Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Hunter Original Tall Wellington Boots require no assembly. Simply unbox, put them on, and you're ready to brave the elements.
Compatibility
- Sizing: This specific pair is UK size 6 and designed for adult wearers. Always consult the Hunter official sizing guide for precise measurements if you are unsure.
- Socks: For optimal comfort and warmth, particularly in cooler weather, wearing thick socks with your boots is recommended. This can also help with fit if you are between sizes.
- Fit: Ensure a comfortable fit that allows for some movement of your toes without being too loose or tight. The polyester lining will provide a smooth feel against your leg.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Hunter boots:
- Cleaning: After use, clean your boots with cold or lukewarm water and a mild, non-detergent soap. Use a cloth or soft brush to remove mud and dirt. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the rubber.
- Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources, as extreme heat can cause the rubber to crack or warp.
- Storage: Store your boots upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Storing them folded or creased can lead to permanent damage.
- "Blooming": A white powdery film (known as 'blooming') may appear on the rubber surface. This is a natural process for high-quality natural rubber. It can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth. For a more thorough restoration, consider using a specialized Hunter Rubber Buffer spray.
- Avoid Solvents: Keep boots away from oils, solvents, or petrol-based products, which can degrade the rubber.
