FAQs
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
While they offer excellent waterproofing for wet terrain, their primary design is for general outdoor use. For strenuous hiking with significant elevation changes, a dedicated hiking boot might offer better support and breathability.
How do I clean the inside of the boots?
The inside can be wiped with a damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before wearing again to prevent discomfort.
Can I wear these in very cold weather?
The boots themselves offer minimal insulation. For cold weather, it is recommended to wear thick, warm socks or consider Hunter's thermal boot socks.
What is the warranty on Hunter boots?
Hunter Original boots typically come with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Hunter website for the most current warranty information.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The boots are designed to be worn with socks. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to size up to accommodate thicker socks and ensure a comfortable fit.
What is the difference between Original Tall and other Hunter models?
The Original Tall is the classic, full-height boot. Other models like the Play boot or Short boot offer different heights and fits, catering to various preferences and uses.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the rubber to soften and conform to your feet. Consider wearing thicker socks.
Difficulty removing boots
Ensure the polyester lining is dry. Gently twist and pull the boot. Using a boot jack can help.
White residue on rubber (blooming)
This is a normal characteristic of natural rubber and does not affect performance. Wipe with a damp cloth or use a Hunter Rubber Boot Buffer.
Dirt or mud on boots
Clean with cold water and a soft brush or sponge. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
