Customer Reviews Hunter Classic Original Tall

I love my Aubergine Hunter Rain Boots! Can a rain boot be sexy? If so, this is the sexiest one out there. They look cute with everything. I wear a 7 1/2-8 and I got a size 8; they fit perfectly. I also recommend the fleece welly socks; they look great and make the boot much warmer on cold days. You won't regret this purchase!

I bought my first Hunters several years ago, a pair of the bottle green color. I'm a women's 10.5, so the Hunter 10 fit perfectly. I took the plunge and ordered the aubergine in a 10, but Hunter's sizing must have changed in the last few years. The calf was tighter, and the footbed length was much shorter. They were less roomy all around. I'd like to try an 11, but Zappos doesn't stock the women's colors in that size.

I have been reading the reviews about the size and decided to go to the store and try the boots on before ordering just to make sure I order the right size. I usually wear size 9.5 or 10 and size 9 in these boots, my toes were touching the end with very thin socks. I decided to go with size 10 which ended up working out perfectly as long as I wear my Smartwool socks. When I received the boots in Chocolate, the color is very neutral and really goes with everything including black leggings, jeans, etc. They are, however, not a fashion statement for me so I have no intention to wear them with skirts, etc. It took me a while to get used to the boots as they are large in the ankle and calf area on me even after I tuck my pants in. It took me a while to get used to walking in them and now I love them. I am 5'10" and they fall a couple of inches below my knee and it's perfect. I think they look nice (especially if you're tall) and very practical for Seattle's rainy days.

So glad that I finally got these boots! Love them! Got the merlot color which is a great alternative to black, but still neutral. I did order a size down...normally a 6.5 or 7 and ordered the 6 and they fit well with the Hunter Welly Socks. I have a wide foot and these work for me. The Socks are too cute and a must have companion purchase! Recommended!

I ordinarily wear a size 8 shoe. The size 8 in this boot was large on me. I now own a fabulous looking boot in size 7, which I can comfortably wear with the fleece Hunter wellie socks.

I freaking love these boots, though I have to admit, when I first pulled them out of the box I thought, "Boy am I ever going to look like a goober in these." You know, like a perpetual fisherman (or fisherwoman). My husband made fun of me when he got home and saw me in them, too. I got them in the chocolate color, so instead of looking like fun wellies, they can easily be mistaken for nerdy-looking irrigation boots. \r\n\r\nBut no one was laughing when we took our dog for a walk and I could walk right through snow drifts and puddles of mud - I even went and stood in the river for a few minutes to really put them to the test - and they held up - not a single leak. And snow just slides right off them. They are bionic, I\'m telling you. I also wore them for a day of shopping. My husband was convinced my feet were going to be sore and blistered by the end of the day, but I didn\'t have a single complaint - though they aren\'t really padded or cushioned at all, they are very comfortable.\r\n\r\nAnd them being nerdy looking is arguable. I do see the dorky side of them, but I also think they\'re pretty sexy cause they\'re tall and slim. And from the first day I started wearing them I got tons of compliments, so they can\'t be too bad. Put the look and the utility together and you have a sweet, satisfying pair of boots.\r\n\r\nThey do run big, but in my boot-buying experiences I\'ve learned that boots in general are made a bit bigger so that you can wear boot socks with them. And since these don\'t have much insulation, you\'re going to want to wear thick, warm socks with them if you live in a cold area. If I\'d bought them to wear as summer fishing boots, I\'d probably go down a whole size.\r\n\r\nThey are thin in the calves, but I\'ve got pretty average-sized calves I think, and I can still tuck my jeans into them comfortably (and I love it. I hate having wet-bottomed jeans). \r\n\r\nAnd finally, a little shout-out to Zappos. I bought these on a Wednesday evening with standard shipping. On Thursday, I had an email saying they were going to expedite them and that they would ship sometime that day. Friday morning, I had my shipping tracking number - I went straight to UPS.com and saw that they were already out for delivery! I know that Zappos frequently, if not always, does that for its customers, but here\'s the amazing part. Are you ready? I live in Wyoming and we were in the middle of a nasty snow storm. All the roads leading into and out of town were closed. Whenever there\'s a storm like that, all these semi-trucks get stranded and they\'re everywhere you look. Out of my window I could see a Fed-Ex truck that didn\'t move until Friday afternoon. So how did UPS get my boots here so quick? I don\'t know. It\'s magic. My Hunter boots + Zappos\' AWESOME customer service + UPS....brings a tear to my eye.

These are great, well made boots. I am from the UK and had a pair there which lasted 15 years! They are comfortable,well made, true to size (they allow for thick socks) so buy your regular size and are of course the stylish de rigueur for wet dog walks. Zappos have a great price and were, as usual, delivering to the door practically as you click \'buy\'.Fantastic service.

I was visiting my Dad in Iowa. The only place to get rain boots would have been WALMART !!! Yuck!! I ordered them from Zappos and they came the next day and I was warm and dry for my high school reunion weekend. Zappos Rocks!

Love these boots. If you are short, they will probably be too tall for you (I'm 5'11 and they fit me just fine). The calf area is kind of small, but works just fine with skinny jeans! I love these boots!

Fantastic boots for rain. They look cute too! With the liners these are much warmer, though not warm enough to be snow boots.

I am so happy I finally got these. They are very versatile and have worn them a lot this fall for various activities: football games, boy scout campout, etc. With the liners they were warm enough. I was worried they would make my feet sweaty, but hasn't been a problem. I did order the merlot at first and returned them; they look a lot less red than the online picture, mostly they are brown. Got the black in their place and love them!

Super fast shipping was much appreciated! These have been perfect for taking my dog on long walks on a dirt trail. Very comfortable! I got the chocolate color; however, sometimes it looks like a dark gray with all the self protective wax. I don't mind it, but it's something to keep in mind.

These boots are great! Not only fashionable, but functional! Boot fits true to size. They say it runs big, but my experience is that they do not, and are true to size. A must for your wardrobe!

I noticed a lot of people wearing these boots in the county that I live in and called my 22 year old daughter in Boston and asked her if she wanted a pair. I ordered them in the color she requested; they came within a matter of days and she loves them. She likes them so much I decided to order the Hunter socks from Zappos.com made especially for the boots for the cold, snowy winters in Boston.

I'm was exhibiting my artwork on a rainy day when this woman walked by with her Hunter boots. I knew I had to have them, she looked so casual chic on that miserable day because of her boots. I love them. They fit perfectly to size and my heel never slips out; they hug my calves just enough so my skinny jeans can fit. A great investment I will enjoy for years, unlike those crazy-patterned, ill-fitting rubber boots.

My boots came in a timely fashion. I couldn\'t decide on black or green so ordered both, knowing how easy it was to return the boots I didn\'t want. The return worked perfectly and I have had plenty of use out of my new rain boots. Thank you Zappo\'s

If you want it, Zappos has it. They have an unbelievable selection of all of the high end brands, in all colors, sizes, widths, etc. You pay full retail, but no shipping. Merchandise arrived the next day! Wow! Not such a bad deal! Go Zappos!

Great boots! I am only 5' 2" and they are tall, so you might want to consider the shorter version.

My Hunter rainboots came in the mail quickly and were packaged well. I was so very pleased with the fit, the color and the quality of the boots. I know they will last me many years and look forward to using them for next years camping season. I have a nice rainsuit but always got wet feet--no more!! They come just below my knees so there will be no puddle that I cannot forge! Thank you for your very prompt service and good quality products.

I'm not going to lie, I was suspicious of claims that the boots ran big, but indeed I ordered my regular size (7) and put them on with thin socks and they were about half a size too large. Works perfectly for thick socks or the fleece welly inserts, though, which are necessary with these boots in colder weather. I don't think I have particularly large calves, but I did think the calf portion was a bit snug at the very top (plenty of room through the ankle and lower calf, though, so I was able to assure myself that at least I don't have cankles). I can squeeze skinny jeans into them, but not regular ones. On the bright side, they are definitely waterproof. Some other brands leak at the seams, but these don't have seams so your feet will not ever get wet. They're worth every penny for that. I will also compliment Zappos on their shipping methods. I ordered them standard shipping and they gave me a free overnight shipping upgrade, which was awesome. I've rarely ever gotten anything that fast from a retailer before. Bonus points for how quickly my order arrived!

I really like these boots. I bought them to wear to an apple orchard and they were perfect. I have also worn them to a Penn State football game where there was unusually early inclement weather. I walked around the large campus all day and the boots were very comfortable. They are also warm, although I would not recommend them as true winter boots for very cold weather. The style is great, best to wear with skinny jeans, not flared leg. I also found them to run true to size. I did try a larger size as I have larger calfs but that proved too big and I went with my normal size. I have the pumpkin color which is quite nice and functions as a neutral.

I love my Hunters! I bought them in aubergine as a birthday present for myself and am very happy with the purchase. They are perfect for rainy NYC days. I used to hate leaving my apartment in the rain, but I no longer have any issues; in fact, I actually look forward to the rain because I have a reason to wear my Hunters. Color: I thought the aubergine was too dark at first (they seemed nearly black), but I think it must have just been the lighting. When I wore them out, they were the perfect shade of deep purple. It's actually a wonderful neutral. Sizing: I typically wear a size 7 (though I have a couple of shoes in 6.5), and the size 6 Hunters are perfect.

I've loved the look of these boots for a few years now, but had resisted buying them due to the price. I finally gave in and am so glad that I did! These boots are fantastic: comfortable, not too bulky or heavy, and well-made. My only regret is not purchasing them sooner! I typically wear a size 7/37 and the size 6 fits perfectly.
