The Hunter Original Short Boots are engineered for optimal performance in wet, muddy, and damp environments. Their primary function is to provide an impermeable barrier against water, making them indispensable for a variety of activities:
Wet Weather Commuting: Ideal for walking to work or running errands on rainy days, ensuring dry feet throughout your journey.
Gardening and Outdoor Chores: Protects your feet from soil, mud, and splashes while tending to your garden or performing yard work.
Festival and Event Wear: A popular choice for outdoor festivals where muddy grounds are common, offering comfort and protection.
Dog Walking: Perfect for daily walks with your pet, regardless of puddles or damp trails.
Light Hiking/Exploration: Suitable for short walks on wet or uneven terrain where full waterproof protection is needed.
Thanks to the vulcanised rubber upper and non-slip rubber outsole with original tread pattern, these boots offer excellent traction and stability on slippery surfaces. The cushioned insole contributes significantly to comfort, allowing for extended wear without excessive fatigue. The shorter boot height (approximately 26cm or 10.25in) provides a balance between protection and maneuverability, making them versatile for various scenarios where full-height wellies might feel restrictive. The matte finish ensures they blend seamlessly with a range of casual and outdoor outfits.
Using your Hunter Original Short Boots is straightforward. Simply put them on as you would any other boot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for comfort and warmth, as these boots are designed to be fully waterproof but do not offer significant insulation on their own.
These boots are compatible with a wide range of casual and outdoor attire. They are particularly well-suited for:
Raincoats and waterproof jackets
Jeans, leggings, or trousers tucked in
Thick socks for added warmth and comfort
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Hunter Original Short Boots:
Cleaning: Wipe clean after each use with a damp cloth. For more stubborn mud or dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the rubber.
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 degrade.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keep them upright to help maintain their shape. For long-term storage, you can stuff them lightly with paper to prevent sagging.
Blooming: Occasionally, a white powdery film called 'blooming' may appear on the rubber surface. This is a natural process where insoluble waxes rise to the surface. It can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth or by using a specialized Hunter Boot Buffer spray for restoration (Info needed: confirm if Hunter Boot Buffer is explicitly recommended).
Avoid Folding: Do not fold or crease the boots during storage, as this can cause permanent damage to the rubber.
