HUNTER boots are made of natural rubber, all parts are assembled and soldered almost always only by hand. They are always produced using only natural materials, so their cost is fully justified. When trying on, you must consider the logo. In the original, the name of the brand HUNTER is inscribed in black capital letters in a white rectangle.

The name of the company HUNTER is always placed on a silver buckle attached to the strap. Regardless of the type and size of the boot, the sole of all products is made out in the same pattern: treads and zigzags applied to reduce slipping on wet and smooth surfaces.
