My first Hunter boots. Got them in Merlot. Wasn't as red as I would have liked, looked a little more brown. But overall, they look great. They are pretty tall (I'm 5'5") so if I bend my knees enough, they curl in the back. They definitely run big (I normally wear 8.5 and ordered 8, but still big), but I'm getting used to it. Probably should have switched to 7, but whatever. Anyway, very functional pair of boots and I'm hoping they will last. I can walk through puddles and anywhere without worry. Oh, and I've gotten compliments already on them.

These are great. Both fashionable and functional. They do sell a fleece liner so you can wear these in the winter and keep your feet warm as well as dry. I actually wore them with a skirt, and they look nice. Best to order through Zappos. Had the order almost at my door once I hit submit.

A Big Clunky, Ugly Rubber boot. What was I thinking? After reading all the reviews I was very excited about this boot. Obviously it is not really a "fashion" boot, but who could stand to wear such a heavy clunky boot for more than 2 minutes? They are too Narrow in the calf and still clunky even though I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear. I'm going to order Merrells leather boot, as I'm sure I will get more wear out of them.

I am on my second pair of wellies as the first pair I ordered became encased in a white waxy film that would not wipe off after wearing only twice. Zappos was terrific in addressing this issue and I now have a pair that I love and are a consistent low sheen, black color. The boots are great for rain and messy weather, the shaft of the boot is narrow, so probably not the best fit for a fuller calf.

Additional Brand Information
All about Hunter
If you want a place where people appreciate the benefits of a well-fitting, waterproof boot, Scotland seems a natural choice. Mr. Henry Lee Norris most certainly thought so when he set up shop with his master boot makers back in 1856. Originally, Hunter rain boots were designed for traversing Scotland’s rugged terrain and combating its unpredictable weather. Since then, the reputation of Hunter men's rain boots, Hunter women's rain boots and Hunter children's rain boots for performance, durability and outstanding comfort has become legendary worldwide.
Although their links to the present day cover over 150 years and an awful lot of advancement, there are things about a pair of Hunter rain boots that Henry would still recognize: the care, the craftsmanship, and the refusal to compromise on quality.
The first of the famous Hunter green Wellingtons were seen back in 1956. Ever since, they’ve been mastering the art of welly making for children and adults, by using the best of new materials, introducing revolutionary technology and replying on good old fashioned hand craftsmanship. What sets Hunter rain boots apart from the competition lies in part to a closely guarded secret process. The result is a much stronger, watertight boot that will perform under the toughest conditions.
Hunter is equally proud of the things that have changed and the things that stay the same. The weather's just as wet and the Hunter rain boots are just as good! Today, Hunter remains the preferred welly brand for men, women and children who like to work hard and play hard. Wherever your pursuits may lie, be they in a distant wooded field or amidst the bustle of city streets, Hunter has the perfect footwear for keeping up with your unique lifestyle.

Love! Great for skinny calves and they are tall rain boots! Advice: 1) These may be 1 size too big for you or they may not be. My advice is to order both your normal size and one size down (unless you're a half size, order the size up and size down) because Zappos provides free shipping both ways. I'd also say go ahead and order some hunter liners to ensure your boot is good fit if you want to wear the liners from time to time. This should all save you some trouble. I'm about to buy my normal size to compare because I may want to wear the hunter liners. 2) If you can, buy when the temperature outside isn't crazy hot. I ordered a pair in the summer and mine had all that wax stuff released and they looked bad so I never wore them, but held on to them because I wasn't sure. I ordered some two days ago and they are great looking; no wax released and no dullness. 3) The original hunters are a matte color. If you want the glossy look, order the original gloss hunters (at the moment, I can't decide which to keep!). 4) Colors: merlot is a brownish red; the aubergine is a dark deep purple (I also cannot decide between the aubergine or black!). And thank you Zappos for providing me great service. I feel bad that I have to return some of the hunters I've bought because I wasn't sure on the color or size. It all means I keep Zappos in mind when shopping for shoes.

Love 'em! Receive so many compliments. My advice is to order the original not the Huntress and the original is a little higher and, on me, they are a little wider. First I ordered the Huntress and and I sent them back because they were a little narrow on the upper part of the calf. They'll last forever, too. Worth every penny.

I was recommended to this brand by my sister. As I, generally speaking, know nothing about anything related to clothing or fashion, I took her word for it. And I\'m glad I did. I love them! They\'re very comfortable, and well made. I really have no complaints!

I have wanted these boots forever and finally broke down and got a pair. I am so glad I did, I love them! I want it to rain everyday! I read that other people got a size up and so I ordered two sizes to be safe. However I wear a size 8 and it fit perfectly.

I love these boots! I was nervous at first that they wouldn\'t fit around my calves, but I can tuck in my jeans and leggings without a problem. I ordered half a size down (8 from an 8.5) and they fit me perfectly. These are adorable, comfortable, and extremely waterproof. I look for puddles to walk through when I\'m wearing them. Great purchase, and I\'m sure I\'ll wear these for years to come.

I walked 3 miles in them today to test them out before it starts raining. They were great. I wasn\'t slopping around a lot or swimming in them as they were much more fitted to my legs and feet than I expected. Now I\'m looking forward to the rain! Stylish boots too. Happy to have found these!

Love my rubber boots! I feel like I made an investment, and I won't have to replace these due to leaks, style or versatility. I normally wear a size 7 1/2, but I followed previous reviewers instructions and purchased the converted 1/2 size down. They fit perfectly even with a heavier sock. Although I believe in their sturdiness, I added an arch support for my high arches since I plan to be walking about 1 mile at a time to/from a train.

Hunter Original Boots in Black: Oh, how I wanted these to fit! They are so nice! Believe me, if they weren't quite so snug I would be keeping them, but they hug the top of my calf just enough to bug me a bit and although I have tried them on multiple times now, I just can't get over the feeling that I don't have enough wiggle room up there! It's a shame, since they fit perfectly otherwise. I am debating ordering the Huntress instead, but in the meantime, these are going to have to go back. I am sad about that, but at least Zappos great return policy will make it less painful for me! Oh, and by the way, I also ordered the shorter lace-up Hunters in Green, and it's love! I am keeping those. They fit perfectly, and I get compliments every time I wear them!

My Hunter boots are probably one of the best purchases I've made in the last several months. I recently moved back to the East Coast and got tired of going out in the rain and the hem of my jeans getting wet when walking to my car, not to mention cold feet, and jumping over puddles. Now I almost feel a little happier when it's rainy out because I just pull on my Hunters, tuck my pants in, and off I go, large puddles are no problem. They are also fantastic for walking through muddy or mushy areas in the yard if I need to take out the trash or do outside chores in the rain. I got them in classic black, and they look great with everything. I think they do run about a half-size big, I am typically between a 7 1/2 and 8 and I wear the 38 (which I believe is a 7 in U.S. size). They also have a soft lining, which is nice. Love!

Hunter boots are a must have for rainy days and even in the snow. They are tough and hold up to wear and tear. Very comfortable fit and keeps your feet dry on the wettest days. They can get messy in the matt finish. If you want a shine to your boots, buy the glossy finish.
I've been lusting after these boots for a little over a year, and I just recently moved to a place that rains all winter, so I figured it was time to by them. They're great! The plastic is a bit strange in the ankle (when you walk it folds onto itself in a way I've never had happen before), but it's nothing annoying; I think it's just part of plastic rain boots. They run large, so I'm a 7 1/2 - 8 and I ordered a 7 and I'm perfectly happy with the sizing. Plus, there's plenty of room to tuck pants in, which is key.
