Hunter Original Short Boot - Red - Size UK 8

Yes, the Hunter Original Short Boots are handcrafted from natural rubber with a sealed construction, making them fully waterproof for reliable protection in wet conditions.

The upper and outsole are made from durable natural rubber, and the lining is made from polyester for comfort.

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and water after each use. For white marks (blooming), use Hunter Boot Buffer or a silicone spray. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

Hunter boots are generally true to size. They are built on the original last for an exceptional fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next size up to allow for thicker socks.

While they are waterproof, these boots do not offer significant insulation against extreme cold. For colder temperatures, we recommend wearing thick thermal socks. They are suitable for light snow but are not designed for deep snow or ice.

'Blooming' is a common process in high-quality natural rubber, where insoluble particles rise to the surface, creating a white, powdery film. It's not a defect. To prevent or remove it, regularly clean your boots and use a Hunter Boot Buffer or silicone spray designed for rubber footwear.

Designed with the original last for comfort, these boots are suitable for extended wear. However, individual comfort can vary. For very long walks, consider adding a comfortable insole if needed and ensuring you wear appropriate socks.

This is 'blooming,' a natural process of high-quality rubber. Use Hunter Boot Buffer or a silicone-based boot spray on a clean cloth to restore the boots' original finish. Wipe clean and allow to dry.

Natural rubber can be stiff when new. Wear them for short periods at first with thick socks to break them in. The rubber will soften and mold to your foot with use.

While Hunter outsoles offer good grip, exercise caution on extremely smooth, wet, or icy surfaces. The rubber outsole provides traction but can still slip under certain conditions.

Ensure boots are thoroughly dry after each use. Remove any insoles if present and allow them to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight before shaking it out.
