Hunter Original Chelsea Boots - Black - Size UK 7

These boots are generally considered true to size. If you are typically a UK size 7, we recommend ordering a UK size 7. If you plan to wear thick socks, you might consider going up half a size if available, or a full size for a more relaxed fit.

Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the rubber. For 'blooming,' use a specialized rubber boot buffer or spray.

The boots are waterproof and provide good traction on wet surfaces. However, they are not insulated for very cold temperatures or designed for deep snow or icy conditions. For warmth, pair them with thick socks. For extreme snow, specialized snow boots would be more appropriate.

The main body of the boot is handcrafted from natural vulcanised rubber with a matte finish. The lining is made of polyester.

As Chelsea-style ankle boots, they offer basic ankle coverage and protection. They are not designed for extensive ankle support like hiking boots, but the snug fit around the ankle provides stability for everyday wear in wet conditions.

The elastic side gussets offer some flexibility and stretch, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, for significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or check customer reviews for specific fit comments.

Ensure you are using the nylon pull tabs located at the back of the boot. Wiggle your foot gently while pulling the tab. For removal, push your foot forward slightly and use your other foot to gently hold down the heel of the boot being removed, sliding your foot out.

This is a natural process for high-quality rubber and doesn't affect performance. It can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth or treated with Hunter Boot Care Spray or a silicone buffer to restore the original matte finish.

Hunter Original Chelsea Boots are waterproof but not insulated for extreme cold. We recommend wearing thicker, thermal socks to enhance warmth in cooler conditions.

While the boots have a non-slip original tread pattern, always exercise caution on extremely slick surfaces like ice or polished wet floors. Clean the treads regularly to ensure maximum grip.
