FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide calves?
The adjustable buckle and gusset design allow for some flexibility, but they are generally designed for a standard fit.
Can I wear these in the snow?
While waterproof, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. You may need to wear thick thermal socks for warmth.
How do I clean the inside of the boots?
If water gets inside, wipe the interior with a clean, dry cloth and let them air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
Do these boots run true to size?
Hunter boots typically fit true to size, but if you plan to wear thick wool socks, some users prefer to size up.
Can I store these in the garage?
Yes, provided the area is cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight or harsh chemical fumes.
Troubleshooting
White powdery film appears on the surface
This is a natural process called 'blooming.' It can be removed by wiping the boots with a damp cloth or using a specialized rubber boot buffer.
Boots feel too tight around the calf
Adjust the metal buckle on the side gusset to loosen the fit for extra room.
Difficulty pulling the boots on or off
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and use a boot jack if you find the suction effect of the rubber makes removal challenging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hunter boots, proper care is essential. Since these are made of natural rubber, avoid storing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the material to crack or fade. After wearing them in muddy or salty conditions, rinse the exterior with clean water and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. It is recommended to wear thick, moisture-wicking socks to provide extra cushioning and prevent rubbing. To maintain the rubber's finish, you may use a rubber care product occasionally to prevent 'blooming'—a white powdery residue that can naturally appear on the surface of natural rubber.
