring to the feet and knees desoite the lack of cushioning. However, since the shoe does stretch, I can and will add a cushioned insert with arch support. Overall, beautiful and well made shoe. I will order another pattern in a few paychecks and give the mid-heels a try.

Whimsical and clever and fun! Very comfortable shoe!
I really love Hot Chocolate Designs shoes! This is one of those brands that I keep coming back to over and over again! I own three pairs of Hot Chocolates now, and have six or so other pairs on my wish list!The shoes are slightly larger than exoected, but still within the normal sizing range. I wear an 8.0 to 8.5 (US), and an 8.0 in these is perfect for me! They have a nice wide toe box, which definitely makes them seem larger.The patterns in these shoes are phenomenal! They are vibrant and beautiful and whimsical and fun! I like that the print is a part of the fabric, and doesn't look like it was just stamped on.These have a great quality of workmanship. They arrive beautifully packaged, and well protected. On the three pair I have purchased, I don't have any stray strings, glue, or any flaws. The backs of the shoes are soft enough and bent out enough that they don't rub or cause blisters. The strap keeps the shoe securily and comfortably on your foot.The shoe does not offer a huge amount of arch support, but it is not cheap and cardboard-y inside. For me, I can wear these comfortably all day. I am a teacher, so I move around a lot in them. They are large enough inside that additional supports could be added easily and comfortably.I love love love these shoes! I chose these pink robot shoes because I teach robotics at a high school, and it only makes sense that I would have shoes with robots!
