FAQs
Are these boots true to size?
Hunter boots are generally considered true to size, but we recommend checking the Hunter size chart if available, and considering wearing them with the type of socks your child typically uses to ensure a comfortable fit. If in doubt, size up slightly for growing feet.
How do I clean these boots?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and mild soapy water after use. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. For any 'blooming' (white residue), a damp cloth usually suffices.
Can my child wear these in snow?
These boots are waterproof and can protect against wet snow. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold. For warmth in snowy conditions, pair them with thick, thermal socks.
What kind of socks should be worn with these?
We recommend wearing thicker, comfortable socks made from cotton, wool, or synthetic blends to provide cushioning and some insulation. Avoid very thin socks to prevent rubbing and improve comfort.
What is the 'matte finish'?
The matte finish refers to the non-shiny, contemporary look of the boot. It's a classic style that complements various outfits and is generally easy to maintain.
Do these boots have good grip?
Yes, the boots feature Hunter's `original calendered outsole`, which is designed to provide good traction on wet and slippery surfaces, making them suitable for rainy and muddy conditions.
Are these boots heavy for children?
As they are made from durable natural rubber, they have a certain weight that contributes to their robustness and waterproof quality. While some lighter alternatives exist, the weight is generally considered appropriate for their design and purpose in protecting children's feet.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel cold or damp inside the boots.
Ensure children are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking or thermal socks, especially in colder weather. The boots provide waterproofing but not significant insulation on their own.
Boots appear dull or have a white powdery film (blooming).
This 'blooming' is a natural occurrence for high-quality rubber. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. For a lasting shine, consider using a Hunter Boot Buffer spray.
Difficulty in getting the boots on or off.
Check the sizing to ensure it's appropriate. If the boots are a good fit, a sprinkle of talcum powder inside the boots can help reduce friction, making them easier to put on and take off.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the `original calendered outsole` provides good grip, extreme caution should always be exercised on very slick or icy surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of mud or debris for optimal traction.

Setup:
Using your Hunter Original Wellington Boots is straightforward. Simply slide them on over appropriate socks. Ensure there is enough room for toes to wiggle comfortably and that the heel isn't slipping excessively.
Compatibility:
These boots are designed for kids and are unisex, suitable for both boys and girls. They are compatible with various outdoor activities and weather conditions where waterproof footwear is needed. Available in UK children's size 13 (as per this specific product), with other sizes available in the range.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth and mild soapy water to remove dirt and mud. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the rubber.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. To maintain their shape, you can use boot trees or stuff them with paper.
- Blooming: Occasionally, a white powdery film called 'blooming' may appear on the rubber. This is a natural process unique to high-quality natural rubber and is not a defect. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or a specialized Hunter Boot Buffer spray.
