Must look away...</p> <p>I really needed knee-high boots because these will be worn for fishing trips. Last year my mid-calf Bogs filled up with freezing water twice due to poorly estimating water depth! At least they stayed warm due to neoprene, but wet feet while camping is the worst feeling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585503 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 16:03:59 +0000 Aziraphale 585503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>omg Heather, those boots are fantastic!

I only like Hunters that have a little "bloom" on them. I've been cultivating a bloom on mine for three years! Some shoes look better pristine, but Hunter wellies need to look lived-in. </p> <p>But if the bloom gets out of control, I've heard that car tire cleaner works like a charm, for those of you who prefer shiny boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585487 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:25:06 +0000 rachylou 585487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, I need this white film ON my boots. My Hunters are soo shiny, I hate it. But only shiny grey was available.</p> <p>Also, on the subject of rubber boots, my buckles always fall off. I've had the grey hunters only a year, and this past month I ripped one off again. I see other people don't have this problem and their boots are old, old! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585419 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:45:06 +0000 Sarah A 585419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so glad to hear there is a solution for this ad i have the same issues! thanks for posting... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585372 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 07:50:09 +0000 Louise 585372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep totally normal mine do that too. I think it's caused by heat? I've got some Hunter boot protector which I buff on with a damp cloth it takes a while as I have to keep buffing but gets the 'blooming' off eventually x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585331 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 03:56:24 +0000 jayne 585331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah but Hunters are a fashion statement.

I knew there was a word for it. Thanks for the links! They aren't really a fashion statement but I'd like them not to look moldy from the get-go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585231 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:15:58 +0000 Heather 585231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! Vicki! I am crushed that you no longer own your boots.</p> <p>I am in love with mine and I think this waxy film is called "blooming." It wipes right off for me; however, from the Hunter website:</p> <p><a href="http://usa.hunter-boot.com/shop/womens/care-products/all#overlay=product/hunter-boot-buffer" rel="nofollow">http://usa.hunter-boot.com/sho.....oot-buffer</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585108 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 23:02:04 +0000 annagybe 585108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before Hunter came out with that treatment my shoe guy suggested ArmorAll wipes. Probably easier to find in your neck of the woods. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585103 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 22:50:03 +0000 Vicki 585103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I had the same experience with my cute green Hunters, here in So. Cal. and thought it was caused by the heat. They sent me<br /> a new pair, but the same thing happened with the second pair. Bummer! I no longer have the boots, but glad they have a solution for this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585057 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:49:32 +0000 Anonymous 585057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here it is:<br /> <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/product.jsp?icid=&#038;searchType=MAIN&#038;rte=%252Fsearch.jsp%253FNo%253D0%2526Ntt%253Dhunter%2526_requestid%253D21952%2526N%253D0%2526va%253Dt&#038;eItemId=prod117550127&#038;itemId=prod117550127&#038;parentId=&#038;cmCat=search" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/pr.....Cat=search</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585054 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:45:37 +0000 Anonymous 585054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, the manufacturer advises about that sort of thing. They sell a liquid to take it off.<br /> Let me see if I can find it.</p> <p>ETA: To add link from Purse Forum discussing the issue:<br /> <a href="http://forum.purseblog.com/the-glass-slipper/white-marks-on-hunter-wellies-406956.html" rel="nofollow">http://forum.purseblog.com/the.....06956.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585047 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:36:40 +0000 christieanne 585047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe just from the packaging - rubber sort of outgases. Does it wipe off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-film-on-black-rubber-boots#post-585046 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:35:09 +0000 catgirl 585046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I busted out the Hunters which have been in the box since last fall. They have this sort of chalky whiteness on them. Anyone know if that's normal? I'm more worried about waterproof was than looks.... </p>
