Customer Reviews Hunter Hunter Original

I wish that they fit a bit more closer; meaning it was a bit wobbly and had too much free space. I guess the larger the size, the more it becomes not-too-cute.

I love these boots! I have two pairs myself and bought these for my boyfriend. He looks super hot in them and I now make excuses to take the dogs muddy places or work in the garden!

I was disappointed when I received these boots. They looked nice, but the size 8 was very snug around my calves - there was definitely no room to tuck by pants in. They were extremely difficult to remove - each time, I needed the assistance of someone else. I exchanged them for the Hunter Original Shorts, and they fit perfectly. Since they are 6 inches shorter than the Talls, they fit my calves, and there is still room to tuck in my jeans. If anyone is having problems fitting the tall in the calf area, try the short.

Boot is very comfortable and I love the look. However, the flap on the side is a little flimsy (since it's made of rubber), and a part of it came off after a few times of wearing it.

As I have heard good reviews about this product I was disappointed that they did not fit. The top is so snug that I had to return the women's for a men's and they were still too tight. I am 6 ft. and do not have very large calves so beware to those of you who do.

I thought I was buying a British product so was a little disappointed to see that the boots were made in China. This is my first pair so I don't know how they would compare to the British Hunters.

Excellent rain boots, the absolute classic. Fit just a half size larger, and since they only come in whole sizes, just order the next size up if you normally wear a half size. You'll like the extra room for thick socks and to be able to tuck in your pants.

Overall, these boots are good. Perfect for wet weather. They are a little big in the foot, but I wear heavy socks with them. They are not warm, so if it's under 35 degrees, you will need extra socks anyway. For me, they are a little tight in the calf. The wellie socks didn't work for me, but might for someone with smaller calves.

These boots are great, although I expected the boot would conform to my foot more tightly.

Love the boots. They were a real hit at Sundance. Unfortunately, a couple of tight squeezes into upholstered banquettes at oh so chic restaurants in NYC and both buckle clasps ripped off. The plastic attaching them was no match for the seating. $45 later and sensible leather buckles have been attached.

Sleek boots, great construction, fairly comfortable. Really save your life during a NY winter. Don't know how I got along without them before. Actually a bit more snug than I expected, which was good. Remember, you'll most likely be wearing 2 socks with these if it's winter, so I had to size up.

I cannot say enough good things about my purchase through Zappos. The order process and follow up were 5 star. I wish I could say the same for the Hunter boots. I have used the Hunter Originals for four decades and have always been impressed with the quality of the materials, craftsmanship, fit and durability of the product. They have always been well worth the extra price that you paid for them. I fear that this opinion will no longer be the case. Hunter has moved their manufacturing from Scotland to China and the care in assembly has suffered. On one pair that I purchased, the heel was not properly centered and was twisted approximately 8 degrees out of plumb with the sole of the boot. The construction no longer is the laid up construction on fabric backed neoprene that I have come to know and love. They now appear to be a molded product and although still comfortable, I suspect that they have changed to an injection molded polymer. What it is, I do not know as they no longer seem to be proud enough of it to identify the material. The fit seems okay but the lasts used to make the boots are now the generic lasts common on boots produced in China. They never seem to have quite the same feel as the European lasts. In short, for the inflated price that is charged for the Hunter boots, they have made too many changes to downgrade the quality for my taste. I feel that they can no longer be called "Original" Hunters. These will probably be the last ones that I buy.

Great boots, even better with the liners / fleece socks! These are an all year must!

Very nice boots. Big enough for your real size. Always wear with comfortable socks. Never use to walk long distances, it could be exhausting for your feet. Nice style and good looking.

Rubber boots, what more can you say? I made the mistake of wearing them all day, I came home with cold feet even with the socks. They will keep your feet dry.

I always wanted these boots (not the price). My wife had a pair for years and wears them all year round. NY has a lot of snow this winter, and I think there are more wintry weather coming. I finally order them from Zappos, and surprisingly they sent these boots to me 2 days air. I got them and wore them right away. My wife loves them, my friends love them, my coworker loves them, even people we just met in a business trade show asked me where to get them, and most importantly, I love them! The price is a little high, but I understand it. It sounds a little crazy, but I am looking for other colors already.

I love these boots! Have worn them frequently during the recent round of wet weather. However, beware those elastic straps holding the buckles - have only had them a month and the elastic has broken and I have lost a buckle. And these fit my calves perfectly and I was not wearing them pulled completely tightly! Thus, though I love the style and fit, I have to rate it low for the poor quality of that portion of the boot.

Fabulous rain boots! I have wanted to wear them ever day since they arrived.

My husband and I each own a pair of these for walking our dog in the Chicago winters. They are solid, durable and keep my feet dry. I am a 7 1/2 and got a 36, but my husband has really big calves so we had to go one size up for him. These are not lined in any way so if you're using them for snow vs rain, you will need a thick pair (or two) of socks.

Crappy, weak boots, made in China. Yes, these will last you slightly longer than a pair of $50 wellies... but only slightly. It's been about a year since I bought mine, and the heels have almost completely worn through (and I mostly wear them on grass in the park!). After doing some research on Hunter's own page, I found out that the Hunter wellies made today no longer use any of the same processes as they once did. They are made using cheaper materials and manufactured in China. Yes, this is happening everywhere, with many companies, and while I think it's disgusting that they fired hundreds of Scottish workers just to be able to exploit Chinese workers, another important reason NOT to buy these boots is that they wear through after a year. My boots that wore out are the Hunter originals, but I'm posting this on all Hunter boots because the issue is the same for all. I believe both Le Chameau and Aigle boots are still made in Europe, and they're not that much more expensive!

Awesome! The customer service is legendary! I was looking for this item and the sold out in the womens so since they were unisex we were able to find in mens and my daughter loved them and they fit perfectly. Customer service was very helpful...I ordered the item 2 days before Christmas and I received the item the very next day.

Bought a pair for my husband and he won't stop wearing them! He says they feel great on his feet and they are easy to take off which makes me happy. No more boot prints in the house.

I got these as a gift for my father-in-law because I have them and love them! Best rain/mud boots ever!

I am so glad I made this purchase! Best money I ever spent. They are comfortable and lite. Get them a size larger if you want to wear them out in the snow for thicker socks.
