I have the Hunter tall boot (got it years ago, when they were still made in Scotland), and now this short boot. These do, indeed, run big. I'm between a 5.5 and a 6. I got this in the 6, and I can fit my finger between my heel and the back of the boot, and wiggle it, too, but that wee bit of room allows me to wear extra-thick socks during the winter, which is perfect!

Love these boots. Well worth paying the money. Have bought cheaper versions before to save money and they fall apart right away. Boots are tough and waterproof. Size down. I got the 4/5 women's and usually wear a size 6. These fit perfectly. I like the short hunters because I think they look better on short legs like mine than tall boots. Plenty of room to tuck pants in as well. Spend the money!

I thought that these boots would be completely waterproof - but after wearing them a couple of times in wet conditions, the toes of my socks were a bit damp (and not due to sweating). Maybe I\'m naive in expecting complete dryness? At any rate, I\'m still happy with them because: for the most part they still do the job, they\'re cute (I got the purple), and comfortable. I think I have an average calf size and I have no problem fitting boot-cut jeans into them. Great for all the dog walking I do!

Love my short Hunters! They are perfect for a football game or shopping when you want to look cute, but don't want to look like you're trying too hard. I did have to return my 1st pair because they run large. I usually where an 8, but a 7 fits perfectly even with thick socks.

Too short even for a short girl. The regular Hunter boot is too tall for someone my height (about 5 feet); it would have hit uncomfortably just under my kneecap. I suspected these might be too short though, but I ordered them to try them on and see; sure enough, they hit me mid-shin, and even just taking a few steps around the living room that feeling was so uncomfortable. Why couldn't they just make them 2 inches taller? Oh, I'm a size 6 and ordered the Women 5/Men 4 because I know that in the US, men's 4 is a women's 6. Worked out perfectly.

I bought a pretty pair of hunter boots this spring, the ones with spring flowers on it. I abused the poor boots all summer, mulching, digging in the dirt, playing in the water and mud, leaving them sit outside by the back door when they were not on my feet. Since winter is approaching I decided to clean them up and bring them inside, lamenting about how bad they looked, not like they did when I took them out of the box. After a little light scrubbing they looked like new again. It's supposed to rain tomorrow and I have go into Georgetown. Guess what I'm going to wear?

These boots keep you dry from the big city puddle and they look pretty cute over skinny jeans. I purchased a size down. The first pair I ordered were my true size and they were very big - heel kept slipped out.\r\n\r\n

I had been searching all over the stores for the Hunter Original Short boot in chocolate and could not find them any where. I needed the short version because I have thick calves that often do not fit in high boots. I was also looking for the Hunter brand because they are stylish and the craftsmanship is amazing! \r\nI decided to call the Hunter showroom here in New York and they referred me to the Zappos website. I received them quickly and with free shipping! \r\nI love them and yes, they run a bit big, but I can live with it. I do wish the brown wasn\'t so dark. \r\nI recommend them!

I absolutely love my Hunter rain boots. They are so durable and look cute with jeans and even shorts. They do run a little big however I like the room to wear thicker socks when it os cold. I wear a 7.5 normally and got a 7. Also, I love the short version. I'm 5'2 and I personally did not think it would be very comfortable with the boots rubbing on the joint line when I walked. I was first contemplating getting child-size but did not like the structure of the boot as much as these. Glad I went with the Hunter short. Also, Zappos was extremely fast shipping. I think it took all of a day.

Love these! I read the reviews and thought that I should go a size down, but they turned out a little tight. I called Zappos and had my new boots the next day. Very comfy and very happy feet.

I have several pairs of Hunter boots, but I much prefer this shorter version. I always struggled with the taller ones being to tight on my calves hence no room to tuck my jeans into the boots. I am always watering, walking through wet grass, washing an animal;you name it and these boots have never failed me. I do however slip around in them a bit especially walking down hill, but I fixed that issue by putting Ugg insole replacements in them. Now they are perfect. I only have the traditional green, but am tempted to order another color for variety.

I ordered the Hunter boots for my daughter. She is a counselor at a sleep away camp, so I can\'t comment on comfort, but I can say, they are very well made and I am certain her feet will stay dry!She loved the look of the boot, and any rain boot that an 18 year old will wear, says a lot for the shoe!! Enjoy!

They feel very roomy, even a half size down from my usual size. I love the short height as I have short legs and they aren’t too tall. Very wide opening at top, a little tough to get boot legged jeans over.

The aubergine is a subtle enough purple that they’re not obnoxious, which I love. I ordered a 9 although I usually wear a 10, and they fit fine with thin cotton socks (haven’t tried them with wool socks yet). I wish I would have gotten the taller ones, but I do love these boots.

These boots look cute but that's about it. They're heavy and have a plastic smell. Do not expect to wear a cute skirt or shorts with these, pants should be tucked inside the boots to protect the skin, as I found out the hard way as the rim of the boots cut into my legs and left scars that are still visible months after.

I was initially hesitant about buying a pair of rain boots at this price, but considering I was unfortunate enough to have a pair that… let’s just say didn’t keep the water out of my shoes, I buckled down and gave these Hunter Boots a try. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE BOOTS. I’m a 10 in Women’s, but easily fit a size 8 in Women’s. You might want to do a size or two down from what you actually wear. I like the short Hunter rain boots because there’s more flexibility in them compared to the taller version. They have that old English charm to them and I have loved them the minute I brought them. They are well worth the money.

Love the aubergine/purple color. Had to order a full size smaller. Be sure to wear socks or knee highs so your feet don't get stuck inside. My large calves just fit. No room to tuck in pants, but at least my feet will be dry!

Love my Hunters -
When my original order for Hunter boots did not work out (my calf is shorter than I thought), I was hoping there would be an alternative. I found this shorter version and they are fun, fun, fun! These actually fit me better not just in height, but they hug my leg for a perfect fit.

Love my new Hunter Wellies. I opted for the short since I had heard reviews regarding the calf area being tight on the originals. The shorts fit my calves and pants perfectly. I ordered a size smaller than my usual (I wear size 10, but ordered size 9) based on other reviews. I was also very happy with this decision. I got the purple ones and think they look good with all colors (black pants, brown pants and denim). These have been great in Chicago's rainy spring weather.

Comfortable, practical, springtime boot -
I got these mainly because I walk and bus to work and in the spring/fall I've trashed some good shoes on rainy days. So I decided it was time to get some comfortable rain boots and these seemed like they would fit the bill. Perhaps they're not as stylish as some others that have cute patterns, but these are definitely more comfortable. I read other reviews stating that these run large, so I ordered down in size and am glad I did. Maybe they're made for wearing really thick socks as they do not have any sort of warm lining (as in, they're great for warm weather, not suitable for winter wear). But I'm wearing them we trouser socks, so I'm glad I ordered down. The arch support is pretty good, though I might just get a pair of drug store inserts to add a little bit more. These are exactly what I was going for: practical, completely waterproof, and comfortable to walk in.

Great Wellies!
Perfect boot for rainy days. Previously I tried the taller Hunter boots, but they felt too tall and therefore not so comfortable. I usually wear a 7.5 but ordered a 7 and they fit just fine. The only issue I've had is they painfully rubbed the back of my calves when I didn't wear long socks. They are fine with long socks or when tucking pants into the boot. I would recommend these boots. They are comfortable, fashionable and practical.

Wellingtons in review -
I’m very pleased with the fast processing, packaging, and product. My only real disappointment was that my "British" boots were Chinese made. I try to avoid Chinese made items whenever possible to support American- or British-made goods. However, I've always wanted a pair of Hunter boots so I'm ignoring the Chinese part. I still think it's a shame though.
The fit was a little big for my size 8 wide foot, but I think a smaller size would be too tight. I'm hoping a lot of sock will get rid of any sliding. Just got to use them outside today in the rain. Felt great and as an English friend of my told me, "They're posh!"

 |  | Dear Zappos Customer Service, You are just great! Thank you for upgrading this order for priority shipping. I also wanted to send a much belated thank you for a service you did for me about a year ago. At the time, my son broke his leg very badly and we needed some "basketball breakaway pants" to put over it so he could go out of the house, as the cast was quite large. We couldn't find them anywhere, but my mother found them on your website. She called to order the pants and when she told you of our situation you sent them immediately on overnight delivery at no charge to us. While that may seem like a small thing to you, it was a HUGE thing to us and we were grateful beyond measure. Thank you for your kindness. I have been a devoted customer, will continue to be and will always recommend you when I can to friends and family. God bless you and I hope your business thrives. Kindly, Allyson T. |  | ~ Allyson T., October 26 2009
