Details include a smooth shiny Gloss finish, multi layered and cushioned insole, traditional calendered sole crafted from a natural rubber with a vulcanised rubber upper. The boot is finished off with the Hunter branding on the front and single side buckle detailing on the outer. They are perfect boots for rainy days as well as summer.
