These
boots are fabulous. They do run a good 1/2 size large, probably more if your feet are narrow. Before purchasing these stylish
boots, I read the other reviews, and saw the complaints about the discoloration of white residue. I own other
Hunter Boots, and the whitish discoloration is normal, if you don't clean the
boots. The discoloration is easy to eliminate and prevent! These
boots are too good to be misunderstood. Please purchase the
Hunter Brand spray bottle of Boot Buffer liquid, and the Instant Shine buffer. These two products easily clean off the whitish residue, and your
boots will polish to a high gloss sheen. I keep a soft terrycloth towel that is dedicated to polishing my other
Hunter Boots. I've learned that if I simply polish the
boots with the soft towel the moment the shine diminishes, the residue never builds up. My first pair of
Hunter Boots were purchased in 2009. They are as shiny black today as the day I bought them. I live in New York City, so the
boots get a lot of wear in the winter. My new and stylish
Hunter Arnie
boots arrived today. I ordered black. They came out of the box absolutely gray from the residue. I did have to apply some elbow grease, Boot Buffer spray and Instant Boot Shine. And my trusty soft terrycloth towel. With little effort, my Arnie's are now beautiful and shiny. I can't wait to wear them tomorrow!
