This boot is well worth the price! I put off buying a pair of rain boots for months, all the while hoping I would find a low-priced pair that would withstand lots of wear. I kept coming back to the Hunter brand, and I am glad I did! The Hunter Original is classic, easy to wear, and very comfortable. If you are a half-size, I suggest ordering down. I am W8.5 and ordered a W8. I find that I have ample room to wear a heavy sock if desired. The boot is still comfortable with thin sock, though.

Absolutely fantastic boots! I get compliments whenever I wear them, which is all the time here in the rainy wet northwest. I have no problems tucking skinny jeans completely into them without the unattractive bulky denim hanging around the top like other wellies I\'ve tried. \r\n\r\nI have a larger calf (14") and I still have space. I imagine if you have anything bigger than a 14" calf you might have trouble tucking jeans into them and if your calves are 15" or larger I\'d suggest a boot designed for extra large calves because there is no way these would fit. \r\n\r\nI wear a size 7 and bought a size 7 in the Hunter\'s. Unlike other reviews I\'ve read I would say they fit true to size with an average width. If you have particularly narrow feet I\'d suggest downsizing. \r\n\r\nOverall I LOVE them, very comfortable, durable, and stylish. Worth twice the price.

So glad I made the investment! I just purchased these in aubergine (it was between green and aubergine and I was not sure, very happy with my choice). The boots are a really dark purple, almost black, but they look great and they will go with anything! I followed the advice of other reviewers and ordered a size smaller (normally I'm an 8.5 - 9 and I ordered the 8, I also have a pretty narrow foot). The 8s fit great, plenty of room at the toes, a little snug on the upper calf, but I was able to tuck my regular boot cut jeans in them (probably would be easier with tights or skinny jeans). Zappos has to be one of the best companies out there. I received an email shortly after I placed my order (Monday evening) saying that they upgraded my free shipping to free overnight shipping. The UPS guy delivered the boots Tuesday evening. Wow! I also felt confident that if I did have a problem or change my mind about the color, Zappos has such great customer service (from a previous experience) that I would easily be able to exchange them. Luckily they fit great and I'm happy with my purchase. Awesome experience and now I can't wait for a rainy day!

I'm tiny (5'1") and was concerned the boots would be too high based on other reviews, but they're totally fine (my legs are a bit on the long side, though). I bought a 37 which is what I normally wear; size is perfect, but I do have quite wide feet. I had the 36 before, but found they wore out quickly at the widest part of my foot. I wore them for 5 days straight in Paris while walking tons - super comfortable.

I've been wanting a pair of these boots forever. Great for rainy day dog walks and giving the dog a bath in less than warm weather. Also wear them when I go to my son's (all too often) muddy cross country meets. I found them true to size. Not for lengthy walking though, no support.

I love these boots! Easy on/off, great fit and completely waterproof. I like an extremely supportive shoe, so I use an insert and my insert fit just fine. The adjustable buckle at the top of the boot is a nice perk. I bought the color Aubergine (an extremely dark purple) which I think has a little more zest than plain black. These boots will last for y-e-a-r-s. Worth the money!

The Hunter wellies are just wonderful in every way. You'll need warm socks if you are out in the snow in them, but they are so comfy you'll want to wear them even in nice weather. The Zappos team just can't be beat. I got my boots only a couple days after I ordered them because they upgraded my shipping. You can't beat their service, selection or friendliness. I canceled an order for these boots with another company just so I could buy them from Zappos once they came back into stock because of their great service. Highly recommend both the boots and Zappos.

These boots are comfy, warm and thoroughly waterproof. Good colors, and you can get fleece inserts so you can stay dry and cozy in winter, too.

I finally caved and splurged on a pair. I love my pair. The fit is great, my calves are on the smaller side so I can still easily pull my boots over my pants. I was for a while, confused what size to get since everyone says they run large. I wear a 7 - 7.5 and I simply ordered the 7s. They are a little loose, but you don\'t want your rainboots to fit so tightly, otherwise how will they possibly breathe through the rubber? I\'m planning on wearing them in slushy snow, so I\'m factoring some space for thick socks. The 6s did fit, but they fit too perfectly with thin socks. I just don\'t like the idea of tight fitting rubber boots.

Just received my boots, wearing them as you're reading this! I bought the black glossy size 10, and thought that I would have to "modify" the calf width, after I had tried some on in a Freeport boutique and due to my equestrian calves, they didn't quite fit. Perhaps I was just having a fat calf day because when I took this pair out of the box this morning, they fit perfect! Foot length is exact for size 10, and they have nice supple rubber, but not so much that they will fold over. Ordered on Thanksgiving, Zappos fast service has proved itself once again; I won't buy from anywhere else!

LOVE THEM! These boots fit great, feel great, and now I look forward to rainy days. I am a 9 (though 9.5 in Nike), and these fit fine. They are much more comfortable than I thought they'd be as I wore them all day outlet shopping and my feet never hurt. I recommend them highly.

I am in love with these boots. I can't wait for rainy days so I can put them on. I got the yellow, which I love. They go with everything and besides being really really cute, they are completely waterproof. I usually wear a 7 1/2 and the 7's fit me perfectly. They're not too narrow in the calf, but definitely wear with skinny jeans or tights. A great investment!

I love these boots! I have wanted a pair forever and now I want them in different colors. The fit was great for me. Some reviews said the calf was tight, but I did not think so at all. I do have golf tee legs though with almost no calves to speak of, so maybe that is why they fit so well. If you have always wanted a pair of real Hunter Wellies, these are worth the price.

These quickly became my favorite boots. I have never left the house in them and not received an onslaught of compliments. They\'re comfortable, they keep my feet dry, and are all around great for the rainy season.

The Zappos service experience was exceptional. I accidentally ordered the wrong size boots, but reached a service rep swiftly who adjusted the order and sent me all the appropriate materials with which to easily return the incorrect product upon my receiving it. I was also not charged for the additional pair that I ordered to correct the error. Returning the incorrect product was a breeze and all email correspondence throughout the process was clear, cordial and prompt. Thank You Zappos!!!!

I just received my wellies in the mail today! I got the black boots with the pinky purple fleece socks. My calf measures 14 inches and the boot is a bit snug with the fleece sock. I'm 5'4" and the boot hits right under my knee. It doesn't bother me when I walk or when I sit. I love them! They look really cute especially with the socks! I normally wear a 8 in sneakers, but I wear a 7 in Uggs. I ordered these in a 7 and they fit well.

These boots are classic and simple, I got them in black for when we get rainy days in the winter. Have not had the chance to try them yet. I have muscular calves and shortish legs (I'm 5'5") and they fit me and go up to my knee. In fact, they could not be any taller for me. Zappos delivery was fast and smooth.

Got these boots last week. The foot is quite roomy, so I can wear a warm pair of socks while out mucking about. The calf is quite tight, to the point of creating a vacuum lock; I had to have help getting these boots off. This is unfortunate, as I won't be able to tuck my jeans inside to keep from getting wet. Overall, I'm happy with them and I'm just waiting for it to rain so I can properly try them out.

My first Hunter boots. Got them in Merlot. Wasn't as red as I would have liked, looked a little more brown. But overall, they look great. They are pretty tall (I'm 5'5") so if I bend my knees enough, they curl in the back. They definitely run big (I normally wear 8.5 and ordered 8, but still big), but I'm getting used to it. Probably should have switched to 7, but whatever. Anyway, very functional pair of boots and I'm hoping they will last. I can walk through puddles and anywhere without worry. Oh, and I've gotten compliments already on them.

These are great. Both fashionable and functional. They do sell a fleece liner so you can wear these in the winter and keep your feet warm as well as dry. I actually wore them with a skirt, and they look nice. Best to order through Zappos. Had the order almost at my door once I hit submit.

A Big Clunky, Ugly Rubber boot. What was I thinking? After reading all the reviews I was very excited about this boot. Obviously it is not really a "fashion" boot, but who could stand to wear such a heavy clunky boot for more than 2 minutes? They are too Narrow in the calf and still clunky even though I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear. I'm going to order Merrells leather boot, as I'm sure I will get more wear out of them.

I am on my second pair of wellies as the first pair I ordered became encased in a white waxy film that would not wipe off after wearing only twice. Zappos was terrific in addressing this issue and I now have a pair that I love and are a consistent low sheen, black color. The boots are great for rain and messy weather, the shaft of the boot is narrow, so probably not the best fit for a fuller calf.

I love the style and my color choice. With the welly socks inside the boots, they are not easy to pull off. In terms of comfort, they are a little bit stiff in the footbed. In terms of keeping my feet dry in the pouring rain and walking through puddles, they are awesome!

 |  | I know many times all you hear about are complaints, but this note is just to let you know that out of all my experiences with websites and purchasing online (which I do a lot of), your website, your ordering process, and your return process is the easiest I have ever experienced. I just a placed an order, and it was just like “1, 2, 3,” and I had made my purchase. I have ordered from you before, and unfortunately had to make some returns, but it was a breeze to return. Don't think I will ever purchase shoes from another retailer again. Thank you for such pleasant experiences!!
