Men's Original Chelsea Boots
Size/Fit Summary: True to size, Regular fit which features new engineered improvements. If you are in-between sizes or want to wear a thick sock, it is recommended to size up.
Note: The elastic gusset is not fully waterproof.
The Hunter Original Chelsea Boot has been re-engineered for an improved fit and all-day comfort. A wider ankle circumference, and an increased curve in the heel and around the Achilles tendon delivers an even more comfortable fit. The new and improved Hunter Original Chelsea Boot has an even more optimum fit to maximise all-day comfort. Ready for rain, each boot is handcrafted from natural rubber and vulcanised for superior protection. Retaining the iconic features of a traditional Chelsea, it features elasticated-gussets and has a nylon pull-tab to make stepping into the boot easy. In a classic black matte, these men's waterproof Chelsea's are a wet weather wardrobe essential. We recommend that all Hunter Chelsea boots be worn with Hunter Chelsea socks, which have been technically designed to protect the wearer's skin from contact with rubber in specific areas.

The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
