FAQs

Are these boots suitable for extreme cold weather?

These boots are primarily designed for waterproof protection and durability in wet conditions. While they offer some insulation due to the rubber material, they are not specifically designed for extreme cold. For very cold temperatures, we recommend pairing them with warm, insulated socks or considering boots specifically designed for winter conditions.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

We recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to the Hunter size chart. It's often helpful to allow a little extra room for growth or thicker socks, but avoid sizing up too much, as overly large boots can be uncomfortable and cause tripping.

Can these boots be used for everyday wear?

While durable enough for daily use, these boots are best suited for outdoor activities, especially in wet or muddy conditions. For prolonged indoor wear or activities requiring more breathability, other types of footwear might be more appropriate.

Do these boots come with a warranty?

> Info needed: Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official warranty information for details on coverage and duration.

How do I clean the inside of the boots if they get dirty?

For general cleaning, simply wipe the inside lining with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry thoroughly before next use to prevent odor and mildew. For stubborn dirt, a diluted disinfectant spray designed for footwear can be used.

Are the reflective details permanent?

Yes, the reflective details are integrated into the boot's design and are durable. However, regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain their effectiveness over time.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp or wet inside the boots.

Check the boot for any visible tears or punctures. Ensure pant legs or rain gear are properly tucked into or draped over the boot opening to prevent water from running inside. Verify that the correct size is being worn to prevent water ingress from the top.

Boots are difficult to put on or take off.

Ensure socks are smooth and not bunched up. Utilize the pull tabs located at the top of the boot to assist in pulling them on. When removing, push down on the heel of one boot with the toe of the other (if old enough) or assist by pulling from the top while the child wiggles their foot.

Boots feel uncomfortable or rub.

Ensure the correct size has been purchased; boots that are too small or too large can cause discomfort. Try different types of socks, such as thicker ones for cushioning or moisture-wicking ones. Utilize the adjustable strap to optimize the fit around the calf area.

Soles seem slippery on certain surfaces.

While designed with slip-resistant soles, extreme conditions like ice or very slick moss can still pose a risk. Regularly clean the soles to remove trapped mud or debris that could reduce traction. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; if worn smooth, the grip will be reduced.

White powdery film appears on the rubber surface (blooming).

This is a natural process called 'blooming' that can occur with high-quality natural rubber and is not a defect. It can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean and to restore the finish, use a Hunter Boot Buffer or silicone spray specifically designed for rubber footwear.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Hunter Original First Boots, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials that could damage the rubber.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not dry them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or warp.
  3. Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for extended periods, consider stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape.
  4. Polish (Optional): For occasional shine and protection, you can use a silicone boot buffer or a Hunter-specific boot care product designed for rubber.
  5. Avoid Solvents: Do not use oil-based sprays or polishes, as these can damage the rubber finish.
