The Hunter Original Short Wellington Boots are designed for versatile outdoor use in wet environments. Their handcrafted waterproof rubber construction makes them perfect for everyday tasks like walking the dog through damp fields, light gardening, or commuting on rainy city streets. The original calendered outsole provides reliable grip, reducing the risk of slips on wet pavements, muddy paths, and slick surfaces. The adjustable strap allows for a customized fit, ensuring comfort whether you're wearing thin socks or thicker ones. Because they are vegan, these boots appeal to a broad range of users. Their mid-calf height offers a good balance between protection and ease of movement, making them less cumbersome than full-height wellies while still guarding against splashes and puddles. The polyester lining adds a layer of comfort against the skin. These boots excel in scenarios where you need dependable waterproof protection without the bulk of a taller boot, maintaining the iconic Hunter style.
Using your Hunter Original Short Wellington Boots is straightforward:
Socks: For optimal comfort, wear appropriate socks. Hunter recommends wearing dedicated Wellington boot socks, especially in colder weather, to wick away moisture and provide cushioning.
Putting On: Slide your foot into the boot. If needed, use the back loop to assist.
Adjust Fit: Use the adjustable buckle strap to secure the boot comfortably around your calf. Ensure it's snug but not too tight.
These boots are compatible with various outdoor activities and apparel. They pair well with:
Outdoor clothing: Raincoats, waterproof trousers.
Casual wear: Jeans, leggings for rainy day outfits.
Hunter Boot Socks: Enhance warmth and prevent rubbing.
Proper care extends the life of your Hunter boots:
Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or discolour.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep them upright to maintain their shape. If storing for extended periods, consider using boot trees to prevent creasing.
Bloom: White powdery 'bloom' can appear on natural rubber boots. This is a common and characteristic phenomenon of high-quality rubber, caused by insoluble waxes rising to the surface. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or a Hunter Boot Buffer spray for restoration.
