FAQs
What age group are these boots designed for?
These Hunter First Wellies are specifically designed for toddlers, providing comfort and support for their growing feet.
Are these boots suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the Hunter First Wellies are a unisex design, suitable for any toddler.
How do I ensure the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and consult the Hunter size guide. Always allow a little extra room for comfortable socks and natural foot movement, but avoid excessive space.
How should I clean my Hunter First Wellies?
Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth after use. For tougher mud, a mild soap solution can be used. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
Are these wellies insulated for cold weather?
No, while 100% waterproof, these boots are not insulated. For colder temperatures, pair them with thick, warm socks to keep your child's feet comfortable.
What does 'vulcanised rubber' mean?
Vulcanised rubber is natural rubber that has undergone a chemical process to enhance its strength, durability, elasticity, and resistance to water and temperature changes, making the boots exceptionally robust.
Can I put these wellies in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to wash these wellies in a washing machine. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth is the best method to preserve the integrity of the natural rubber.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose
Ensure the correct size is chosen for your child's current foot size. Consider the thickness of socks being worn. If still an issue, a different size might be needed.
Child slips while wearing boots
The boots feature a specialised tread to reduce slipping. Ensure the surface is appropriate for play (e.g., extremely icy surfaces will still be slippery). Check the tread for excessive wear if the boots have been used extensively.
Boots appear dull or develop a white film
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. The white film (blooming) is normal for natural rubber and can be wiped away. For persistent dullness, ensure boots are dried away from heat and consider a natural rubber care product.
Feet feel cold inside boots
While 100% waterproof, these boots are not insulated. Pair them with appropriate warm socks, especially in colder weather, to provide necessary warmth.
Pros and Cons

- - Designed for comfort and healthy foot development.
- - Enhanced safety with slip-reducing tread.
- - High-quality, handcrafted construction for long-lasting wear.
- - Easy to clean and maintain.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply slide your toddler's feet into the wellies. We recommend wearing comfortable socks, especially in cooler weather, to enhance warmth and comfort. Ensure the fit allows for a little wiggle room without being too loose.
Compatibility
These wellies are designed for toddlers (Unisex) and are suitable for all outdoor, wet-weather activities. They are perfect for children learning to walk and explore, providing protection and stability.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth after each use. For stubborn mud, a mild soap and water solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the natural rubber.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them on direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to dry out, crack, or lose its matt finish.
- Storage: Store the wellies in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Storing them upright helps maintain their shape.
- Addressing 'Blooming': Natural rubber products can occasionally develop a white powdery film, known as 'blooming'. This is a characteristic of high-quality, natural rubber and is not a defect. It can typically be wiped off with a damp cloth or a silicone-based boot buffer if desired.
