FAQs

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

Measure your child's foot from heel to longest toe. Compare this measurement to Hunter's size guide. It's often recommended to allow a small amount of extra room for comfort and potential growth, especially if they will be wearing thicker socks.

Are these boots insulated for cold weather or snow?

The Hunter Original First Kids Wellington Boots are fully waterproof, but they are not insulated. For colder temperatures or snow, we recommend pairing them with warm, thermal socks to provide extra warmth.

Can these boots be worn for activities other than walking?

Yes, these boots are highly versatile for various outdoor activities such as gardening, playing in parks, camping, and exploring muddy terrains. Their durable construction and grip soles make them suitable for most active outdoor play.

How often should I clean the boots?

It's best to clean the boots after each use, especially if they are muddy or dirty. This prevents dirt from drying and becoming harder to remove, and helps maintain the rubber's integrity.

What is the adjustable strap for?

The adjustable strap on the shaft of the boot allows you to tighten or loosen the fit around your child's calf. This helps to keep the boot snug, prevent water ingress, and accommodate different leg sizes or trouser thicknesses.

Are these boots made from natural rubber?

Yes, Hunter Original First Kids Wellington Boots are crafted from high-quality natural vulcanized rubber, providing excellent flexibility, durability, and waterproof properties. Please note that natural rubber contains latex.

My child has wide feet; will these boots fit?

Hunter Original First boots generally offer a comfortable, regular fit. The flexible nature of natural rubber and the wide opening typically accommodate most foot widths. If your child has exceptionally wide feet, trying them on or consulting a size chart with width measurements (if available) is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your child's foot. Consider the thickness of socks your child will wear. If between sizes, it's often better to size up slightly to allow for growth or thicker socks.

Boots appear dull or have a white powdery film (blooming)

This is a natural occurrence called 'blooming' with natural rubber. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. For a restored finish, use a Hunter Rubber Boot Buffer or a silicone-based spray designed for rubber footwear.

Child struggles to walk comfortably in the boots

First, verify the size. If the boots are too large, they can be cumbersome. If the size is correct, encourage your child to wear them for short periods around the house to get accustomed to the weight and feel. Ensure socks are not bunched up, which can cause discomfort.

Cons

  • Seasonal Use: Primarily designed for wet and cooler weather; may be too warm in hot climates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Hunter Original First Kids Wellington Boots is straightforward. Simply slide your child's foot into the boot. We recommend trying them on with the type of socks your child will typically wear with them (e.g., standard or thicker socks for cooler weather) to ensure the best fit. The wide opening and pull tabs are designed for easy entry, allowing children to pull them on themselves.

Compatibility

These boots are Unisex and compatible with a wide range of outdoor children's clothing. They are available in various Kids' UK sizes, from toddlers through to older children, ensuring a good fit as your child grows. The classic black color also makes them highly versatile for pairing with any outfit.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Hunter wellington boots:

  1. Cleaning: After use, especially if muddy, rinse the boots with clean water. You can use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them on direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or degrade.
  3. Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them folded or creased can lead to permanent marks or damage to the rubber.
  4. Blooming: Occasionally, you might notice a white powdery film on the rubber. This is a natural process called 'blooming' and is common with high-quality natural rubber. It does not affect the performance or durability of the boots. This bloom can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, and specialized Hunter boot buffers or sprays are available to restore the original shine if desired.
