Hunter Original Chelsea Boots - Green - Size UK 3

Yes, the Hunter Original Chelsea Boots are handcrafted from natural vulcanized rubber, making them 100% waterproof for superior protection against rain and wet conditions.

To clean your boots, wipe them down with a damp cloth and lukewarm water. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Vulcanization is a chemical process that cures rubber, making it more durable, resilient, and resistant to water, heat, and cold. This process enhances the protective qualities of your Hunter boots.

These boots are designed with an 'optimum fit' to maximize all-day comfort. While natural rubber can feel different from other materials, they are built for extended wear, especially once broken in.

The boots provide waterproof protection, but they do not offer significant insulation against extreme cold. The polyester lining provides basic comfort. For very cold temperatures, we recommend wearing thick, insulating socks.

The Hunter Original Chelsea Boots feature a polyester lining for added comfort.

Hunter boots typically run true to size. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider ordering the next size up, especially if you plan to wear thick socks. (Info needed: add a specific sizing recommendation if available from Hunter).

This is a natural process unique to high-quality rubber, known as 'blooming'. It's not a defect. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth. For a more thorough restoration of the matte finish, a specialized rubber buffer product (e.g., Hunter Boot Buffer) can be used. (Info needed: confirm official Hunter care product for bloom).

New natural rubber boots may feel a little stiff at first. Wear them for short periods to break them in, and they will gradually soften and conform to your foot shape for enhanced comfort. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Ensure your socks are smooth and not bunched up. Use the nylon pull-tab at the back and gently pull the elasticated gussets to widen the opening. If your feet are wet, dry them first to reduce friction.

Cracking or discolouration often occurs due to exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, or harsh chemicals. Always store your boots in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and direct sun. Clean only with mild soap and water. If damage is significant, contact customer service.
