FAQs
Are these wellies truly 100% waterproof?
Yes, the Hunter First Classic Wellies are handcrafted from natural vulcanized rubber and are 100% waterproof, ensuring your child's feet stay dry in wet conditions.
What material is the lining made of?
The wellies feature a soft polyester lining for enhanced comfort during wear.
Are these boots suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, these Hunter First Classic Wellies have a Unisex design, making them suitable for all children.
How do I clean the matt finish if it gets discoloured or develops a white film?
A white powdery film (known as 'bloom') is natural for high-quality rubber. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks or to restore the finish, a silicone-based boot buffer or Hunter-specific rubber care product is recommended (Info needed: product specific care recommendations for matt finish).
Can my child wear thick socks with these wellies?
Yes, the design with a flatter sole and rounder toe allows for room to move, making them generally suitable for wearing with socks, including thicker ones for added warmth or comfort, depending on the exact fit.
How heavy are these wellies for a child?
Each boot weighs approximately 0.45 KG, making them relatively lightweight and comfortable for children to wear and move around in.
What is the shaft height of these boots?
These wellies feature a knee-high shaft height, providing ample coverage and protection against splashes and deeper puddles.
Troubleshooting
White powdery residue (bloom) appears on boots.
This is a natural process of high-quality vulcanized rubber. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For a lasting shine, use a silicone-based boot buffer or specialized rubber boot care product.
Boots feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Hunter wellies offer a rounder toe for room, but if still an issue, consider measuring your child's foot again against a size guide. If too large, thick socks can help, but a proper fit is best for comfort and safety.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the boots.
Ensure the polyester lining is fully dry after each use. Remove any insoles if present and air them out. A sprinkle of baking soda inside the boots can help absorb odors. Regularly wipe the inside with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant if needed.
Slipping still occurs on certain surfaces.
While the boots have a slip-resistant tread, no footwear is entirely slip-proof on all surfaces (e.g., ice, very oily surfaces). Encourage children to walk cautiously on extremely slick ground.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Hunter First Classic Wellies:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the wellies clean with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow wellies to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or discolour.
- Storage: Store wellies in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keep them upright to maintain their shape.
- Maintaining Finish: The matt finish can sometimes develop a white, powdery bloom. This is a natural process of high-quality rubber and can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth and a silicone-based boot buffer or Hunter Boot Shine spray (Info needed: product specific care recommendations for matt finish).
