HUNTER BOOTS First - Blue - 6

These Hunter Kids First Original Wellington Boots are specifically designed for toddlers, with features tailored for their comfort and foot development.

Yes, they are handcrafted from natural vulcanised rubber and are 100% waterproof, ensuring your child's feet stay completely dry.

Absolutely. They are built on a comfy orthopaedic last with a flatter sole and rounder toe to allow natural foot movement, and feature a soft polyester lining for added comfort.

The upper is made from natural vulcanised rubber, the sole is rubber, and the lining is polyester. They are also vegan-friendly.

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat or sunlight. Store them upright in a cool, dry place. A white 'bloom' is natural and can be wiped away.

Yes, they feature a specially developed tread designed to reduce slipping and provide better grip on various surfaces.

Yes, the design allows for comfortable wear with standard socks. For colder weather, you can certainly pair them with thicker wool or thermal socks, but ensure the boots are sized appropriately to accommodate them without being too tight.

An orthopaedic last refers to the foot-shaped mould used during construction. In these boots, it means the shape is designed to provide optimal support, comfort, and promote healthy foot development for young children.

Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick or bunched up). A thin layer of talcum powder inside the boot can also help feet slide in and out more easily. For very young children, consistent practice and gentle assistance will help.

First, ensure the boots are 100% waterproof by checking for any visible damage. It's more likely that perspiration is causing dampness; ensure your child is wearing breathable socks made from cotton or wool, and avoid synthetic materials that trap moisture. Also, check if water is entering from the top if splash guards or rain pants are not used in very deep puddles.

This is a common, natural process in high-quality natural rubber and is not a defect. It can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth. For a more thorough restoration of the matte finish, specialist rubber boot care products (e.g., Hunter Boot Buffer) can be used, following their instructions.

While the boots have a slip-resistant tread, no shoe is entirely slip-proof. Ensure the sole is clean and free of mud or debris that could reduce grip. Advise the child to walk carefully on extremely slick or icy surfaces.

Natural rubber products often have a distinct smell when new. This typically dissipates over time with airing. Store the boots in a well-ventilated area when not in use.
