I love these boots. With the rainy weather we are experiencing as of late in Chicago, the Hunter boots are a staple on many of us ladies. And let’s face it, rain boots don't necessarily come to mind when you think of being fashionable but these boots help you stay dry and some what hip. I'm a runner and my calves are a bit larger but these boots fit perfectly, even over jeans. I'm a size 8.5/9 and bought a 9 which fits perfectly. There isn't the support that I usually like in shoes but they are still relatively comfortable. I probably won't walk five miles in them but a mile or two is fine. I'm thinking of getting inserts to add a little cushioning.

Not good if you are looking for a wide calf boot -
I ordered the men's boot because it stated that the calf was larger than the women's and I have a very wide calf. The calf is not wider in the mens boot at all. It felt exactly the same as the women's. I am sure that the quality of the boot is great but I had to return mine and will have to look for something else. Zappos service was great. The boots arrived the next day and I can return them for free.

Awesome -
Although I have lived in Southeast Alaska for eight years (we get 13+ FEET of rain per year), this was my first pair of tall rain boots. I need something to splash in deep puddles with my nearly 3-year-old, and to take on our beach combing excursions! Most everyone I know has a pair of Xtra Tuffs, and I think they're just plain ugly ... so I settled on this much-recommended alternative. They are very comfortable, I love the color choices (I got red, and it is quite subdued -- the picture made it seem like a WHAM color, but it's really not). I found that these boots, at least for me, are true to size.

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.

Can't Beat The Comfort of Hunters!
While I had a problem with the first order for the Hunters, Zappos did an awesome job of rectifying it. These are terrific boots. I, being from Scotland where they originate, have worn them for years, and I was delighted that Zappos have them. I have Hunters in pink and floral and then the hard core work boots. All are incredibly comfortable and endlessly hard wearing. They don’t come any better than this brand!

Wellies are Wonderful!
I got these 17" diameter Wellies since my calves are super big and normal boots never fit me. While I can't fit my boot cut jeans inside, my work pants and skinny jeans fit inside. And they were warm enough during the recent crazy New York snow. Plus I love how high up they go so nothing splashes on my pants. Definitely worth the investment!

I love my boots! Be sure to order a size smaller because they do run large. I ordered them with visions of traipsing through muddy fields, but have found they performed very well throughout the winter on snowy, salty city sidewalks, too. My feet were moderately warm and impervious to snow and moisture. And they are indeed great in mud. Caveat - a friend tried wearing my boots, but discovered the boot shafts were too tight for her normal size calves. My cricket calves are fine in them.

For women too -
Great, classic boots. Couldn't find my size in the women's version so went for these, and love them. Super comfortable, just the right height (I'm 5'11" and "knee high" boots almost never are...), awfully cute. I erred on the small side and they are still big (and quite wide) but I'm keeping them to accommodate heavy socks.

Hunter Green Wellington Boots - Long Term, Good Investment -
I finally had to replace a pair of Hunter green Wellington boots after more than 20 years of reliable service (one of the soles cracked). It's great to have dry feet again and hope these boots are just as durable. Also, kudos to the Zappos service department. They were extremely helpful over the phone in determining the right size (U.S. conversion from British sizes) and accommodating with the shipping terms in case the fit was off.

Top Quality Boot, Amazing Service -
My husband mentioned at the last minute that he would like to have a pair of "Wellies" for Christmas. I found these and ordered them, figuring they would be a late gift. Two days later they arrived in time for Christmas, perfect fit, great support, he loves them!

Great boots!
As someone who grew up in England, when you bought waterproof boots, this was the natural choice - everyone there wears them. Now my two sons wear them too. I am just getting to the point where I am considering replacing the pair I have worn for the last 25 years, since the tread is getting a little worn - although I can still wade through shin-deep puddles without even a trace of a leak. How many other boots can you say that about!

Hunter Wellies!!!
As a Brit born and raised in London England, I must say that I miss certain things from my dear homeland and one of the many things I'm talking about are my Hunter wellies! This is where good old Zappos comes in. Not only do they have everything anyone could possibly need at unbeatable prices but they have Hunter wellies that are the best price. I have never seen them this cheap anywhere and free shipping too. How can you beat that! Hunter wellies have always been the best quality you can buy. If there good enough for our Royal family, then they must be good! So if your a Brit like myself, a Royal follower or you want to make a fashion statement like 'Kate Moss' in her black Hunters plus you want a good quality product, then Hunter Wellies are for you! Good job Hunter wellies and good job Zappos!Hats off to you all and Happy New Year! UK GIRL IN USA ☺

Great Red Rubber Boots!
Red rubber boots for men? Yes, indeed! I've had these for 2 years, never had a more comfortable pair, and have gotten some favorable comments from both men and women! I wear an 8, got an 8, and the fit was perfect. Also, they are surprisingly light on feet for rubber boots. I would recommend Hunters to anyone, they are well worth the price.

These shoes fit very comfortably and accommodate my orthotic! I never thought I would find a warm, leather, waterproof boot to fit an orthotic--these do. They tend to be slightly wide for me, but the box toe is very roomy. I just got them and wore them through deep puddles--they are perfect for the wet winter and walking my dog. I am very pleased with them and they are not that clunky looking (only slightly so).

A great looking boot. Fit is great. I'm between a 10 and 10.5 US men’s and so the US10/UK11 is a great fit.

Great boots -
Purchased these boots for my daughter in college to help her get through the Winters in Syracuse New York. She had UGG Boots and they got soaked and salt stained, her feet were wet most of the time. These are perfect; water proof, warm when worn with the "Wellie Socks" in the Winter and dry feet in the Spring rains.
