Customer Reviews Hunter Huntress

The wide calf version of Huntress is not hugely different from the regular version, but is perfect for people like my daughter who is an athlete. About ½-¾ bigger in the heel, toe box and shaft. The difference allows her to step into them easily without sitting down to tug them on. My daughter is a very average build, just particularly muscular in the legs. Using the Hunter boot socks makes a big difference as well. They fill up the extra spaces created. My size stars for this product reflect what Hunter intends the wide calf to be. Order your regular Hunter size, which is pretty true to your regular shoe. My daughter wears a 7½ or 8 shoe, she wears an 8 Hunter. These are great shoes, the green is the traditional Hunter color and most versatile.

I bought these boots for my daughter; she needed boots that were waterproof for taking photos in the wetlands. She loves these boots, keep her feet warm and dry and sized correctly.

Love the Hunter Huntress. Just a little wider in the calf makes all the difference.

I love my new rain/snow boots! I would definitely recommend the huntress, because I am 5'4 and when I read about the Hunter original. Everyone complained about the boot hitting their knee if you were short and also not having enough room in the calf. So I decided to go with the huntress! And I LOVE them! I am a runner...my calves are not big but they are a little muscular and with stuffing my jeans or pant leg into the boot on top with my wellie socks! (Yes I bought them also, and they are great paired with them, def keep your toes warmer with) there is no way I can imagine that I would fit into the original hunter with all that clothing material. Oh yeah and I am an 8 1/2 and i went with an 8, and they fit perfectly with still a little wiggle room. Also I got the welly socks in a medium not the large like it recommends, and there is still room in the sock! I got my huntress in black, and it goes with everything, dress it up or play it down, so comfy, the heel and sole everything, I love them, and can definitely be seeing myself using them till the end of time, never will go out of style, so durable and well made! thank you Zappos! You never disappoint me!

I am so happy with my new boots. The extra room on the top allows me to tuck in my jeans. I might add a small cushioned insole to give me a little more support and keep my feet warm when it gets cold out. I just love the look.

Amazing. Zappos totally surprised me in a time where customer service is low (ask for a size in a store and the sour salesperson replies with no I "think" that's all we have, don't even bother to check) anyhow Zappos nailed it. I ordered them, they don't ship to Canada so I was so sad but I was able to work it out with a USA friends address so yay! Then I read reviews about them fitting big and I was so disappointing because it was going to be a huge hassle to send them back cause of the no send to Canada issue. I called a couple days after they were ordered and Zappos was amazing. No problem, they returned my order and sent a half size smaller than I normally take (fit perfect) and upgraded me to VIP just cause without prompting so I would get them faster than I would of with my original order. I. Love. Zappos. Outstanding service.

Calf is very wide and does not look right. Rain would certainly get into the boot. Am returning for the standard hunter boot. Also, about a size too big for the foot. Pretty though.

These boots are fabulous. I have a bit of a bigger calf and these fit beautifully. I typically wear a 8, sometimes a 7.5. I bought the 8 first and they were huge! The 7 fits perfectly.

Finally, a mucking boot that I am able to tuck my pants or rain gear into. Will put an insole in for comfort. Of course, Zappos is the best!

I ordered these boots because I was going to be attending a wedding outside on a rainy, cold weekend. After reading the reviews I chose the huntress because my calves are about 15" and was afraid the other hunter boots might be too snug. These fit perfect! I bought the fleece socks with them and they kept my feet warm and dry. I would buy them again.

Finally a rain boot that fits my calves. I had ordered the orginal shorts but they just didn't work out. these are a little big but aren't too bad with thick socks. Got a compliment from my man friend on them and normally he says i have no fashion sense which is good.

I've spent a long time trying to decide which rain boots to buy. As a New Yorker, I see Hunter's everywhere but I never knew why so I decided to try them anyways and I'm so glad I did. I debated on getting the original or the huntress because I am 5 foot 3, 135 pounds, so I have thicker calves. The Huntress is perfect because they look just as great as the original but are roomy so I can wear any type of pants with them and thick socks without worrying about it being too tight. Because they are more roomy than the original, they are easier to take on and off too. Unfortunately, I accidentally bought navy instead of black but I decided to keep them because the navy is still really nice. Love these shoes! There's a reason why everyone in New York wears them!

Love! I like that I can wear them with jeans, leggins, cords etc and don't have to worry with them being too tight like the original boot. Due to my bigger calves I was limited to just leggins with the original boots. Great boot for bigger calf ladies! Order a size down...I wear a 9 in most other shoes/boots but wear an 8 in these!

I love my Hunters! They look great, keep my feet dry in all sorts of conditions, and the slightly shorter length found with the Huntress fits me well. I will say that the Huntress and Originals have a considerably different fit, so be sure to try on different sizes of both if you aren't sure which is for you.

I'm normally an 8.5, ordered an 8, and they fit great! I also have massive calves, to the extent that no other knee high galosh has ever fit my legs, and these are great! A bit of wiggle room, but not too much. I was able to wear these with thick socks and jeans. If you have thin calves, these will probably be very large on you.

Love these! Was worried about ordering boots online because I always have a hard time fitting my calves. These were amazingly perfect. Bought them in Hunter Green the original so they're not shiny. They're perfect for rainy/muddy days and without the shine they attract a little less attention to my not so small feet. Great height, great color, great fit. Buy them, you won't regret.

I love these! I have both the Original Hunter boots and the Huntress. These are much more accommodating for someone with an athletic calf. I prefer the chunky sole of the Originals, but the Huntress more than makes up for it in the roomier calf area. I am a consistent 6.5 shoe size so I purchased the size 6 and they fit perfectly. Plenty of room to wear Wellie Socks with them. I find myself hoping for rain or cold weather now!

Very pleased with these! I'd been lusting after Hunters forever but the Original would not accommodate my calves. The Huntress is perfect. I wear a size 9.5 and went with a 9. They're a little roomy but I figure I'll get some welly socks and that will eat up the extra room. Very pleased!

I have a circumference of 16 inches on my calves and have always had issues finding the right rain boot. I purchased these Hunter boots, knowing that I might have to send them back. It was a pleasant surprise to finally find a pair of boots that fit me well! The natural rubber accommodates the shape of my leg and the preferences of my foot. Definitely, a good investment!

I love these boots! The wider calf is perfect for us athletic girls or anyone with over a 14" calf! I found a size down was the perfect way to go, even with thick socks it fits comfortably. I have worn these in the rain and they are super comfy and look so cute. I love my original hunter green ones, but the other colors are cute too!

I have the regular Hunter rain boots, but they were a little snug in the calf for my daughter. I got this style instead, and they fit like a charm. Also, in winter, with a thick sock or the inserts, they also work as a really good snow boot. Definitely worth the money.

Love these boots! I got the black and their a little too large in the calf, but the original Hunter boots were a touch snug in the calf. The only thing that would have made me like the boots more was if they made them the same height as the original. The Huntress is a bit shorter...just because a woman has larger calves, doesn't mean their short! Now if we could only get Hunter to make the Etsy in a larger calf...that would be great! Overall, great boot and I love this website. Zappos is great all around!

Excellent, attractive product. These boots fit great and were just the right height for my 5'3" daughter.

Big rain storm came through our area in No. California. I work on 8 acres of land which include 100+ year old buildings, cemetery and all kinds of ground. I finally decided to buy the best rain boot made..The Hunter and I was right. These boots perform just like they were made by the original maker. Slip on like a glove and wear well all day long. I bought the huntress because of my muscular calves. If you want the best, you won't be disappointing. Do your homework on size. Love my green wellies!! P.S. Zappos was great to deal with.

I ordered the Original, regular shipping, and Zappos sent it next day. It was a little too tall for my 5'3 frame (hit me right at the back of the knee), so I ordered the Huntress to compare. The Huntress is the perfect height for me, so I'm keeping that pair. (My pair has the Hunter label, not Huntress as others have mentioned.) I did not have a problem with either boot being too tight around the calves, and I do not have particularly skinny calves. I normally wear a size 9 and went with an 8. The Original is VERY roomy, while the Huntress is not quite as roomy. I'm sticking with the 8 Huntress as it will still allow me to wear a thick pair of socks comfortably. Nice quality boot, great Zappos service.
