Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: To wear your Hunter Original Chelsea Boots, simply use the nylon pull-tab at the back to assist in pulling the boot on. The elasticated gussets will stretch to accommodate your foot, providing a snug fit. No lacing or complex adjustments are required.
Compatibility: These boots are designed for general outdoor use in wet and muddy conditions. They pair well with casual attire, suitable for various activities from daily commutes in the rain to gardening or light outdoor excursions. They are compatible with standard sock types; however, for colder weather, consider thicker wool socks for added warmth.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe down your boots with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or mud. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the rubber.
- Blooming: Natural vulcanised rubber can, at times, exhibit a white powdery film, known as 'blooming'. This is a characteristic of high-quality natural rubber and is not a defect. To remove this, use a Hunter Boot Buffer or a silicone-based spray designed for rubber footwear. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, upright, and out of direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the rubber, as this can lead to permanent marks or damage over time.
