Love 'em!
These are my very first pair of Hunter boots and I have to say I am very happy with my purchase. I normally wear a size 6.5-7 for most shoes but fit just fine into a size 6 Hunter boot with a bit of room left. The extra space will be perfect for the winter when I have to stuff fleece socks in. It's also good to have a bit of space because waterproof boots do get a bit hot and sweaty. Socks are a must!
The Huntress boots are about two inches shorter than the Hunter Originals. Depending on your height this is probably something to consider. I'm 5'3" and the Hunter Originals probably would have hit the back of my knees when walking or sitting so getting the Huntress boots instead was perfect.
The only thing that doesn't quite work out of me is the width of the boot around the calf which is a bit too big for me but at least I won't have trouble stuffing in my jeans.

Great for athletic calves -
I ordered a couple of other rain boots before I got to these. All of them were too snug for my calves except these. I was extremely happy to find that I could fit them comfortably as well as tuck in pants. They are great for my commute to work...no more soaked sneakers! Order a full size smaller. I am usually a 6 but the 5 was perfect. I even had some room to add an adhesive arch pad (my feet are incredibly flat). Zappos is incredible! Fast shipping!

Love the huntress!
My calves are about 16 1/2" around and these fit perfectly. I can't tuck pants into them, but they're great with socks, and I imagine something with leggings would work too. Love the color; love the height of the boot, everything about them really. Wouldn't change a thing. However, I usually wear a size 8 US in shoes, and a 7 US in trainers, and I had to get a 38 EUR in the boots (as opposed to the 39 EUR Zappos had suggested).

I am a new fan of HUNTER Boots!
OK - So I just bought these boots (in size 8) and LOVE them. I will honestly say though they felt huge without socks...I also bought the fleece sock for these Wellies and with that sock, the boots still felt a bit big, but not uncomfortable big...I think the 7's would be too small with this sock, especially since I have a wide foot. I also have big calves and after reading the reviews of the "original", I decided on the "Huntress" for the bigger calf size....which was a very good idea; however, stuffing jeans will be a bit tough but will work. So with that said, for girls with big calves these are perfect and again, the shoe size, definitely big...if you don't intend on wearing a thick sock, go 1 size smaller (but the fleece sock for these Wellies are too cute to pass up!)

Huntress Boots in Navy Blue -
I have thick calves and never would have fit into the classic Hunter Wellies. Even these are snug, snug, snug! I could never tuck jeans into them. They serve their purpose though - they kept me dry during a rainy "mud season" in Maine.

Garden Boot -
I wear an 8 1/2 and ordered an 8 and 9 boot. The 8 was snug with a sock and the 9 was a little bit loose, even with a sock. I kept the 9 since these are to be used for yard work. The 9 has worked out well since rubber boots are hot in summer and the extra space feels good on hot, sweaty feet.

Love them!
I loved these boots so much I bought a pair for my mom. They're so comfortable and versatile. I live in a semi-rural place and I can wear these walking the dog even in snow, or to the grocery store. They're great for clearing ditches on a rainy day, and I get compliments when I just do errands in them. I have sore, arthritic, wide feet with high-but-falling arches, and I could wear these all day long. I wear a 7.5 and usually buy an 8 for the width, but I ordered a 38 in these after reading reviews, and they're perfect even with cozy socks (haven't tried the really thick rag wool ones).

I couldn't get them to look clean and shiny -- even right out of the box. (This was true with both pairs I ordered.) I rubbed some marks off. I also tried a cloth with water as the manufacturer suggests, but it didn't work very well.

Wonderful Wellies -
These boots are a good combination of comfort and function. The rubber is supple and lacks the stiffness that might otherwise interfere with a good long walk through puddly weather. These are well suited for mucky fields or sopping pavement. Like most rubber boots, these do not have a lot of support (something that an orthotic can fix). Unlike many rubber boots, they have a sole with give which keeps one connected to the ground beneath one's feet.

After all, they are Hunter boots....
I love these boots---I bought my Huntress in the UK a few years ago, long before they were available from Zappos. I love them because of the height---the shaft on the originals were hitting me at the knee, but these hit me where the regular boots reach most other folks.
And for those in shock over the cost: well, they are Hunter boots. They'll last you for decades. My UK relatives routinely keep theirs for 20 years.

They're a little dusty looking (tried water and nail polish remove to try and remove no luck). Also, the calf diameter is a large increase from the original hunter so while you can comfortably fit your legs in with jeans; you're swimming in them if you want to wear them with leggings or tights.

Finally!
I've wanted a pair of Hunters for over a year, but couldn't find a pair to fit (tiny foot but not-so-skinny leg) and then I found these --I'm so thrilled with them.

Love the fit!
These boots fit better than the traditional Hunter because they have a looser fit around the calf, so they slip on and off nicely. I am a first time owner of this brand, but based on reviews, I thought it would be better to just buy a good pair once. I have a very wet backyard in the spring and the cheaper boots just don't stay dry. I like the look and so far they seem comfortable for rain boots.

Great rain boot!
I'd been searching for a rain boot for a long time; everything was either covered in stripes and flowers or was too tight in the calf. These boots fit my calves fine with room to spare for tucking in jeans, PLUS no polka dots and bright colors! I wear a US 6.5 and I’m 5'1" - these come up right under my knees. So far I’ve walked a few miles in them on the city streets of Philadelphia and New York City; they're comfortable and definitely stable in the rain and puddles. I purchased the size 37 and wear them with thick socks, although thinner socks would still be okay (perhaps with an insole). My feet do get very hot in them, but that's a rain boot!

Mud is no match!!!
Great boots. Almost returned them because even the 16 inch "wide calf" is a little snug and the ankle is a bit bunchy, but they look good after wearing them in the house and vogue-ing in front of the mirror. I wear them to do all the work outside and out around the house. Very cute for a utilitarian boot. Why don't they make more fun colors?

These boots rock!
These are awesome boots. The Huntress is a little wider in the calf for those us of gals who work out and have bigger calves. Not only are they cute, they are COMFY. I could walk all day in these. I wear thick wool socks in winter for trekking in the snow and lighter socks for motoring around when it is rainy. They are great!!!

THEY'VE CHANGED A BIT -
This is an addendum to my review posted 3-15-08. My brand-new Hunter Huntress boots arrived in record time. (Thank you, Zappos.) Although they are theoretically the same size as the twenty-plus-year-old Huntress boots that I'm retiring, the new boots are actually an inch and a half shorter in the shaft and considerably wider at the top of the calf. Since the old ones fit me perfectly, I'm disappointed that the boot height and calf width seem to have changed since I bought my original pair. Otherwise, they feel great.

Huntress boots -
Love, love, love them. I tried the Hunter, but it was too tight at the calf. The Huntress is perfect! Highly recommend a pair to jump in puddles with.

Great rain boots -
I love my new Hunter boots. I have bigger calves (15.5 inches), so I always have problems finding boots that fit. However, these fit perfectly. I'm not sure though if they'd fit over jeans... I haven't tried yet. My only fault with them is that they are a little big in the foot area - I have to wear thick socks or it's hard to walk up and down stairs without fearing they'd fall off. I usually wear a 6.5, but bought these in a 6. All in all, I absolutely love them and look forward to the rainy days so I can wear them!

Love the huntress -
I got the huntress instead of the hunter original b/c some reviews said they were bigger than others, I’m usually an 11 in women's but the 10 fit me just fine, it's a teeny bit snug but still feels fine, definitely get a size, at least a 1/2 size, smaller.

Shoulda got these to begin with!!!
After buying 3 pairs of wellies (including the lovely-looking but disastrous Sperry Pelican Wedge Sadie boot which were unwearable after just 3 wears) and finding that they all split and leaked, I finally plumped for a pair of huntress boots.
Back in the UK, my best friend grew up on a farm so had a pair of these ALL her life. I thought that was a good sign.
After reading reviews, I ordered a size down and found they were WAY TOO SMALL, so sent them back. My regular size was out but Zappos informed me as soon as they came in and I really didn't have to wait too long.
Got my boots in my regular size (I'm a UK 5 and that's what I ordered) and they are a perfect fit once I'd put in an arch support insert - there is also room for the Hunter wellie sock.
Very comfy, very tough (my dog likes to run off and try and chew them) and look great and great proportion for my 5ft 3in height.
Wish I'd got these to start with and not wasted my time with others.

Rain Boots in the City -
I love the rain boots. Great for walking around the city especially when it rains a lot. I tested them out and the shoe is a lil big on my feet. I had to buy the Hunter's socks and inserts to have it fit the right size. The shoe is still big when I take off the sock and leave the inserts. But still great rainboots. I am so cautious about the sole because it can be run down fast since its rubber! No fleece inside to keep warm so if you are going to wear it in the winter, I would suggest you to buy Hunter's fleece socks. Overall that’s why I gave it 3 stars.

ASTONISHINGLY GOOD RAIN BOOTS -
I am ordering a new pair of Huntress boots, only because my original pair has begun to wear out after more than 20 years of hard use. I've tromped through snake-infested rainforests, mucked around muddy farm fields, scampered along winter beaches, and scrambled over sharp tidepool rocks in these boots. I've hiked countless trail miles and run many city blocks in them through pelting rain in complete, dry comfort. They're supportive and sturdy, yet springy and flexible. And though I certainly don't wear these boots in hopes of improving my appearance, I receive surprisingly frequent compliments on how they look, often from complete strangers. At five feet tall with medium-sized calves and normally a 6 1/2 shoe size, I've found the size 6 a perfect fit with thick socks. This is the only footwear I've ever owned that I will feel sentimental about relinquishing. Still, I'm excited to trade in my worn-out green ones for a shiny pair of navy blue. I expect the new ones to last another 20+ years.
