Hunter Wellies - These are not the same as the Original Hunters made in Scotland. The height varies slightly from one pair to the next and the inside lining is different. The quality isn't necessarily worse, they are now made in China (where else) rather than Scotland. They are sized for a unisex fit i.e. M9/W10 Eur. 42 Also the pumpkin colored ones are a dull orange, not a bright, vibrant color as almost all pictures show.

Great pair of rain boots! I've always wanted a pair of Hunter wellies, but I was always leery of ordering from overseas and paying a high shipping cost. No problem here! Initially I was worried because they fit a little snug in the calf, but they have plenty of room in the toe and the width is just right for my feet. Lucky for me, because it's been absolutely POURING out here all weekend, but my feet, including my pant legs & socks, have stayed bone dry the whole time. And I've been getting compliments left and right!

Hunter Original - I LOVE these boots but unfortunately have struggled to find the right fit. I like the height of the Originals, but can't get them to fit in the calf with jeans tucked in (and I think I have average calves). So I ordered the men's version, as the circumference is supposedly 17 inches compared to the women's 15, but they are the exact same boot. I'm very disappointed, and would like Zappos to fix that in the description. Otherwise, as always, Zappos service has been exceptional.

Love them! These boots are amazing! I love their simplicity and classic styling coupled with comfort and utility. I walked around NYC in them all day during a storm and felt dry and comfortable. I highly recommend them!

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.

Fit/sizing - I purchased this boot for my husband, who has been wishing for them for quite some time. We are very disappointed in the sizing of the calf and had to return them with no other options for a larger size calf. 17" is too tight to get both socks and pants along with a muscular calf into the boot!

Great boots, I love how tall and practical they are. I bought the green and I think the color is just gorgeous. I have thin legs so I can comfortably fit jeans inside the boots but I think if you have large calves they would be way too tight.
Brands I'd also recommend: kate spade rain boots have a much wider leg for people who have larger calfs.

Well made, true to size. Well made, and size is perfect with thick socks. Much better arch support than I expected in a boot like this.

Great rain boots! I have very narrow calves and found the fit around the calf to be fine as long as I wear the boots under my jeans. When I tried to do the jean tuck-in I got a weird muffin top effect around my knees. You'll need to wear skinny jeans to pull that look off with these boots.

Great fit! These boots are the most comfy rubber boots I have ever owned. They are stylish enough to wear in town. Get them big enough to put an inner sole in for a bit more arch support.

Classic style, unstoppable, but a high price - There is no boot quite like a Hunter. The style is classic and will get you compliments. Whenever the weather is messy, these are fashionable. They do run a half to a full size large - wear thick socks or go down a size. I have misgivings about the price. Hunter sells their Scottish heritage, but the customs tag doesn't lie: These are made in China. For an uninsulated rubber boot, they are expensive. However, they look good and are comfortable.
Brands I'd also recommend: Cheap hardware-store rubber boots if you don't care about style

Love These Boots - This boot is GREAT! The fit as the others have said is about a size bigger than marked. I wear two pair of socks and that takes care of the fit. I think one pair of heavy weight socks would also work. I usually tuck my pants into the cuffs of the socks and that helps eliminate the mushroom pants look. I have gotten numerous comments on these boots and have found them to be very comfortable even when worn all day. The wax used in the manufacture of the boots causes a whitish look to the boot especially in the stress points created when putting them on or taking them off but these can be removed with a damp rag. I would certainly purchase these boots again. And as usual, Zappos has done themselves proud with great and fast customer service.

Great boot and great service - I wore this boot for the first time this morning and it worked fine. It is a little hard to pull on but it fit fine over socks. I bought a 10 which is the same size I wear in a loafer and 1 size smaller than what I wear in a regular lace up shoe. The service from Zappos was great. Free one day air is a true luxury. I am going to move some of my other internet shoe purchases over to Zappos.

Great boot but tricky sizing - I love my Hunter boots! The day after they arrived it snowed and they were perfect for navigating all the slush in the streets. They feel a 1/2 size larger than marked, even with thick socks on, but they are tight at the calf so I didn't want to order a size down. If you are using them as winter boots know that your feet will get cold since they are unlined. I didn't buy the liner socks they sell; any pair of thick knit knee high socks should work just as fine. I bought these boots in red and they were a little less vibrant that I expected but they still look great. I even wear them when there is no rain with leggings and a long sweater. They are heavier than other wellies so it takes a bit to get use to walking in, but once you have the knack you should be good to go!

The construction appears to be quite good. I'm a solid 8.5 (US) size or 39 (European), and I'm glad I took the advice of others to order a 7 and the fleece liners (keeps the boots interior clean and my foot has a fast and smooth entry). These boots come right up to my knee and stay on when prying my foot out of mud.
Brands I'd also recommend: Teva

Perfect Winter Companion - These boots are an excellent addition to your winter wardrobe. They are not slippery, they are not thick and uncomfortable, and with these, you don't have to choose comfort over look; they deliver both. Not only do they look sharp, but they definitely protect you on those wet, slippery snow days. Also, they don't make your feet get cold. The only thing I would recommend is to wear them with thick socks. Great purchase and investment. I'm very happy I got them.

Love 'em - I've been wanting these for awhile and finally decided to go for it. Where I live it's not cold so much as rainy and muddy and I'm sick of my pants being soaked up to my knees when I leave my house. Hunter wellies look cooler than the standard "crawfish waders" and still get the job done!
