Hi! I’m Heidi, the founder of Bottine. In 2016, I started my adventure with a webshop and a small shop at home. Today, Bottine has grown into a full-fledged shoe store and online shop, with a cozy home base in the heart of Aarschot.
When I moved to Aarschot at the end of 2016, everything started to take off. I expanded the business and met my husband Gerry. Despite his busy shifts, he was always there to help – before or after work. Together, we built Bottine step by step.
In 2021, we moved to a larger space that we decorated just the way we like it. Our customers can browse and try on shoes at their own pace, while we’re always nearby for personal advice. At the same time, our webshop remains just as important – easy to use, clear, and with that same personal touch.
What started with women’s shoes has grown into a collection for women, men, and children. You’ll also find fun accessories like wallets, socks, gloves, unbreakable glasses, and feel-good gifts.
Whether you visit us in the shop or order online – at Bottine, we always focus on quality, friendly service, and making you feel good. Together with our amazing team – one full-timer and four flexi-jobbers – we do our best every day to give you the experience you deserve.
See you in-store or online!
Love,
Heidi & the Bottine team
