FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, these Hunter Original Kids Wellington Boots are handcrafted from natural, fully waterproof rubber, ensuring excellent protection against rain and puddles.
What is the purpose of the reflective back strap?
The reflective back strap is a safety feature designed to increase your child's visibility in low-light conditions, making them more noticeable to others, especially near roads.
How should I clean these wellington boots?
Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild soapy water after use. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these boots suitable for cold weather?
While waterproof, these boots are not insulated. For colder temperatures, it is recommended to pair them with warm, thermal socks to keep your child's feet comfortable.
Is 'blooming' on the rubber normal?
Yes, 'blooming' (a white powdery film) can sometimes appear on natural rubber boots. This is a natural process and not a defect. It can be wiped away with a damp cloth or a specialist rubber boot buffer.
Are these boots vegan?
Yes, the Hunter Original Kids Wellington Boots are made without any animal-derived materials and are considered vegan-friendly.
What size are these boots?
This specific product is the Hunter Original Kids Wellington Boots in UK Children's size 5.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the correct size has been chosen. While UK size 5 is specified, foot sizes vary. Try thinner socks or ensure the foot isn't bunched up inside. If discomfort persists, the size may be incorrect.
The matte finish looks dull or dirty.
Regularly clean the boots with a damp cloth and mild soap. For a refreshed look and to address 'blooming' (white residue from natural rubber), consider using a Hunter boot care product designed for matte finishes.
Child is slipping on wet surfaces.
Check the outsole for any accumulated mud or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the tread is clear. While the boots have a slip-resistant sole, extreme slippery conditions still require caution.
Boots are difficult for my child to put on or take off.
Ensure the boots are fully dry inside. Encourage the child to hold onto the top edge of the boot while sliding their foot in. For removal, teaching them to use one foot to press down on the heel of the other boot can help, or adult assistance may be needed for younger children.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Hunter Kids Wellington Boots:
- Cleaning: After use, especially after exposure to mud or dirt, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used on the sole.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the rubber.
- Storage: Store boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not fold or crease the boots.
- Bloom: Hunter rubber products may sometimes develop a white, powdery 'bloom'. This is a natural process of high-quality rubber and is not a defect. It can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth, or by using a specialist Hunter boot buffer spray.
