Hunter Original Wellington Boots - Navy - UK 4

Hunter Kids Wellington Boots generally run true to size. However, it's always recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the brand's sizing guide for the most accurate fit, especially since they will likely be worn with socks.

For optimal comfort and to prevent rubbing, it is recommended to wear mid-calf or knee-high socks made from a breathable material like cotton or a synthetic blend. Hunter also offers specialized welly socks designed to fit perfectly inside their boots.

While the boots provide excellent waterproof protection, they offer limited insulation on their own. For colder weather, pair them with thick, thermal socks to keep feet warm. Hunter also offers fleece welly socks designed for added warmth.

Simply rinse the boots with clean water after use to remove mud and dirt. You can use a soft brush or sponge for stubborn areas. Then, wipe them dry with a clean cloth and allow them to air dry completely.

'Blooming' is a common process where a white, powdery film appears on the surface of natural rubber boots. It's a sign of high-quality rubber and is completely normal. It can be easily removed by wiping the boots with a damp cloth or using a specialized rubber boot buffer.

As they are made from durable natural rubber, these boots have a certain weight to them, which contributes to their robustness and waterproof qualities. While they are designed for children, their weight is balanced for stability and protection during outdoor activities.

Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks, preferably thicker, mid-calf to knee-high socks, to provide cushioning and prevent chafing. Also, double-check the sizing to ensure it's not too small.

This is a natural process for high-quality rubber. Wipe the boots down with a damp cloth. For a more thorough restoration, use a silicone-based buffer spray specifically designed for rubber boots, like the Hunter Boot Buffer.

Clean the boots thoroughly as described in the care section. For scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft, damp cloth. The use of a rubber boot buffer can also help restore the matte finish and condition the rubber.

First, inspect the boots carefully for any visible punctures, tears, or damage. If damage is found, repair kits for rubber boots may be available, or consider replacement depending on the severity. If the boots are new and leaking without visible damage, contact the retailer for assistance.
