FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather or snow?
While waterproof, the Hunter Original Kids' Wellington Boots are uninsulated. For very cold weather or snow, we recommend pairing them with warm, thermal socks or Hunter fleece boot socks for added warmth.
How do I know which size to choose for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot and referring to the Hunter size chart for children's footwear. If between sizes, it's often better to size up slightly to allow for growth and thicker socks.
Can these boots be used for purposes other than rain?
Yes, while excellent for rain, they are also suitable for muddy conditions, gardening, light hiking, or any outdoor activity where protection from wet and dirty environments is needed.
What should I do if the boots get muddy inside?
If the inside gets muddy, rinse the interior with clean water and a mild soap. Ensure they are thoroughly air-dried upside down in a well-ventilated area before next use to prevent mildew.
Do these boots have good grip on slippery surfaces?
The Original calendered outsole is designed to provide good grip and traction on wet and uneven surfaces, making them suitable for most outdoor rainy-day conditions.
How long can I expect these boots to last?
With proper care and storage, Hunter Original Wellington Boots are known for their durability and can last for several years, often outlasting a child's growth spurt before needing replacement.
Are these boots heavy for children?
Being made of durable rubber, they have a certain weight. However, they are designed to be comfortable and manageable for children's active use, comparable to other high-quality wellington boots.
Is the red color exactly as shown?
The boots feature a vibrant red color with a matte finish. Slight variations in color representation can occur due to screen settings, but it is a classic Hunter red.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose.
Ensure correct size has been chosen. Hunter boots are designed for children's feet; consider trying with different sock thicknesses.
White powdery film (bloom) appears on boots.
This is a natural process for high-quality rubber. Wipe with a damp cloth. Hunter offers boot buffer and rubber care sprays to restore the finish.
Boots are difficult to put on or take off.
Ensure socks are smooth. For taking off, sit down and use the other foot to gently push down on the heel of the boot being removed while pulling the foot out.
Feet still feel cold in the boots.
Hunter Original boots are unlined rubber. For warmth, pair them with thick, insulated socks or Hunter fleece boot socks.
Boots develop a strong rubber smell.
This is normal for new rubber products. Store them in a well-ventilated area for a few days to dissipate the smell.

Setup:Using your Hunter Original Kids' Wellington Boots is straightforward:1. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks, preferably moisture-wicking or warm socks depending on the weather, as the boots are not insulated.2. Help your child slide their foot into the boot. The graded leg height design assists in a comfortable fit.3. Check that the fit is snug but not too tight, allowing for natural movement of the toes.Compatibility:These boots are designed for unisex kids in UK size 12. They are compatible with a wide range of outdoor clothing and suitable for various terrains found in parks, gardens, schoolyards, and general outdoor play in wet conditions.Care:Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Hunter wellington boots:- Cleaning: After use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not dry them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or degrade.- Storage: Store boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the boots to maintain their shape.- Bloom: Occasionally, you may notice a white powdery film on the rubber surface. This is known as 'bloom' and is a natural process where insoluble waxes rise to the surface of the rubber. It's a characteristic of high-quality natural rubber and does not affect the performance or durability of the boots. Bloom can be wiped off with a damp cloth, and specialized Hunter boot care products can help restore the original finish.
