Getting started with your Hunter Original Short Wellington Boots is simple:
Select Appropriate Socks: For comfort and warmth (if needed), wear socks that extend above the top of the boot to prevent rubbing.
Slide On: Gently slide your feet into the boots. The polyester lining will aid in a smooth entry.
Adjust: Ensure a comfortable fit around your foot and ankle.
Clothing: These boots pair well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, leggings, waterproof trousers, and skirts/dresses.
Weather Conditions: Primarily designed for wet, rainy, and muddy conditions. They are not insulated for extreme cold but provide excellent waterproofing.
Terrain: Suitable for urban environments, country paths, parks, and fields.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your natural rubber boots:
Cleaning: After each use, especially if dirty, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and warm, soapy water. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (radiators, fires) or in direct sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the rubber.
Storage: Store your boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them folded or creased can lead to permanent marks or cracks.
Addressing 'Blooming': "Blooming" is a common phenomenon in high-quality, natural rubber boots, where a white, powdery film appears on the surface. This is not a defect but a release of insoluble wax particles. It can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth or by using a dedicated Hunter Boot Buffer spray to restore the shine.
