FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, your Hunter Original Short Boots are handcrafted from natural rubber and are completely waterproof, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I clean my Hunter boots?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth or rinse with cold water. A mild soap can be used for stubborn dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.

What is 'blooming' and how do I remove it?

Blooming is a natural waxy film that can appear on high-quality rubber. It's not a defect. You can wipe it off with a damp cloth, or use Hunter Boot Buffer or Silicone Spray for a more thorough restoration of the finish.

Can I wear these boots in cold weather?

While waterproof, these boots are not insulated. For warmth in cold temperatures, we recommend wearing thick thermal or wool socks with your boots.

How should I store my Hunter boots?

Store them upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources. This helps prevent the rubber from drying out or creasing.

What size should I choose?

The Hunter Original Short Boot generally fits true to UK size. If you plan to wear very thick socks, you might consider sizing up, but generally, choose your regular UK shoe size.

Troubleshooting

White powdery film on boots ('blooming')

This is a natural process of high-quality rubber. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, use Hunter Boot Buffer or Silicone Spray.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable

Rubber boots require a short break-in period. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, double-check your sizing to ensure it's correct for your foot and sock choice.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, some extremely slippery surfaces (e.g., moss, smooth wet rocks) can still be hazardous. Exercise caution and consider the terrain.

Boots feel cold in winter

These boots are not insulated. For colder weather, wear thick, warm socks, preferably wool or thermal varieties, to enhance warmth.

Cracking or splitting rubber

Ensure boots are stored upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid harsh chemicals for cleaning. If damage occurs, contact Hunter customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Waterproofing: Keeps feet completely dry in wet conditions, perfect for rain or muddy environments.
  • Durable Construction: Handcrafted rubber material ensures long-lasting wear and resilience.
  • Comfortable Fit: Built on the original last for excellent foot comfort, even during extended wear.
  • Iconic Style: Recognizable Hunter design adds a touch of classic British style to any outfit.
  • Easy to Clean: Rubber exterior allows for simple cleaning with water and mild soap.

Cons

  • Not Insulated: The boots do not provide significant insulation, requiring thick socks in colder temperatures.
  • Specific Use: Primarily designed for wet and muddy conditions, less suitable for long walks on dry, hard surfaces.
  • Weight: Being made of solid rubber, they can be heavier than other types of footwear.
  • Breathability: Rubber is not highly breathable, which might cause feet to feel warm in hot weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Hunter Original Short Boots are ready to wear right out of the box! Simply slip them on. For optimal comfort, especially during initial wears, consider pairing them with Hunter boot socks or your preferred thick socks.

Compatibility

  • Socks: For added comfort and warmth, particularly in cooler weather, wear with thick cotton or wool socks. Hunter also offers specialized boot socks designed to fit perfectly.
  • Outfit: These versatile boots pair well with jeans, leggings, raincoats, and outdoor attire. They're designed to be a practical yet stylish addition to your wet-weather wardrobe.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your boots:

  1. Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth or rinse under cold water. Use a mild soap if needed to remove stubborn dirt. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the rubber.
  3. Storage: Store your boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them folded or creased for extended periods can lead to cracking.
  4. "Blooming": Hunter rubber boots are made from natural rubber, and occasionally a white powdery film, known as "blooming," may appear on the surface. This is a characteristic of high-quality, natural rubber and is not a defect. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or treated with Hunter Boot Buffer or Silicone Spray.
