These boots are the best rain boots out there. I know they may seem really expensive; however, they are definitely worth it. I've gone through a couple pairs of rain boots while being in college and it's safe to say that these boots are a good investment. They are comfortable, durable, and high enough so that rain doesn't get in between your jeans and the boot itself. They run true to size and are not too narrow, an issue I had with a previous pair of rain boots. They look and fit great with leggings, skinny jeans, and you could also wear them with shorts, but I would suggest wearing high socks underneath so that they're not pressed right up against your skin. Everyone should have this rain boot!

I normally wear an 9, but after reading the reviews I ended up ordering these in an 8. They just felt a little to snug and no room if I wanted to wear really thick socks. I emailed Zappos' customer service because I had lost my invoice, and magically a bigger size was on its way. I got the size 9 before I could even send the old pair back. And the 9 feels so much better, nice and roomy.

These are the best wellies I have ever seen! They are nothing like the cheaper ones found in local stores. They were a Christmas gift for my daughter who lived in Northern Ireland on a dairy farm. She knows what real wellies are, and she loved these!

I am absolutely in love with my Hunter rain boots. They are extremely durable. I normally wear a size 9, 9 1/2, or 10 shoe depending on how it is made. I originally purchased the boot in size 9 but it was too tight so I had to exchange it for a size 10. It fits much better but a 9 1/2 would have been ideal. It would be really helpful to have half sizes. In spite of this I love the boots and would highly recommend them!

I recently ordered the dark olive wellies in the 9 because I wear an 8.5-9 in most shoes/boots. Had to send them back because they were too loose in the ankle area & I could feel my heel rubbing. The return process was a breeze & it didn't take long at all to credit my account & order my new size. The 8's are a perfect fit even with the Hunter fleece socks which are great! Love these boots!

Way cute. Pretty comfortable. Very narrow shaft. I can't wear jeans tucked in unless they are my very skinniest of jeans. They are nicely padded in the soles (better than most rain boots anyway) and the interior lining is nice. Buy a bigger size if you plan to wear warm socks (do plan to wear warm socks if you are wearing them in snow).

I bought this shoes here online. I read good reviews about it, unfortunately, this shoe is not for me. I have small feet, I ordered 5, it still feels bigger. No arch support, hard to walk comfortably with the shoes. I can't tuck my jeans into it or it'll feel very uncomfortable. I was so excited to get this shoes, now I have to return it!

I ordered these in my true to size and they're perfect. I popped in a pair of superfeet which made them really comfy. I have pretty athletic calves from cycling and yoga and I can easily slip my jeans inside and still have room. Living in the Pacific NW, these are a classy must.

The boot is well made and very comfortable. I usually wear a 6.5 and initially ordered a 7. These had to be returned for a 6 as the boot runs large and the heel was slipping. Great for rainy days!

First off, I would like to say Zappos customer service rocks! The best around! OK, I originally bought the Hunter Original in Chocolate. After receiving it and trying it on I thought they were a bit clunky, but still very cute. I also love the dark chocolate color. I ordered the smallest size (5), I normally wear 5 1/2-6, and they were a still a bit roomy even with my thickest socks, but comfy non-the-less. After 4 days of contemplating, I decided to exchange them for the Hunter Regent Savoy in Olive Green. After reading the reviews on this boot I thought they would be better for me and they looked cuter online. Customer Service let me keep the Original until I got to compare the 2 boots side by side, and although the sale price on the Savoys were a little more, Zappos did not charge me for the difference. Well after receiving the Regent Savoys, I have to agree with all the reviews. Very stylish, more slimming, and a slightly better fit than the Original (again a size 5). And the green color is great. All in All, super cute, especially the curve. Very. But the construction of the Savoys did not compare to the original. I could see a lot of scuff marks and scratches, which would be very visible on this boot. The Original seems to be more durable and longer lasting, especially the soles, which have very deep grooves that will take you through all elements. The Regent Savoy did not have that and I can see myself slipping on ice/snow (which a few reviews did complain about this). After 2 days of deciding and asking the advice of family and friends on this crucial matter, I decided on keeping my original purchase, the Hunter Original. For the splurge on myself, I wanted something long lasting that would take me through rain, snow, sleet, and ice. Maybe if I decided later on that I wanted a fun/stylish pair of rain boots I will purchase the Regent Savoys (I can't say enough about how cute they are). But in the end for me, functionality and durability trumps quilted cuteness and style. Plus you can add style to the Originals with the Welly socks,I think that would be hard to to with the Savoy because of the curve. If I could afford both right now, I would! But I'm off to purchase a pair of Uggs I'm drooling over and a cute pair of Welly Socks for my happily purchased Originals.

My daughters gave these to me for Christmas, hoping to make me feel like the Queen of England. They succeeded! They also gave me a bright red fleece liner, which is great. Without the liner, the boots might feel a little large.

I highly recommend these boots. They are practical and yet look very cool. I first saw them on a trip to Copenhagen where it seemed like everyone had a pair of these on. They even wear them going dancing. Living in Southern CA I don't get to use them as often as I would like, so I am actually looking forward to the rainy days when I get to put on my wellies. I read many reviews saying that the sizes run small. I usually wear a size 8-8.5 so I went ahead and ordered a size 8 and they fit perfectly. I will say that if you have very high arches they might be a bit tight in that area. Other than that they are perfect. Some people mention the white dust that they collect. That doesn't bother me. Actually, I think it is nice that they look a bit used, and you can just wipe it off with soapy water.

I love the way these boots look, but I wish Hunter would make half sizes. Also, the shaft could be a bit wider to accommodate those of us who don't have chicken legs. I definitely have to wear these with skinny jeans or leggings and my calves are average size. If you have larger calves, you'll need to get the Huntress boots, not the Original.

These are great boots! I had been considering these for years and delayed buying because they seemed expensive for what they were. These boots are super comfortable and I will get many years of use out of them. As other reviewers noted, the boots do run a little big, but only by about half size in my opinion. I normally wear a size 9 in dress shoes and a 9½ in athletic shoes. I bought the 9 in these boots and the fit is perfect - big enough to allow me to comfortably wear Hunter's welly socks when the weather is cold but not too big to be uncomfortable with regular socks. I can see how some think the boot opening is narrow, but I have narrow calves and think the opening is perfect. Room to wear them over skinny jeans or leggings and get my feet out without a struggle, but not super big either.

I love these boots. Have been wanting a pair for a few years but didn't want to pay the high price. Finally bit the bullet and bought them and I am so happy I did! The only thing I would warn you of is they run big, I normally wear at 6 1/2 or 7 in shoes, I got the 7 first but it was big, so I returned it for the 6 and it's a perfect fit!

Be careful! If you are a woman with normal to larger calves, order the huntress. They are made for women. These originals are unisex so the shaft is higher and the calves are more narrow than the huntress. Otherwise, they are hunter boots... awesome.

Love these boots! I am wearing them right now on a rainy Cleveland morning. They are a touch big on me, but I also got the fleece sock/liners for when it's colder and these make them fit perfectly snug.
