Setup
Your Hunter Original Short Boots are ready to wear right out of the box! Simply slip them on. For optimal comfort, especially during initial wears, consider pairing them with Hunter boot socks or your preferred thick socks.
Compatibility
- Socks: For added comfort and warmth, particularly in cooler weather, wear with thick cotton or wool socks. Hunter also offers specialized boot socks designed to fit perfectly.
- Outfit: These versatile boots pair well with jeans, leggings, raincoats, and outdoor attire. They're designed to be a practical yet stylish addition to your wet-weather wardrobe.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your boots:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth or rinse under cold water. Use a mild soap if needed to remove stubborn dirt. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the rubber.
- Storage: Store your boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them folded or creased for extended periods can lead to cracking.
- "Blooming": Hunter rubber boots are made from natural rubber, and occasionally a white powdery film, known as "blooming," may appear on the surface. This is a characteristic of high-quality, natural rubber and is not a defect. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or treated with Hunter Boot Buffer or Silicone Spray.
