Hotter Shoes is currently owned by Wourth Group, formerly known as WoolOvers Group, which acquired the Hotter Shoes brand and its assets in July 2023 following the administration of its previous parent company, Unbound Group plc[1][3][5].
Wourth Group, under CEO Mike Lester, completed the acquisition for less than £7 million and has since shifted Hotter Shoes towards a stronger digital focus while also revitalizing UK manufacturing and retail presence[3].
The group also owns other brands such as Scotts of Stow, Thought Clothing, and, as of September 2024, Peter Hahn, targeting primarily the 50+ demographic in Western Europe[3][5].
