FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, these Hunter Original Kids Wellington Boots are handcrafted from natural rubber, making them completely waterproof, perfect for keeping feet dry in puddles and wet conditions.
What is the reflective back strap for?
The reflective back strap is a safety feature designed to increase your child's visibility in low-light conditions, such as dusk or cloudy days.
How should I clean these boots?
Wipe the rubber exterior with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. If the textile lining gets wet, ensure it dries completely to prevent odours. A white powdery film (bloom) is natural and can be wiped away.
Are these boots suitable for all seasons?
While waterproof for wet conditions, their rubber construction offers limited insulation. For colder weather, we recommend pairing them with warm, thick socks. They are generally comfortable in mild to cool temperatures.
Are these boots vegan?
Yes, the Hunter Original Kids Wellington Boots are explicitly stated as vegan, meaning they are made without any animal-derived materials.
What is the 'original calendered outsole'?
The original calendered outsole refers to the unique tread pattern on the sole. It is specifically designed to provide enhanced grip and slip resistance on wet and uneven surfaces.
My child is between sizes. Should I size up or down?
Hunter boots generally fit true to size. If your child is between sizes, consider sizing up to allow for growth and thicker socks, especially since these boots are a pull-on style without adjustable closures.
Troubleshooting
My child's feet feel damp inside after playing.
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate moisture-wicking or absorbent socks. After use, allow the boots to air dry thoroughly, especially the polyester lining, by keeping them open. Check for any small punctures or damage to the rubber upper if the issue persists.
The boots appear to have a white, powdery residue.
This is a natural process called 'blooming' that occurs with high-quality natural rubber. It's not a defect. Simply wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, specialized rubber boot care sprays or wipes can be used.
My child finds the boots heavy or clunky.
The boots are made from durable rubber, contributing to their weight (1.76 KG). While designed for comfort, for very small children or those new to wellington boots, the weight might take some getting used to. Ensure the size is correct; oversized boots can feel clunkier. Encourage short periods of wear initially.
The boots are hard to get on or off.
As a pull-on style, ensure your child's foot is properly aligned. Wearing thin socks can sometimes make them easier to slide on. For removal, gently pull from the heel while the child steps out, or use a boot jack for older children.

Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hunter Wellington Boots, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the rubber exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- 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.
- Lining: If the textile lining gets damp, pull the boot open slightly to allow for better airflow and ensure it dries completely to prevent odours.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them upright helps maintain their shape.
- Bloom: A white powdery film known as 'bloom' may appear on the rubber. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality rubber and can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth or a silicone-based rubber boot buffer.
