Hunter First Classic Wellies are 100% waterproof, making them suitable for wet conditions including snow. However, they are not insulated. For cold or snowy weather, it's recommended to pair them with warm, thermal socks to keep your child's feet comfortable.
To ensure the best fit, measure your child's foot length and refer to Hunter's official sizing guide. It's often recommended to allow a small amount of extra space for growth and thicker socks.
Being 'vegan' means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these wellies, making them a cruelty-free choice.
Yes, they can be worn in warmer, wet weather. However, as they are rubber and not highly breathable, your child's feet might get warm. Wearing thinner, moisture-wicking socks can help manage this.
Store your wellies upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources. This prevents the rubber from drying out, cracking, or losing its shape. Do not store them folded or creased.
Weighing approximately 0.45 KG per boot (for a UK size 9), these wellies are designed to be lightweight enough for children to wear comfortably during active play, minimizing fatigue.
Hunter First Classic Wellies are waterproof but not insulated. For colder weather, ensure your child wears thick, warm socks, such as wool or thermal socks, to provide additional warmth.
Natural rubber can be quite firm when new. With regular wear, the material will soften and become more flexible. Ensure the sizing is correct and allow time for them to break in.
This is a natural process called 'blooming' specific to high-quality vulcanized rubber. It's not a defect and can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth. You can also use a specialized rubber boot buffer to restore the finish.
Check the tread for any accumulated mud, dirt, or debris and clean it thoroughly. While the tread is designed to reduce slipping, extreme surfaces can still be hazardous. Also, ensure the wellies are the correct size to prevent tripping.
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick if they are already snug). If they are still difficult, try using a boot jack for removal. Some children find it easier to put them on by pulling from the sides of the shaft.
These wellies are designed for immediate use. Simply help your child pull them on their feet. Ensure their socks are comfortable and not bunched up, and that the wellies fit snugly but allow for natural foot movement.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Hunter First Classic Wellies:
