FAQs
Are these Hunter Chelsea Boots true to size?
Hunter boots are generally considered true to size. If you plan to wear thick socks, you might consider sizing up by half a size if available, or opting for your regular size if you prefer a snug fit with normal socks.
How do I clean my Hunter Original Chelsea Boots?
To clean, wipe the boots with a damp cloth using cold, soapy water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. For restoring the finish, especially if 'blooming' occurs, a specialized Hunter Boot Buffer can be used.
Can I wear these boots in snowy or very cold weather?
These boots are waterproof and suitable for wet conditions, including light snow. However, they are not insulated and are not designed for extreme cold or heavy snow. For colder temperatures, you may need to wear thick thermal socks.
What is 'vulcanized natural rubber'?
Vulcanization is a chemical process that cures rubber, making it more durable, resilient, and waterproof. Natural rubber provides flexibility and comfort, while vulcanization enhances its strength and weather resistance.
Will these boots retain their matte finish?
The boots have a classic matte finish. While regular cleaning helps maintain their appearance, natural wear and tear, as well as the 'blooming' process, can affect the finish over time. Using a Hunter Boot Buffer can help to restore it.
Are these boots breathable?
As they are made from natural rubber, these boots offer excellent waterproofing but have limited breathability compared to boots made with synthetic breathable membranes. They are best suited for cooler, wet conditions rather than hot, humid environments.
Troubleshooting
Boots develop a white powdery film (blooming).
This is a natural process in high-quality rubber. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth. For a more complete restoration of the finish, use a specialized Hunter Boot Buffer spray.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Natural rubber may feel a bit stiff at first. Wear them for short periods to break them in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for comfort and fit. If discomfort persists, double-check sizing.
Difficulty putting the boots on or taking them off.
Fully utilize the nylon pull-tab at the back of the boot. Ensure the elasticated gussets are flexible. If wearing thick socks, try thinner ones or ensure the boot size accommodates them.
Rubber appears dull or discoloured.
Clean the boots thoroughly with cold, soapy water and a soft cloth to remove any dirt or residue. For deeper restoration, consider using a rubber boot conditioner or Hunter Boot Buffer.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Hunter Original Chelsea Boots:
- Cleaning: Wipe down boots regularly with cold, soapy water after use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt and mud. Do not use solvents or harsh cleaning agents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to dry out and crack.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them upright to help maintain their shape.
- Bloom: Over time, you may notice a white powdery film on the rubber. This is a natural occurrence called 'blooming' and is a characteristic of high-quality natural rubber. It can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth or a specialized Hunter Boot Buffer spray, which helps to restore the original finish.
