Hunter Huntress SKU: #7363796

These are beautiful, well constructed rain boots, but they were much too tall and too wide in the calves for me. I am a 5' tall adult woman and I usually wear a 6, sometimes a 5½. These boots run a full size bigger than indicated, so I ordered the size 5. Wearing sport socks, the foot area was comfortable, not too snug and with room to wiggle my toes. However, the calf area was much too big, even with jeans tucked in. My bare calves measure 14½ at their widest. When I walked around, the shaft of the boots would literally "slap, slap, slap" my shin and calves! I think that if I used these with the cold weather welly socks, these boots would be OK, but I live in California and while it rains, it does not get that cold. Sport socks suffice for me. Another fit issue is the height of the shaft. I am 5' even, so the boot's shaft poked the back of my knees very uncomfortably when I went up the stairs. As a result, I had to return these. I ordered the size 3 kid's version (woman's 5 equivalent) and those fit perfectly! The kid's version has reflective tape on the back but that is OK with me since I figure that it keeps me safer when I am walking the dogs.

I know I'm supposed to be writing a review about my Hunter Boots, but first just let me tell you how in love I am with Zappos! They are the best place to buy anything online! The customer service is betting than any customer service I have ever encountered including face to face in stores. My boots shipped perfectly and fit well! I've been looking for boots with a wider calf so I can stuff my pants over thick socks, and these worked out great! Mine were a tad big in the foot but once I put thick socks and Dr. Scholls in, they were perfect!

Love these boots! I received the green color as a gift, and they make me look forward to rainy days. They look cute with skinny jeans and skirts, and I have no problem with the fit. They have plenty of room around the calves (I have fairly athletic legs). I was afraid they wouldn't be as stylish as the normal hunters, but they totally are, and I've gotten tons of compliments.

I absolutely love my Hunter Huntress boots. It is usually hard to find boots with enough room to tuck my jeans in, but these are perfect. They are plenty wide enough for my very wide foot. These boots are well made and very comfortable. I was able to walk long distances and stand for hours in them right out of the box. Zappos was, as usual, a pleasure to work with. There is not a better company online.

I got these in black - they were true to size. After 8 months or so the buckle rusted and a side wore through to a hole, Zappos credited me the cost! Fantastic. The boots could use a gel insert because they hurt after standing 10 hours a day on concrete, but otherwise I prefer them over the Hunter originals. Also, don't order up in size! I made that mistake trying to replace these with the pink ones and they were huge.

Bought these boots as a gift for my girlfriend. Had originally bought the regular Hunter boots, but the shaft was too narrow for her. Bought the Huntress boots and they fit great. Returning the old boots was easy and didn't cost me a thing. I definitely recommend the non glossy black boots. They hold up much better. That advice was passed to me by other Hunter owners and it's definitely true. Very happy with purchase experience.

Love, love, love these boots! They will be your beat friends during the rain sleet and snow. I bought the huntress for the extra calf space. I wanted to be able to tuck in my jeans and still have room for the warm wellie knit socks. I recommend you not only by the hunter boots but it's warm cool and stylish knit socks. You wont regret it!

I am a tall woman (5'9) with big feet (size 11-12) and big calves. I read the reviews and noted how many said this boot runs big. I took a chance and ordered a size 10, and it fits perfectly! I can wear these with thick socks and with skinny jeans tucked inside. The top of the boot comes up high enough so you don't get that chopped off stubby look (which makes your legs look larger). Great boot!

I originally bought the Original Tall Hunter boot for women and, due to my "athletic" calves, could not fit my calves comfortably in the boot. I was heartbroken, until I came across these! No more sausage calves & the boots are stylish and comfortable.

I really love these boots. I've been looking for a pair of Hunter boots for years, but the Original did not give me enough room in the calf. The Huntress gives me enough room to tuck jeans into them. They are perfect for rain/snow and I know I'll wear them frequently this winter. They are wide through the ankle and foot, but it you wear a thick sock you don't really notice.

These are excellent! I got the Huntress after reading the reviews that indicated that the Hunters were narrow in the calf for a woman of 5'11. I am glad I did!Rain, Rain, go away. Also good for the upcoming snow! The boots are made for the socks that you buy with them for a good fit.

I love these boots. I'm 5'4 with wider calves and I love the height and width of these boots. They are perfect. I can comfortably fit jeans in them with thick socks. They run about a half size larger. Normally I wear a 7 1/2 but the 7 fits me perfectly.

It is nice that Hunter has a version of this boot with the wider calf; however, I don't like that it is several inches shorter than the original. I have tried both on, and I am keeping this one only because I can wear it with more pants; the original I can only wear with super skinny jeans or leggings (i.e. this wider calf is more practical). But the other one is taller, and has that 'look' that people want in a way that this one does not quite have. So it wins for practicality, which is what I need right now, but I am bummed it isn't as fashionable. If it were the same height as the original, even with the wider calf, I still think the more fashionable look could be pulled off!

I read a lot of the reviews. I ordered 2 sizes, 1 an 8 and 1 a 9. 8-8.5 is my normal size. I kept the 8. My calves are larger and have a hard time with any boots, even though I'm a size 8. The 8's fit great, with the Wellie sock and pants tucked in they were a bit tight but fit fine. I can't wait to use them walking from the train to work in the rain and snow.

These went over my legs and jeans fine. Reasonably comfy for a rainboot. I ordered an American size 9, which seemed true to size, but if you are close to 9.5, this boot will be too short. The width is generous.

I love these, I'm 5'1, and they are the perfect height, almost to my knee. They def wouldn't fit me with jeans tucked in though although they fit nicely with tights. Usually wear a 6.5 and ordered a 6, and they fit perfectly.

These boots are really comfortable and stylish. My feet stay dry. They are cold, though. I need to try the liners.
