Full details
For women seeking stylish and functional footwear for wet weather, the Hunter Original Short Leopard Print Wellingtons offer superior protection and a distinctive animal pattern. While they provide excellent waterproofing, their shorter profile means less coverage compared to tall boots, which might be a consideration for deep puddles or heavy rain.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for deep snow?
While these boots offer good waterproofing, their shorter height may not provide sufficient protection or insulation for deep snow conditions. For heavy snow, taller, insulated boots are generally recommended.
How do I choose the right size?
The boots are described as 'True to size, Regular fit'. If you are between sizes or plan to wear thick socks, it is often recommended to size up for a more comfortable fit.
Can I wear these boots in very hot weather?
The boots are made of natural rubber and have a polyester lining, which can be warm in high temperatures. They are best suited for moderate to cool, wet weather.
How often should I use a rubber care product?
It is recommended to use a rubber care product periodically, especially before long-term storage or if you notice the rubber becoming dry or stiff, to maintain its condition and prevent cracking.
What is the main difference between short and tall Hunter boots?
The primary difference is the height. Short boots offer ankle coverage and a more casual style, while tall boots provide full calf coverage, offering more protection against deeper water and mud.
Are the leopard print details durable?
The animal print pattern is integrated into the boot's design and is generally durable with proper care. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that could potentially affect the print.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. These boots have a regular fit, but if you prefer to wear thick socks, consider sizing up. Use the recommended care products to maintain the rubber's flexibility.
White residue ('blooming') appears on the boots
This is a natural process for natural rubber and does not affect the quality or performance. Apply a rubber care product or silicone spray to restore the sheen and remove the residue.
Water is leaking into the boots
Inspect the boots carefully for any cracks or holes, especially around the seams. If damage is found, consult the warranty information for repair or replacement options. Ensure the boots are clean and dry before storage.
Boots are difficult to remove
Ensure feet are dry. If necessary, gently twist and pull. Using the pull tabs at the top can assist. Avoid excessive force. Consider wearing thinner socks or using a sock liner if frequent difficulty occurs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: Suitable for use in wet, muddy, and moderately cold conditions. They are designed for casual wear and outdoor activities.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with cool, clean water. Use a damp cloth to remove any mud or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the natural rubber.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as this can cause the rubber to crack or perish.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To prevent 'blooming' (a chalky white residue that can appear on natural rubber boots), Hunter recommends applying a rubber care product or using a silicone spray specifically designed for rubber boots after cleaning and before long-term storage.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the boots for any signs of wear or damage. A rubber care product can help maintain the rubber's suppleness and prevent cracking.
