These Hunter Original Short Wellies are engineered for optimal performance in a variety of wet and damp conditions. Their waterproof construction makes them indispensable for rainy days, ensuring your feet remain dry whether you're commuting, walking the dog, or attending an outdoor event.
The original calendered outsole provides excellent grip, making them suitable for navigating slippery pavements, muddy trails, and grassy fields. The shorter shaft offers increased flexibility, making them a more comfortable choice for activities requiring more ankle movement than a tall boot might allow, such as gardening, light hikes, or exploring the countryside.
The handcrafted fit and textile lining contribute to overall comfort, allowing for prolonged wear without significant discomfort. The adjustable strap helps secure the boot, preventing debris from entering and ensuring a snug fit that complements various leg sizes. They are a practical and stylish choice for festivals, casual outings in inclement weather, or any situation where reliable foot protection from water and mud is essential.
Using your Hunter Original Short Wellies is straightforward. Simply slide your feet in and adjust the back strap to achieve a comfortable and secure fit around your calf. Ensure you wear appropriate socks for comfort and warmth, especially in cooler temperatures.
These wellies are compatible with a wide range of outdoor and casual attire. They are specifically designed for wet and muddy conditions, making them ideal for:
Rainy day commutes
Gardening and yard work
Dog walking
Outdoor festivals and events
Light hiking on wet trails
Farm and equestrian activities
They are made for adult women and come in a UK size 9 with a red colour.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Hunter wellies:
Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
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 discolour.
Storage: Store your wellies upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the boots.
Addressing Bloom: It's normal for natural rubber wellies to sometimes develop a white, powdery film known as 'bloom'. This is not a defect but a sign of high-quality natural rubber. You can restore the finish using a Hunter rubber boot buffer spray or by wiping with a cloth dampened with olive oil.
