Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your boots:
Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth or rinse under cold water. Use a mild soap if needed to remove stubborn dirt. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the rubber.
Storage: Store your boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them folded or creased for extended periods can lead to cracking.
"Blooming": Hunter rubber boots are made from natural rubber, and occasionally a white powdery film, known as "blooming," may appear on the surface. This is a characteristic of high-quality, natural rubber and is not a defect. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or treated with Hunter Boot Buffer or Silicone Spray.
