    As others have said, these do run a size large. I normally wear an 11 or 11-1/2 and the 10s were perfect for me, even with a fairly thick sock (which you'll need in the winter). These boots really stand up to the weather, have a nice large calf so you can tuck your pants in and are pretty comfortable. You should buy the boot spray to keep them shiny and pliable.

    Great rain boots! I've been through 2 pairs of less expensive boots and they both failed! I decided to pay up for rain boots that would last me more than one season so Hunter was what I chose. I originally purchased the tall but my thick calves wouldn't allow them to go on! They looked like sausages! Zappos was the best when I opted to exchange them for the short boots and thank goodness! They're super comfortable. One complaint which I read from other reviewers is that if you wear them with short socks or under your pants the back does tend to rub against the skin and cause a blister. Other than that super comfortable and really great boots!

    Great boot. It's been a good walking shoe during cyclocross season in New England. I have a small foot, and normally wear a 39.5 Euro size cycling shoe for a perfect fit. The Hunter in size 7 US fit just fine. Remember to remove the paper stickers inside. And the boot shine is probably a good idea. Within weeks they clouded up a bit. But the haze doesn't seem to affect quality.

    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.

    Great boots, they are completely waterproof, and I think a little more manly than the knee-high variety. They're even actually pretty comfortable. They don't seem to run quite as big as I would've expected, but they're definitely roomy enough for a thick pair of socks (which you might need as there is not much of a lining). The navy blue is very dark.

    If you're looking for a solid pair of rain boots, just stop now and buy these. I wasted a lot of time checking out different rain boots, but kept coming back to these. I actually look forward to wearing these boots as they're very comfortable and easy to clean. They fit well, and are very easy to slide on and off. When it was snowing, I wore these with a thick pair of socks, as they really don't have any insulation. That's fine, however, as the lack of insulation makes them more versatile (just wear different socks). I also purchased the Hunter Hunter Boot Buffer Spray.

    Great for walking in the rain or slush, totally waterproof. Had to buy the boot shine though, they got that white rubber residue pretty quickly but the shine made 'em look brand new. Runs a whole size large in my opinion. Got the women's 9 and had to return for an 8.

    The package arrived in a timely manner. I chose sizing based on other reviews I found here and it worked great. Overall, these boots were a fantastic purchase and they've done well in the rain. Not to mention the short boot has a more urban feel to it.

    I bought these boots for myself because the pull tab style and dark olive green color aren't options for women's short Hunter boots. The textured/non-glossy finish was a very pleasant surprise - distinguishes the boots from all the shiny rainboots that every girl in the city trots out whenever there's a hint of rain in the air. I was a little worried that they'd be too wide in the toe/heel area (because they're men's boots), but they fit me exactly the way my tall women's Hunter boots do.

    Perfect boots for rain or snow. These are classic and will surely stand the test of time for years to come. I used them for the last few snowfalls and have begun to venture into my very muddy garden with them. Warm socks are a must, they do not offer much insulation. Enjoy!

    I love Zappos.com, I ordered a size 8 (mens) and Got them within two days. They were a bit tight and I really needed an 8.5 but of course there no "half sizes". I got the 9 the very next day and it fit next to perfect. Very comfortable. I put a sole cushion in the bottom and it is perfect. I can't wait for the rain! These boots are winners!

    I posted a review of the Hunter 'Shorties' a month ago. Still loving the boot. A good thick wool sock will go a long ways to keeping your feet warm in snow and ice, and now as the mess is thawing, they are doubling up nicely (with lighter socks) as rain boots. Actually, I should say mud boots. Regardless, a nice "multi-tasking" ability over snow boots with fur, leather or suede.

    These boots are great! Keep my feet totally dry in the snow and slush. They don't have much insulation, so be sure to wear thicker socks with them, but I highly recommend. They are also the perfect height for men. My only complaint is the shipping. They said 3-5 business days and it took 6 business days. Kind of annoying in the middle of a snowy winter.
