FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they are crafted from high-quality rubber designed to keep your feet dry in wet, rainy conditions.
Are these suitable for heavy agricultural work?
While they are durable, they are designed for 'play' and casual wear. For heavy-duty agricultural work, a traditional taller Hunter boot may be more appropriate.
How do I clean my Hunter Play boots?
Clean them using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the rubber.
Should I wear socks with these boots?
Yes, wearing socks is recommended to improve comfort and prevent friction against the rubber lining.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in an upright position in a cool, dry location away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly tight with thick socks
Consider sizing up if you plan to wear heavy-weight socks or orthotic insoles, as the minimalist design has a tailored fit.
White powdery film appearing on the rubber
This is a natural occurrence called 'blooming,' where the rubber releases protective wax. Simply wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth or a dedicated rubber cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are pull-on boots, there is no complex setup required. To ensure a comfortable fit, wear socks appropriate for the season—thinner socks work well for daily city wear, while slightly thicker wool socks can provide extra warmth in cooler months. To care for your boots, wipe them down with a damp cloth after exposure to mud or salt to prevent the rubber from drying out. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the rubber material.
