Hunter Wellington Boots - Black - Size: 13

These boots are part of the 'First' series, specifically designed for infants and young children, making them ideal for toddlers starting their outdoor adventures. This particular pair is UK size 13 for infants.

We recommend carefully measuring your child's foot from heel to longest toe while standing. Compare this measurement to Hunter's official size chart to find the best fit. Remember to account for socks.

While these boots are fully waterproof, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold or heavy snow. For warmth in colder temperatures, pair them with thick, thermal socks. For deep snow, dedicated snow boots may be more appropriate.

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use. For stubborn mud, use mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Store them upright in a cool, dry place.

While black can show dust, mud is typically less noticeable than on lighter colors. The smooth rubber surface makes them very easy to wipe clean, so maintaining their pristine look is straightforward.

Hunter Wellington Boots are known for their durable, natural rubber construction, which can feel substantial compared to lightweight shoes. However, they are designed with the comfort and support appropriate for an infant's foot within this material type.

Ensure your child is wearing socks, as bare feet can create friction. Try gently wiggling the foot and pulling from the top edge. You can also try a slightly thinner sock.

Verify the boots are completely dry inside before each use. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., thermal for colder weather) and that the boots are the correct size to allow for circulation without being too loose.

This is a natural process called 'blooming' that can occur with natural rubber. It's not a defect. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth or use a silicone-based rubber boot care spray to restore their original finish.

Double-check the sizing. Boots that are too large or too small can hinder movement. Ensure socks are not bunched up. Give your child time to get used to walking in wellington boots, which can be different from regular shoes.
