FAQs
What material are these boots made from?
These boots are handcrafted from natural rubber, which provides excellent waterproofing and durability. They feature a 100% recycled polyester lining for comfort.
Are these boots insulated for winter or snow?
The Hunter First Boot is primarily designed for wet and rainy conditions, offering excellent waterproofing. They are not specifically insulated for very cold temperatures or deep snow. For warmth in winter, we recommend pairing them with thick, thermal socks.
How do I clean my child's Hunter First Boots?
To clean, simply wipe the boots down with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do Hunter First Boots run true to size?
Hunter boots generally fit true to size. However, children's feet can vary, and it's always best to measure your child's foot and consult the Hunter size guide if available to ensure the best fit. Remember to leave a little room for growth and socks.
What are the pull-on handles for?
The easy pull-on handles are designed to help your child put on and take off their boots independently, promoting self-sufficiency and making the boots easier to handle.
Will the color fade over time?
While Hunter boots are made with durable, vibrant colors, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over many years. Proper storage away from direct sunlight will help maintain their color.
Troubleshooting
My child's feet still feel cold in the boots.
The Hunter First Boots are primarily designed for waterproofing, not insulation. For colder weather, ensure your child wears thick, warm socks, preferably wool or thermal socks, to provide additional warmth.
The boots are difficult for my child to put on or take off.
First, ensure the boots are the correct size. If they are, encourage your child to use the easy pull-on handles located at the top of the boot. Sometimes, wearing smoother socks can also help with ease of entry and exit.
There's a white powdery film on the boots.
This is a natural phenomenon called 'bloom' that can occur on high-quality natural rubber. It's not a defect. Simply wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. For a more thorough restoration of shine, Hunter offers a 'Boot Buffer' product.
The boots are cracked or leaking.
Inspect the boots for any visible damage. Ensure they have been stored correctly, away from direct heat or sunlight which can dry out natural rubber. If the damage is significant and within the warranty period, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Hunter First Boots is simple:
- Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct size for your child's foot (UK size 10 for this model). Children's feet grow quickly, so regularly check for a comfortable fit.
- Wear: Guide your child to use the easy pull-on handles to pull the boots onto their feet. Make sure their socks are smooth inside the boot.
Compatibility
These boots are compatible with:
- Weather Conditions: Ideal for rainy, muddy, and wet outdoor environments.
- Activities: Perfect for puddle splashing, garden play, nature walks, and general outdoor adventures.
- Attire: Best paired with waterproof trousers or rain suits to maximize protection from the elements.
Care
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your Hunter First Boots:
- Cleaning: After use, especially if muddy, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on radiators, in direct sunlight, or near other heat sources, as this can dry out and crack the rubber.
- Storage: Store boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the rubber.
- Bloom: Hunter rubber boots sometimes develop a white powdery film, known as 'bloom'. This is a natural process unique to high-quality natural rubber and is not a defect. It can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth or a Hunter Boot Buffer spray if desired.
