Hunter Original Chelsea Boots - Navy - UK 7

Hunter Original Chelsea Boots are waterproof and offer good traction for wet conditions. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold or deep snow. For optimal warmth in snowy conditions, we recommend wearing thick thermal socks or considering insulated winter boots.

Gently brush off dried mud with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid excessive scrubbing, which could damage the elastic fibers. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

These boots are designed for light outdoor activities and urban environments, offering protection from rain and mud. For serious hiking or uneven terrains, we recommend specialized hiking boots that provide superior ankle support and rugged traction.

Vulcanised rubber is a natural rubber that has been treated with sulfur and heat to improve its strength, elasticity, and durability. This process makes the boots highly resistant to water and wear.

Generally, Hunter Original Chelsea Boots fit true to size. If you are between sizes or plan to wear very thick socks, it might be beneficial to consider the next half size up, if available, or the next full size up. Please refer to Hunter's official sizing guide for precise measurements.

The matte finish is durable, but natural rubber can develop a white powdery film, known as 'blooming,' over time. This is normal and can be easily removed and restored using a Hunter Rubber Buffer spray or a similar product designed for natural rubber footwear.

Being made from natural vulcanised rubber, these boots have a moderate weight, typical for durable waterproof footwear. They are designed for comfort during daily wear without being excessively heavy.

This is a natural process for high-quality natural rubber. Use a Hunter Rubber Buffer or silicone spray specifically designed for rubber boots to restore the original finish. Wipe clean with a soft cloth.

Natural rubber needs time to soften and mold to your feet. Wear them for short periods around the house or on short errands. The polyester lining will also become more comfortable with use.

Ensure you are using both the front and rear nylon pull-tabs. Slightly twist your foot as you slide it in or out to assist with entry/exit, allowing the elastic gussets to stretch effectively.

While the outsole is designed for non-slip traction, extreme conditions like ice or heavily oiled surfaces can still be hazardous. Exercise caution and consider additional traction aids if needed for such environments.
