FAQs
How do I choose the right size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the Hunter size chart. It's often beneficial to allow a small amount of extra room for growing feet and thicker socks, but avoid sizing up too much, which can cause tripping.
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather or snow?
While waterproof, these boots are not insulated for extreme cold. For colder temperatures or snow, we recommend pairing them with warm, thermal socks. For sustained cold exposure, consider specially insulated footwear.
How should I clean and care for these boots?
Wipe off dirt and mud with a damp cloth immediately after use. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Store them upright in a cool, dry place. A white powdery film, known as 'bloom', can be wiped off with a damp cloth and treated with a rubber boot buffer.
What is the material of the boots?
These Hunter Original Wellington Boots are handcrafted, and typically made from natural rubber for the waterproof exterior, featuring a comfortable textile lining (Polyester) on the inside.
Can these boots be worn all day?
These boots are designed for outdoor activities and protection from wet weather. While comfortable for extended play, for all-day wear, especially indoors, children's regular shoes might offer better breathability. Ensure your child's feet remain comfortable and dry.
Do these boots have good grip?
Yes, the boots feature Hunter's original calendered outsole, which is designed to provide reliable grip and traction on various wet and slippery surfaces like mud and wet grass. Always exercise caution on extremely slick surfaces like ice.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable for my child.
Ensure you have the correct size. Wellington boots should have a bit of room for movement, but not be excessively large. Wearing a thicker pair of socks can add cushioning and warmth, improving comfort.
A white powdery film has appeared on the boots.
This is a natural process called 'bloom' on natural rubber. It's harmless. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean and to restore shine, a dedicated rubber boot buffer or silicone spray can be used.
My child's feet still feel damp after wearing the boots.
Check for any small punctures or tears in the boot material. Also, ensure that water isn't entering from the top opening, especially during deep puddle splashing. Wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks can help manage internal moisture.
The boots have lost their original sheen or look dull.
The matte finish is designed to be low-sheen. If you desire to restore a fresher look or deeper color, clean the boots thoroughly and consider using a rubber boot conditioner or silicone spray, following the product's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Getting your child ready for adventure is simple. The boots are designed for easy pull-on. Encourage your child to pull the boots on, ensuring their foot slides comfortably to the front, and the heel settles into place. Make sure to wear suitable socks; thicker socks can add comfort and help fill any minor sizing gaps.
Compatibility
These Hunter Original Wellington Boots are designed for general outdoor use in wet and muddy conditions. They are ideal for:
- Puddle Jumping: Fully waterproof to keep feet dry.
- Muddy Walks: Excellent traction from the calendered outsole.
- Rainy Day Play: Protection from rain and splashes.
- Gardening/Outdoor Chores: Keeping feet clean and dry.
While they offer excellent protection against water, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold or snow. For very cold temperatures, pairing them with warm, thermal socks is recommended.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your boots:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe any dirt or mud off with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Always allow the boots to dry completely 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 discolour.
- Storage: Store boots upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Storing them folded or creased for long periods can lead to permanent marks or cracks.
- Bloom: A white powdery film, known as 'bloom', may appear on natural rubber boots. This is a common process with high-quality rubber and is not a defect. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and, if desired, treated with a silicone boot spray or Hunter Boot Buffer to restore the finish.
