FAQs

Are these boots true to size?

Yes, Hunter Kids First Boots are generally considered true to size for children. However, it's always recommended to check Hunter's official sizing guide if available, or try them on with typical socks for the best fit.

How do I clean these boots?

To clean, wipe the boots with a damp cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Let them air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.

Can these boots be worn in winter?

These boots are not insulated for extreme cold. For winter wear, we recommend pairing them with thick wool socks or dedicated boot liners to provide extra warmth.

What is 'rubber bloom' and how do I remove it?

Rubber bloom is a white, powdery film that can appear on natural rubber boots. It's a sign of high-quality natural rubber and is not a defect. You can remove it by wiping the boots with a damp cloth or using a specialized rubber boot buffer.

Do these boots have good grip?

Yes, the Hunter Kids First Boots feature a durable outsole designed to provide good traction on wet and muddy surfaces, making them suitable for various outdoor activities.

Are these boots heavy for children?

While made from natural rubber, these boots are designed with children in mind, aiming for a balance between durability and manageability. Most children find them comfortable for play, but they will feel more substantial than regular shoes.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks (not excessively thick). If discomfort persists, re-evaluate the sizing. Hunter boots typically run true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary.

Boots are slipping off the child's feet.

This usually indicates the boots are too large. Try a smaller size or ensure the child is wearing thicker socks to provide a snugger fit. A slightly loose fit is normal for wellington boots, but excessive slipping can cause blisters.

White powdery marks appear on the surface.

This is a natural occurrence called 'rubber bloom' and is common with high-quality natural rubber. It's not a defect. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth or use a specialized rubber boot buffer to restore their original sheen.

Boots have an unpleasant odor.

Ensure boots are thoroughly cleaned and dried after each use. Odor often indicates trapped moisture. Allow them to air out completely, possibly stuffing them with newspaper to absorb internal moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Use

  1. Inspect: Before first use, gently check the boots for any manufacturing imperfections.
  2. Sizing: Ensure the size 12 boot fits comfortably with enough room for socks but not so loose that the foot slips excessively. Hunter boots are generally true to size for children.
  3. Wearing: Simply slide feet into the boots. The wide opening makes them easy for children to put on themselves.

Compatibility

These boots are primarily designed for outdoor use in wet conditions. They pair well with raincoats, waterproof trousers, and general outdoor play clothes. While suitable for various terrains like grass, mud, and pavements, they are not designed for extreme sports or climbing.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the boots with a damp cloth and warm, soapy water after each use to remove mud and dirt. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the natural rubber.
  • Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or discolour over time. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid folding or creasing the boots to maintain their shape and prevent rubber stress.
  • Rubber Bloom: Occasionally, white, powdery marks (known as 'bloom') may appear on the natural rubber surface. This is a normal process for high-quality natural rubber and is not a defect. It can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth or a specialized Hunter Boot Buffer spray.
