Hunter FAQ's

Are Hunter wellies true to size?

Hunter products generally run accurately, though fit varies slightly between styles. Most designs fit well at your regular size, with room for thick socks during colder months. If between sizes, stay with your usual size rather than sizing down, as Hunter footwear is designed to accommodate hosiery. Check individual product descriptions for style-specific guidance, particularly for Chelsea or ankle boot designs which may fit differently than tall options.

Are Hunter wellies worth it?

Hunter footwear represents a premium investment justified by several factors. The brand's recognition demonstrates excellence in craftsmanship and quality standards. Hunter products use durable natural materials that withstand years of wear, making them more cost-effective long-term than cheaper alternatives requiring frequent replacement. The construction genuinely shields in heavy rain and deep water, while cushioned footbeds provide lasting support. Hunter's reputation—built over 168 years—reflects consistent performance and durability.

How to clean Hunter wellies?

Cleaning Hunter footwear maintains appearance and extends lifespan. Rinse boots with cold water to remove mud and dirt, using a soft brush for stubborn marks. Avoid hot water, which can damage materials. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap or Hunter's boot buffer, applying gently with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat because radiators and hairdryers can cause damage and cracking. Once dry, apply Hunter Boot Shine or conditioner to restore lustre and protect materials. For specialized cleaning products, explore our shoe care range designed for maintenance.

Where are Hunter wellies manufactured?

Hunter originated in Scotland in 1856 and maintained UK manufacturing for over a century.

Despite the manufacturing location change, Hunter products continue to uphold the brand's reputation for durability and performance. The materials, construction methods, and quality control processes preserve the heritage design and functionality. All Hunter products, regardless of manufacturing location, meet the exacting standards required to maintain the brand's prestigious status.
