FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Hunter Original boots are generally described as having a regular fit. If you typically require a wider fit, consider trying them on or checking reviews for specific feedback on width.
How do I clean the leopard print pattern?
Clean the exterior with clean water and a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the print or the rubber.
Can I wear these boots in very cold weather?
These boots provide good protection against water but are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, consider wearing thick wool socks or adding insulated boot liners.
What is the difference between Original Short and Original Tall boots?
The Original Short boots have a lower cut around the ankle and calf, offering more versatility and ease of wear. The Original Tall boots provide higher coverage for more extensive protection against deep water and mud.
How durable is the natural rubber construction?
The natural rubber is durable and handcrafted for longevity, but like all natural rubber products, it requires proper care and maintenance to prevent damage from UV light, oils, and prolonged heat.
What is the warranty period for Hunter boots?
Hunter typically offers a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It is recommended to check the official Hunter website or the retailer's policy for the most current warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or look chalky.
This is natural rubber bloom. Restore shine and suppleness using Hunter Boot Shine or Instant Boot Buffer. Ensure the boots are clean and dry before applying.
Water appears to be leaking.
Inspect the boots carefully for any visible holes or cracks. Minor damage can sometimes be repaired with appropriate rubber repair kits, but significant damage may require replacement.
Difficulty removing boots.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks, as they can help with grip. If the boots are new, they may require a short break-in period. Avoid pulling solely on the boot shaft; use the heel to help slide the foot out.
Inner lining feels damp after wear.
This is usually due to perspiration. Ensure the boots are properly dried after each use by air drying away from heat and stuffing with newspaper if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These boots require no setup beyond being ready to wear. They are compatible with standard sock wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After wear, rinse the boots with clean water to remove mud and debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any remaining dirt. Never use silicone sprays or polishes, as they can interfere with the vulcanisation process.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain the boot's shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged contact with solvents, oils, and greases.
- Restoring Shine: If the rubber appears to be developing a white, chalky film (bloom), this is a natural process for natural rubber. You can restore the shine by using Hunter Boot Shine or Instant Boot Buffer. Do not use these products on the boots' internal lining.
