Product Information
Full details
The Hunter Kids First Classic Rain Boot is designed for young adventurers aged 18 months to 8 years who love exploring outdoors, even in wet weather. Its primary benefit is keeping little feet dry and comfortable with a focus on natural rubber construction and a recycled polyester lining. A minor caveat is that they may fit slightly small, so sizing up is recommended if your child is between sizes. Key features include waterproof natural rubber, a flat sole for stability, a rounded toe for movement, and a tread designed to reduce slipping.

FAQs
How do I know what size to order?
The boots are sized for children aged 18 months to 8 years. They tend to fit slightly smaller than standard shoe sizes. If your child is between sizes, it is recommended to size up to ensure a comfortable fit.
Are these boots suitable for everyday wear?
These boots are primarily designed for outdoor use, especially in wet or muddy conditions. While comfortable, the natural rubber construction and tread pattern are optimized for active, weather-dependent play rather than extended indoor wear.
What material are the boots made from?
The upper and sole are made from 100% natural rubber. The lining and insole are made from 100% recycled polyester and latex sponge foam.
Can these boots be machine washed?
No, the boots should not be machine washed. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth or mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the benefit of the recycled polyester lining?
The recycled polyester lining provides a soft and comfortable interior for the child's feet. Using recycled materials also contributes to sustainability.
How should I store the boots when not in use?
Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing them, and do not store them near heat sources, as this can damage the natural rubber.
Do these boots have good grip?
Yes, the boots feature a specially developed tread on the sole designed to reduce slipping, offering better traction on wet and potentially slick surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Boots are difficult to put on.
This can be due to the snug fit for active wear and the natural rubber material. Ensure the child's foot is positioned correctly. If the child is between sizes, consider sizing up as per recommendations. A little baby powder inside can sometimes help feet slide in easier.
Water is leaking into the boots.
Check for any visible punctures or damage to the rubber. Ensure the boots are fully waterproof and that the leak is not coming from the top opening. If damage is found, consider replacement.
Boots feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Some children prefer wearing socks with their wellington boots for added comfort. The recycled polyester lining is designed for comfort, but socks can offer an extra layer.
Rubber appears dull or faded.
This is normal wear for natural rubber. To restore shine, use a Hunter Boot Buffer or a rubber care spray. Always allow boots to air dry away from direct heat.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Hunter Kids First Wellington Boots:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth or a mild soap and water solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the rubber.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. This helps prevent the rubber from degrading over time.
- Protection: For maintaining the natural rubber's sheen, a Hunter Boot Buffer or rubber care spray can be used periodically.
