Setup:
Wearing these boots is straightforward.
- Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (cotton or wool blends are ideal) to prevent rubbing and manage moisture.
- Use the `easy pull-on handles` located at the top of the boot shaft to guide your child's foot into the boot.
- Check that toes have adequate wiggle room and the heel sits comfortably. A thumb's width space at the toe is generally recommended for growing feet.
Compatibility:
- Age Group: Designed for `kids`.
- Gender: `Unisex`, suitable for all children.
- Size: This specific variant is `UK Size 11`. Ensure you select the correct size for your child's foot measurements. Consider trying them on with the type of socks your child will typically wear with them.
Care:
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Hunter Kids First Boots, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in mud, wipe the boots clean with a `damp cloth` and mild soapy water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow boots to `air dry naturally` away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) which can cause the rubber to crack or discolour. Dry the inside by placing a balled-up newspaper inside, which also helps absorb moisture.
- Storage: Store boots upright in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
- Bloom: You may notice a white powdery film on the rubber, known as 'bloom'. This is a natural process for high-quality rubber and is not a defect. It can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth or a specialised Hunter Boot Buffer spray if desired.
