Hunter Huntress Gloss SKU: #7667921

Anonymous

I tried these because at 5'11" the original gloss Hunters were too tight around my calves. But these ones were too big around the ankles and didn't feel secure on my feet.

I clearly didn't read the description well enough before ordering these boots as I was surprised by how WIDE they are! I love the height of these boots as the Hunter Original boots are a bit too high for my liking. Unfortunately, these had to be returned as I couldn't walk a step without twisting my ankle!

Fantastic boots! I've been wanting them for well over a year now, but couldn't bring myself to spend this much on a rubber boot...I'm glad I finally did. Good fit, comfortable and better quality than the various pairs I've had. I have a muscular calf and the Huntress fits great! Also has enough room left for jeans in the shaft and thick socks in the foot. The original was too tall (pinched the back of my knee) and too tight (couldn't wear anything other than stockings, if that). A great buy and Zappos was so fantastic with how quickly they were delivered. A day before estimated delivery! This was the first item I purchased from Zappos and it definitely won't be my last. I fell in love with you guys! I also look forward to rainy days.

I bought both the Hunter original and the Huntress, anticipating that the calf might be a bit snug, and I wanted to tuck in my jeans and wear the Hunter socks. Sadly, the original was too snug to tuck anything in. The Huntress ankle area was way too baggy and loose - it looks really weird, and the top of the calf is only about .5" wider than the original. I'm very sad. I wanted to love these, but can't justify a less than perfect fit for the money. Why can't they just make the original with a wider calf? I'm going to try the men's size. I hear the calf runs 1" wider.

Needed boots to combat rain and snow on my walk from the parking lot a few blocks away from work. I went right for the Huntress because I have "athletic" calves (about 15") and like having plenty of room in my boots to tuck in dress pants / easy on and off. These fit the bill perfectly! I am usually an 8.5-9 in regular shoes, but took other reviewers' advice and ordered down a size. The 8 fits perfectly and is nice and snug with thick socks, a little roomier with tights. Only downside is they are a little clunky / heavy, but it is a rain boot designed to withstand the elements, so that is to be expected. Overall, very pleased and know I will get many years of wear out of my new Hunters!

Finally, a Hunter boot for short people with robust legs! The proportions are great and the water-resistant boot is very functional in rain and snow. For long walks, I recommend a cushioned insert for comfort.

Overall, a cute, classic boot. Even though this one is a gloss boot, it still does that annoying "blooming" that Hunter is so famous for! I ordered the Boot Buff and Spray to help combat it, and it's helping. These boots are great for wider calves, and are also a little shorter in the shaft, I believe, so perfect for a more petite person. They do run on the bigger side. I ordered a full size smaller and mine fit great with a normal sock. If you plan to wear heavy socks, maybe order your normal size. Very comfy and stylish. My only complaint is the blooming!

Really cute and a great height for me, but VERY big in the ankle area. Couldn't keep them on.

I'm so happy with these boots! I too have the so called "athletic calf" and these fit perfectly! I wore them while in Florida everyone else had hiking boots on, and their feet were soaked - not me! I just bought the boot shine to polish them up - the blooming of the natural rubber causes them to look chalky ,especially since I got the black. LOVE THEM!

Absolutely love these boots! I've had cheaper boots before but they never been able to make it through a single rainy season. Gloss is definitely better than original because you avoid the whole white powdery finish that is harder to get rid of than you think (should buy the gloss spray). The sizes run a bit high and I'm usually a 7 so I got a 6 which fit perfectly! The slight heel provides good arch support for people who are not used to walking flat for long periods of time. Can't wait to use these when I go to New York!

Great boots! I got the huntress because I wanted to be able to tuck in my pants without feeling like my calves where being suctioned by the boot. I am 6 months pregnant and this boots are perfect, and I know they will be great after pregnancy!

I got these boots in November and am so glad I did. With the crazy winter we are having I am wearing these at least twice a week! The are very comfortable and fit perfectly around my calfs. The only complaint I have is that the color isn't as black as I would have liked. They get a cloudy film over them and when I wipe it off it comes right back. I had to buy and return a couple of pairs before I found the right fit. I wear a size 7 but got a size 6 in these boots. Zappos was amazing with my exchanges and I even received a Thank you card in the mail after my purchase!!!

Horrible! They have that terrible "blooming" and look old, used and not worth the money. Returned them with much disappointment!

This boot fits great for women with shorter and wider legs than average. They go great with skinny jeans and keep feet dry and for about a week. Every single pair of Hunter boots I have owned get tiny holes in them. Now, whenever I wear my boots in the rain or snow or slush my feet get soaked. I do like how the boots look but I highly recommend that you don't buy these shoes if you have to walk through feet of snow, inches of rain, or slush puddles.

Ordered the original Hunters, but with a 16" circumference calf - they didn't fit! Ordered these and they fit wonderfully, but I hate that they are shorter and only come in boring colors. It's like Hunter is punishing us for having bigger calves. Oh well - Zappos was amazing about the return though!

This boot is awkward looking. As others have pointed out, large calves do not mean you have large ankles. I love the original tall Hunters, but they don't fit. Wish they sold adjustable Hunters in the US.

It is a very nice boot. Good material, good quality. It has wide calves, which is key for me. I need wider calves as always, and I tried the original in store, it is too tight. But the Huntress has no problem. I can even put my flare jeans inside the boots. The only thing is it is kind of short and wide, making my legs look short and calves really big. I suggest people with large calves and not so tall, like me, should go with the short one instead of this.
