Troubleshooting
Boots feel too snug or uncomfortable, especially with socks.
Review the sizing recommendation: if you are between sizes or wish to wear thick socks, it is recommended to size up. Additionally, consider wearing Hunter Chelsea socks, which are technically designed to prevent discomfort from skin contact with the rubber.
Difficulty putting the boots on.
Ensure you are fully utilizing the nylon pull-tab located at the back of the boot. This tab is designed to provide leverage and make stepping into the boots easier. The elasticated gussets should also provide sufficient stretch.
Rubber appears dull or has white marks/bloom.
This is a common phenomenon called 'blooming' with natural rubber and does not affect the boot's performance. Clean the boots with a damp cloth. For persistent blooming or to restore the matte finish, you can use a silicone-based rubber buffer or a specialized Hunter Boot Shine sponge.
Soles feel slippery or grip seems reduced.
Check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris or mud that might be reducing the effectiveness of the Hunter Original tread pattern. Clean the soles thoroughly with water and a brush if necessary to restore optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care
Cleaning: To clean your Hunter Original Chelsea Boots, wipe them down with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the natural rubber.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as prolonged exposure can cause the rubber to dry out, crack, or discolour.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain their shape, you can loosely stuff them with paper. Regularly checking for and cleaning any debris from the tread pattern will also help maintain optimal grip and longevity.
