FAQs

Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?

While waterproof, Hunter Original Short Boots are not insulated for extreme cold. For colder temperatures, we recommend wearing thick wool socks for added warmth, or considering Hunter boots specifically designed for cold weather.

What is 'bloom' and how do I remove it?

Bloom is a harmless, cosmetic waxy film that can appear on natural rubber boots. It's a sign of high-quality rubber. You can easily wipe it away with a damp cloth. Hunter also offers a Boot Buffer spray to restore the boots' original lustre.

How do I choose the correct size?

Hunter boots generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick socks, you might consider sizing up by half a size if available, or trying your usual size with your preferred socks. Refer to Hunter's official size guide for precise measurements.

Can I wear these boots for prolonged periods?

Yes, these boots are designed for comfort and can be worn for extended periods. However, due to their rubber construction, they don't offer much breathability. It's advisable to take breaks and air your feet if wearing them all day.

Are these boots entirely waterproof?

Yes, the Hunter Original Short Boots are handcrafted from natural rubber with a rubber sole and are fully waterproof, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

What is the difference between Original Short and Original Play Short boots?

The product described here is the 'Hunter Original Short Boots'. The 'Original Play Short' is a distinct variant, which typically features a more lightweight design and a flatter sole, often for more casual, active wear, while the 'Original Short' maintains the classic robust build and fit of the Original Tall.

Troubleshooting

White powdery film (bloom) appears on boots.

Bloom is a natural characteristic of high-quality rubber. Wipe it off with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean and to restore shine, use a specialized Hunter Boot Buffer spray.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.

New rubber boots can be stiff initially. Wear them for short periods to break them in. Ensure you have the correct size; consider wearing thicker socks for added comfort if needed.

Inner lining feels damp after use, even without water penetration.

Rubber boots are not breathable, so condensation can occur from foot perspiration. Ensure boots are fully dry inside after each wear. Consider moisture-wicking socks to help manage internal dampness.

Rubber appears dull or faded over time.

Exposure to sunlight and general wear can cause dulling. Regular cleaning and occasional treatment with a rubber boot conditioner or buffer can help maintain their matte finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Waterproofing: Keeps feet completely dry in rain and puddles.

  • Handcrafted Durability: Built to last with high-quality natural rubber and meticulous construction.

Cons

  • Potentially Heavy: At 1320g per pair, they may feel substantial for some users.
  • Limited Breathability: Natural rubber, while waterproof, does not offer much ventilation.
  • Specific Fit: While built for comfort, the "Original fit" might not suit all foot shapes perfectly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Hunter Original Short Boots require no specific setup. Simply unpack them from their box and they are ready to wear.

Compatibility

These boots are designed for Female adults. Their versatile black color and classic design make them compatible with a wide range of casual and outdoor attire. They are suitable for various activities including:

  • Rainy day commutes
  • Gardening
  • Dog walking
  • Festivals and outdoor events
  • General wet weather wear

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Hunter Original Short Boots:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the boots with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn marks, use a specialized rubber boot buffer or cleaner.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as extreme heat can damage the rubber.
  3. Storage: Store your boots upright in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or creasing the rubber, which can lead to cracks.
  4. Bloom: Natural rubber products may occasionally develop a white powdery film known as 'bloom'. This is a characteristic of high-quality natural rubber and is not a defect. It can be wiped away with a damp cloth or treated with a Hunter Boot Buffer spray to restore the boots' original finish.
  5. Avoid Solvents: Do not use chemical solvents, harsh detergents, or silicone-based polishes, as these can damage the rubber.
