The Hunter Original Play Short Boots are engineered to excel in various wet and muddy conditions, making them a practical choice for everyday use. Their 100% waterproof construction ensures your feet remain dry whether you're navigating urban downpours or treading through damp garden paths. The flatter platform sole contributes significantly to comfort, allowing you to wear them for extended periods without discomfort, making them suitable for long walks or standing activities.
For instance, during a wet and muddy walk, the durable moulded outsole provides reliable grip, reducing the risk of slipping. When pottering around in the garden, the robust natural rubber protects against dirt and moisture, while the pull tab makes them easy to slip on and off as you transition from indoors to outdoors. For city walks in the rain, the modern matte black finish and short silhouette offer a chic alternative to traditional wellies, blending seamlessly with urban attire while providing essential weather protection. The recycled polyester lining adds a soft touch inside, improving overall wearing comfort and contributing to the boots' sustainable design ethos.
Using your Hunter Original Play Short Boots is straightforward. Simply slide your foot into the boot, utilizing the pull tab at the back for easier entry. Ensure your socks are comfortable and not bunched up. There's no complex setup required; they're ready to wear straight out of the box.
These boots are designed for adults, specifically as women's footwear (gender: Female) and are available in UK Size 6. Their versatile matte black aesthetic makes them compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, from jeans and leggings to skirts and dresses, suitable for various occasions where waterproof footwear is needed. The recycled polyester lining adds to the comfort, making them suitable for year-round wear, though additional warm socks may be desired in colder climates.
Proper care will ensure your Hunter Play Short Boots maintain their appearance and functionality for years.
Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, clean your boots with cold or lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or stiff brushes as these can damage the natural rubber.
Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources, as extreme heat can dry out and crack the rubber.
Storage: Store boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not fold or crease them.
Addressing Blooming: A white powdery film, known as 'blooming,' can occasionally appear on natural rubber boots. This is normal and not a defect. To restore the shine, wipe the boots with a damp cloth and use a specialist rubber boot care spray (e.g., Hunter Boot Buffer or Silicone Spray).
Inner Lining: For the recycled polyester lining, ensure it's dry before storage to prevent odors.
