FAQs

Are these boots truly 100% waterproof?

Yes, the Hunter Original Short Boots are handcrafted from natural rubber and vulcanised, making them completely waterproof and ideal for wet conditions.

How do I clean my Hunter Short Boots?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use. For maintaining the rubber's condition and shine, use Hunter Boot Shine and Rubber Boot Buffer as directed.

What is 'blooming' and how do I fix it?

Blooming is a natural waxy film that can appear on natural rubber boots. It's not a defect. To remove it and restore the boots' look, use Hunter Boot Buffer.

What is the lining made of?

The lining is made from 100% recycled polyester, providing comfort and a touch of sustainability.

Can I wear these boots in cold weather or snow?

While they are waterproof, these boots are not insulated for extreme cold. For added warmth in colder temperatures, we recommend wearing thick socks. They can be worn in light snow, but for deep snow or ice, specialized snow boots might be more appropriate for insulation and grip.

What is the difference between the 'Short' and 'Tall' Original Hunter Boots?

The 'Short' version offers a lower shaft height, typically reaching mid-calf, providing more flexibility and a lighter feel. The 'Tall' version extends closer to the knee for maximum coverage. Both offer the same waterproof protection and iconic design.

Troubleshooting

White powdery film appears on the boots ('blooming')

This is a natural process for high-quality rubber. Use Hunter Boot Shine and Rubber Boot Buffer to restore the boots' original finish. Apply with a cloth and buff gently.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable

Natural rubber may feel stiff initially. Wear the boots for short periods to break them in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for comfort and fit.

Boots appear dull or lack shine

Over time, the natural rubber can lose its luster. Regular application of Hunter Boot Shine and Rubber Boot Buffer will help maintain their vibrant appearance.

Difficulty putting boots on/taking off

Ensure your socks are smooth and not bunched up. If needed, a boot jack can assist with removal. The shorter height generally makes them easier to manage than tall boots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Waterproofing: Fully sealed design provides complete protection from rain and puddles.
  • Durable Construction: Handcrafted and vulcanised natural rubber offers excellent longevity.
  • Comfortable Interior: 100% recycled polyester lining adds comfort for extended wear.
  • Iconic Design: Recognizable Hunter style in a practical short height.
  • Sustainable Component: Use of recycled polyester lining contributes to environmental responsibility.

Cons

  • Requires Specific Care: Natural rubber needs regular maintenance with specialized products to prevent blooming and maintain appearance.
  • May Feel Stiff Initially: Like most natural rubber boots, they might require a short break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Your Hunter Original Short Boots are designed for immediate use. Simply pull them on over socks. There is no complex setup required. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility

These boots are primarily designed for adult females and are perfectly suited for wet weather conditions including rain, mud, and general damp environments. They pair well with various casual and outdoor attire.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your natural rubber boots.

  1. Cleaning: After use, wipe down your boots with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or mud.
  2. Drying: Allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the rubber.
  3. Preventing Blooming: Natural rubber can sometimes develop a white, powdery film known as 'blooming'. This is a natural process and not a defect. To restore the boots' original sheen and prevent blooming, regularly use Hunter Boot Shine and Rubber Boot Buffer as recommended. Apply the product with a clean cloth and buff gently.
  4. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For best results, store them upright to help maintain their shape.
