Hunter Original Kids Wellington Boots excel in wet and muddy conditions, making them ideal for school runs on rainy days, splashing in puddles at the park, or navigating muddy trails during family walks. The Original calendered outsole provides dependable traction on slippery surfaces like wet grass or paved paths. The reflective back strap is a key safety feature, improving visibility during overcast days or evening strolls. Their slip-on design encourages independence in children, allowing them to easily get ready for outdoor play. These boots are built to withstand the rigors of active childhood, keeping feet dry and comfortable through countless adventures.
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use. Simply help your child slip-on them on. No lacing or complex adjustments are required.
Compatibility: This specific model is a Hunter Original Kids Welly in Red, suitable for children with a UK shoe size 7. They are designed for unisex use. The knee high shaft offers maximum splash protection.
Care: To ensure longevity and maintain the appearance of your Hunter Wellingtons, follow these simple care steps:
Cleaning: After use, wipe down the rubber exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or fade.
Storage: Store boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for extended periods, you can stuff them lightly with paper to help retain their shape.
Lining Care: The polyester lining can be wiped with a damp cloth if needed. Ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent odors or mildew.
Blooms: Occasionally, you might notice a white powdery film on the rubber surface. This is a natural occurrence called 'blooming,' where insoluble wax particles rise to the surface. It's a characteristic of high-quality natural rubber and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or a specialized Hunter Boot Buffer spray (Info needed: confirm if Boot Buffer is safe for kids' matte finish).
