FAQs
Are these Hunter Chelsea Boots truly waterproof?
Yes, these boots are handcrafted from natural vulcanised rubber, making them completely waterproof and ideal for protecting your feet in wet conditions.
How do I clean my Hunter Original Chelsea Boots?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and cold water after use. For tougher dirt, a mild soap can be used. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is 'bloom' and how do I remove it?
'Bloom' is a white powdery film that can appear on natural rubber. It's a harmless, natural wax that rises to the surface. You can wipe it off with a damp cloth, or use a Hunter Boot Buffer spray to fully restore the original finish.
Can I wear these boots in winter or very cold weather?
The boots are waterproof but not insulated. For colder temperatures, we recommend wearing thick, warm socks, or pairing them with Hunter's thermal boot socks for added warmth.
What material is the lining made of?
The boots feature a comfortable polyester lining for added softness and ease of wear.
Are these boots true to size?
Hunter boots generally run true to size, but we always recommend consulting the specific Hunter size guide and considering the type of socks you plan to wear for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
White powdery film ('bloom') appears on the surface of the boots
This is a natural process for vulcanised rubber. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean and to restore the finish, use a dedicated Hunter Boot Buffer spray.
Boots feel stiff or slightly uncomfortable initially
Natural rubber may feel stiff when new. Wear the boots for short periods to break them in. Ensure you have the correct size, allowing for the socks you typically wear.
Difficulty putting on or taking off the boots
Utilize the twin side gussets for flexibility and the rear pull-on loop for leverage. Ensure your socks are smooth and not bunched up inside the boot.
Feet feel cold while wearing the boots
These boots are not insulated. For colder weather, wear thick, thermal socks. Hunter also offers specialized boot socks designed to provide extra warmth.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your natural rubber boots.
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy or dirty conditions, wipe your boots clean with a damp cloth and cold water. For stubborn dirt, a mild, non-abrasive soap can be used. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or degrade.
- Preventing 'Bloom': A white powdery film, known as 'bloom,' may appear on natural rubber boots. This is a common and harmless process where soluble waxes rise to the surface. It can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth. For a restored finish, consider using a specialized Hunter Boot Buffer spray.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. To maintain their shape, it's best to store them upright. You can use boot trees or stuff them with crumpled paper if needed, though they generally hold their shape well.
