Using your Hunter Original Short Gloss Wellington Boots is straightforward:
Socks: For optimal comfort and to prevent rubbing, wear appropriate socks. Cotton or wool socks are generally recommended. For colder weather, consider thicker thermal socks.
Putting On: Simply slide your feet into the boots. Ensure your heel is properly seated.
These boots are designed for adult females and are sized according to UK shoe sizes. They are compatible with most casual and outdoor clothing, providing reliable wet-weather protection.
Proper care is crucial to maintain the appearance and longevity of your natural rubber boots, especially their glossy finish:
Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy or dirty, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid using harsh detergents, solvents, or brushes that could damage the rubber or gloss finish.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, open fires, or in direct sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the natural rubber.
Preventing 'Blooming': Natural rubber boots can occasionally develop a white powdery film, known as 'bloom'. This is a harmless process where insoluble particles rise to the surface and is a sign of high-quality natural rubber. To remove bloom and restore the gloss, use a Hunter Boot Buffer spray or a silicone-based rubber boot care product. A small amount of olive oil applied with a soft cloth can also temporarily restore shine.
Storage: Store your boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid folding or creasing the boots for extended periods.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not expose your boots to oils, solvents, or acids, as these can degrade the natural rubber.
