Was very thankful people had written reviews regarding the size issue. I went with the advice to go down a size from my regular size 6 to a 5 -even though I was hesitant- and it was a perfect fit! I have worn them for several long days when the weather was rainy and never found them to be anything but a dream. Plenty of room to tuck in jeans too.

I am going to Alaska this summer and high waterproof boots are on the packing list. After reading reviews about the Hunter boots, even though they are a little more expensive than others, I chose them. I wasn't sure which size to order because the reviews said they ran large, so I ordered both sizes. I wear a size 9 and that is the one I kept. They are flattering and comfortable. I also purchased the socks that go with them and in addition to being warm, they enhance the look. I have never ordered from Zappos before and their return policy made it easy for me to take a chance. I will definitely order from them again.

I love my rain boots!!! I was nervous about choosing the right size after reading other reviews. I followed the advice on the sizing, and my boots fit perfectly! I ordered a US 7, one size smaller than my regular sneaker size. I have plenty of room for wool knee socks. They are so great! I commute via bus and train, and the boots are even comfortable walking several city blocks. I could wear them all day. I ordered merlot, and they match everything. Thank you Zappos! The service was immediate and friendly. Even in the past when I have made returns, I have received stellar service.

LOVE THESE BOOTS! I actually look forward to rain now! After reading the other reviews I ordered a size smaller than I usually wear and I am happy I did, they fit great! They fit well around the calf but too snug to tuck my pants in.

These are the best rain boots I have ever owned. They are tough, have a good tread, and despite my having large calves, they fit great. So far they have proved well in snow and rain.

Old School Classic Prep - I have been eyeing these boots for a while, but could not justify the price when I had perfectly good working boots in the closet. So when my boots suffered a tiny mishap, I was quick to order these as a replacement. I love these boots. They are classic, clean, preppy, woodsy... the list goes on. My only complaints are they have a low arch which does not provide a ton of support and being petite (5'3), the shaft rises a bit too far at the knee and gets in the way when sitting in the car and driving.

Boy, do I love my Hunters - I'd been looking for a good sturdy rain boot for a long time and had been eyeing Hunter's, but was a little put off by the price. I can be pretty hard on shoes and I knew those cheap, flimsy rain boots didn't stand a chance, so I bit the bullet. The week I got my Hunter's, it rained every day for the next 5 days so I had plenty opportunity to take on the big puddles. I do like more padding and support, so I put in really good arch supports and that keeps them comfortable for hours... Love them, Love them, Love them.

I just ordered a pair of black Hunter Original's. I am 5'4 and have fairly muscular calves. I usually have a hard time getting knee-boots to fit over my calf but these are perfect!! I read previous reviews about ordering a size down. I normally wear a solid 7 but I decided to order a 6. They fit perfect with a pair of regular socks and I believe I could even wear a bit thicker pair if I wanted. I am super pleased with my new Hunter's. Hope my review helps!

LOVE the look - but not the most comfy boots - Ok so how awesome is it to be able to walk right thru a puddle instead of going around it? It's thee best - if you don't have a huge blister on your right heel because Hunter doesn't make half sizes and your boot is just the tiniest bit too big. Wear 2 pairs of socks, or get some Dr. Scholl's insoles, and they should fit better. Enjoy!

Love them! Fantastic! Grew up with these boots as a kid and still love them as an adult. They're perfect for the unpredictability of Chicago weather year round and the wine color is gorgeous!

Great Rainboot! I never thought I would give in to ever wearing rain boots but they are great for working in the yard or running errands in the rain. They are sleek and TALL shaft so very fashionable. They are lined with nylon or something so the inside isn't just more rubber. Check out the Welly Socks that go inside! Super warm and cozy.

Quality? These boots are great, even in a warm climate & have so many purposes when wanting to keep your feet clean & dry....taking the dog to run in a wet field, pressure washing around the house, hosing the pool deck, spraying chemicals on the yard, digging and planting. I have a high instep, bought a size larger than I normally wear & have no problem slipping them on and off. Pricey but worth it. Have purchased gift pairs for my son who's in the TX Hill Country & a granddaughter who's headed to college in VA. The Brits got it right!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these boots. I agree that you should order a whole size smaller than you would normally wear. I am a size 9 and ordered an 8. Fits perfect with plenty of room for the hunter socks or really thick wool socks for the winter. Zappos service was outstanding. Originally ordered the dolphin, but when they arrived they were not as dark as they appeared online. Went through the return process and ordered my new color and they were on my doorstep the next evening. Now if it would just rain so I can wear them.

I purchased the Hunter in navy. I normally wear 8-8.5 and after reading the very helpful aforementioned reviews, chose the 8. They fit perfectly. Of course it rained the next day! And wore them all day walking and were very comfortable. They have room for jeans to be pushed down into the boot leg. Your feet are comfortable--kept me warm and dry. Plus, your foot fits in a Hunter, so that it not sliding around in the boot...that's key. Plus, they arrived faster than even promised (free). What a delight it is shopping with Zappos.

Love these boots! I originally purchased the Hunter original in aubergine, but it was too purple, so I switched to Merlot, which is a beautiful deep red (I called on a Friday to get a switch, and the new boots arrived that Monday. Amazing!) I do not have super-skinny calves, and the boots fit perfectly, even with the fleece socks. The boots were a bit wobbly around the ankle without the fleece inserts, but it's not an impediment, and I love them. They will come in handy with the harsh fall and winter conditions in northern Illinois. Wish I could get a second pair in green!!

Best Wellies ever! Cutest rain boots made, they are very tall on the leg which looks great with skirts. I did order a size down as recommended and they are a perfect fit.

Hunter Original - Like most people, I love these boots. I had been coveting a pair of the aubergine in size 37 for a long time because I had tried one on in the store and that size seemed right. I wear a 6 or 6.5 in sandals and a 7 (or 37) in most shoes; very occasionally a 7.5. I finally got them from Zappos, and even though the foot was okay (although it seemed snugger than I remembered), the calf was too tight if I tried to tuck in pants and just generally a little too close fitting in the calf. My calves are just over 14 inches at the widest point; I guess they're muscular, although I have a pretty small build. I hate shoes on me that look kind of long in the foot, so I tend to buy shoes that are on the fitted end of the spectrum rather than leaving extra room. So, then I got the 38, and it's a touch longer of course, but the calf fits much better. I also switched colors. I thought the aubergine was perfect for a long time, but when I got them, it seemed a little too dark (too close to black), so I got the "Dolphin" (grey) and I like it a lot. I want Hunter to additionally make the following colors: medium blue (neither royal nor navy), kelly green (not hunter or lime), and clear. Just kidding - no clear.

Love them - I highly recommend these boots. They are well worth the money. The rubber is soft allowing you to walk in them all day. I've worn them on long mucky walks, as well as around town with a skirt. They don't have as much arch support as their profile would have you believe, but they are so comfortable, it wasn't an issue for me. These handsome boots will outlive all of the rubber boot trends and remain well loved classics.

Hunter Boots - I'm a big fan of these boots! I've been searching for a while for the "perfect" pair. They are excellent for rainy or even snowy weather. They are very comfortable and I get tons of compliments on them. Just be sure to order a full size smaller than normal. I usually wear a 7 and ordered a 6. Feels great! Only complaint is that the rubber seems to get dirty easily... the color seems to become dull over time. I heard you should clean them with pledge, but haven't tried it yet.

I have had original wellies for years and finally needed to order new ones. On a whim, I ordered the silver b/c they looked like so much fun! I admit I’m a traditionalist and live in my wellies and Barbour jacket, but the silver was just too bright for me. I think they would be adorable in the city, but not for my barn mud and muck. I’m sending them back for the Navy, but would highly recommend these to anyone who needs dry feet and comfort. Just make sure that if you order the silver, you are ready for BRIGHT sterling silver! Oh... and Zappos is the best ever. So easy to order, return, and replace. Makes shopping online with them the only way to go.

It's a great rain boot! They come in whole sizes only and recommend ordering up a size. I'm a consistent 8.5, so I ordered the 9s, but they were way too big. The 8s are perfect.

Good boot - I love the look of this boot. So fun for spring. The only downside is that the calves are tight for me - I have larger calves. I kept them anyways, but they are a bit tough to slip off. Socks and a strong tug make it easier. I love them though and they are fun & comfy. Also, it is true that they run big, so order the next size down.

Craving Hunter Boots - I love keeping my feet dry and looking interesting at the same time. My (black) Hunter boots look fine under short skirts or over jeans. I can walk through puddles like a kid. These live up to their reputation; waterproof, comfortable and nifty. Follow the recommendations and order the size just below yours (mine 8 1/2 - Hunter boots a great fit in size 8). I'll be wearing these for years.
