FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the rounder foot design and flexible nature of the rubber accommodate wider foot shapes better than traditional rigid boots.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, never put rubber boots in the washing machine. Clean them by hand using water and a mild soap if necessary.
What does natural vulcanised rubber mean?
It is a process that strengthens the rubber to make it more durable, waterproof, and resistant to environmental wear.
Are these boots unisex?
Yes, the Hunter First Classic line is designed as a neutral, unisex style suitable for all children.
How often should I clean the boots?
It is best to wipe off mud and dirt after every outdoor use to prevent abrasive particles from damaging the rubber finish.
Troubleshooting
White marks appearing on the rubber surface
This is called blooming. Use a damp cloth to wipe the boots clean, or apply a rubber conditioner specifically designed for boots.
Difficult to pull on or off
Ensure the child is wearing thin cotton socks and check that no debris is inside the boot; the soft lining should allow for a smooth fit if sized correctly.
Boots feel slippery on certain surfaces
While the tread pattern is designed for standard outdoor surfaces, always monitor children on smooth, wet tiles or polished indoor surfaces where rubber may not have grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are handcrafted from natural rubber, they may occasionally develop a white powdery appearance known as 'blooming,' which is a normal occurrence where oils rise to the surface. To care for your Hunter Wellingtons, wipe them down with a damp cloth after every use. For deeper cleaning or to restore the matte finish, use a dedicated rubber cleaner. Store these boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the rubber from cracking or warping.
