FAQs
How do I clean my Hunter Kids First Gloss Wellington Boots?
Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and mud. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. For the gloss finish, you can use a specialized rubber buffer spray.
What is 'bloom' and how do I remove it?
Bloom is a white, powdery film that can appear on natural rubber products. It's harmless and a sign of high-quality rubber. To remove it, wipe the boots with a damp cloth, or use a Hunter Boot Buffer spray to restore the original finish.
Are these boots suitable for winter and cold weather?
These boots provide excellent waterproof protection. For very cold weather, we recommend pairing them with warm, thick socks or specialized boot liners, as they are not insulated for extreme cold on their own.
Are these true to size?
Hunter Kids First boots are designed with a specific fit for toddlers. We recommend checking the Hunter Kids First size guide and measuring your child's foot to ensure the best fit, allowing a little room for socks and growth.
Can older children wear these boots?
These boots are specifically designed with a flatter sole, more rounded foot, and wider leg for toddlers and small children. While they might physically fit, they are not intended for the foot development or comfort needs of older children.
Troubleshooting
White powdery film (bloom) appears on the boots.
This is a natural process for high-quality natural rubber. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean and to restore the shine, use a specialized rubber boot buffer spray or silicone oil, following the product instructions.
Boots feel stiff or have lost their shine.
The rubber might be dry or dirty. Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth. If the stiffness persists or the shine is dull, applying a rubber boot care spray designed for natural rubber can help condition the material and restore its luster.
Scratches or scuffs on the gloss finish.
While durable, the gloss finish can show scuffs from active play. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, specialized rubber repair kits might offer some improvement, though complete restoration of the gloss in affected areas may not be possible.
Boots feel too tight or too loose for my child.
Ensure you have the correct size for your child's feet, allowing a little room for growth and socks. If the size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a more suitable size. Hunter boots are designed for a specific fit for toddlers; confirm your child's age group and foot measurements against sizing guides.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary) 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 dry them near direct heat sources like radiators, fireplaces, or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or degrade.
- Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the rubber.
- Addressing 'Bloom': Natural rubber can sometimes develop a white, powdery film known as 'bloom'. This is a natural process and not a defect. It can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth, or by using a specialized rubber boot buffer spray to restore the gloss.
