These Hunter boots are amazing. I originally ordered the Hunter Original rain boot, but found that the calf circumference was way too tight. Zappos\'s wonderful customer service exchanged these boots for the Huntress boots with no problems and shipped them out to me next day no charge. The Huntress fits me perfectly (I have a 15 1/2 inch calf) with just enough room to tuck in my pants. They look great if a little baggy at the ankle. I was worried they would hit me too low on the shins (I am 5\'7), but they look fine. Really happy with my purchase and they will come in handy during Michigan winters! Thanks Zappos!

Okay, I have not actually worn these yet since I ordered them in the summer, but I think they'll be great for fall/winter/spring. I actually ordered the Huntress in Black in an 8 first (I usually wear and 8 1/2), and then got the green in a 7 to compare sizes, with the intention of returning one of them. The 8 was slightly big, but I knew that with thicker socks and maybe a liner/insole they'd be good. The 7 actually fit with just regular socks if it wasn't so cold outside, plus I ended up loving the green. I just couldn't make up my mind, so I kept both of them! They're very comfortable and fit well, as well as being a classic. Zappos rocks, I'm so happy with the service, and the free shipping and returns is a guarantee that I will always order from them over another company!

Usually, I wear size 8.5, so I ordered size 8 and it is still a little big but not too bothersome. The calf part is quite big, usually, I have to get boots for wide-calves as I run, but not for these. As an advice, one could order at least a full size down, so if you are an 8 or 8.5, you may be able to fit in a 7.

Hunter Huntress...lovely boots! Excellent for wide calves! Female. 5'10. 165 lbs. 9/10 shoe. I have "wide" calves. I recently moved to Chicago. When I started researching rain boots I always came back to Hunter. I have a hard time finding boots that will fit my calves with my jeans. THESE DO. I originally ordered the men's version, those fit snug on my calves. Couldn't really get my jeans in the boot. I returned them with NO problem. So I ordered the Huntress just for fun...and they fit! Like a charm! Couldn't believe it! I want to say (I think) the Hunter Huntress fit because the "shaft" height is shorter then the Original Hunter version (both men's and women's). They really do run a size large so order down a size! The only thing is that the color selection is limited on the Huntress but it’s fine, I love black! I'm really excited for my boots. I hope others find this review helpful and find what they are looking for. Zappos is really great. Love my wellies!

Love 'em - I wear a Euro 38, US 7.5. I bought the 38 and they are just fine. They have room to tuck in my jeans when I am out in the fields with my dogs. They are also great to wear to wet spring soccer games. Spring in Ohio can still be cold. I would suggest the liners, even with wool socks I did get cold. I love my Hunters and plan to get the liners for them. They do have a little extra room in them for the heavier socks and the liners...

Love, love, love these boots!!! After reading the reviews on both the Huntress and the Original boots, I decided to heed the advice and go with the Huntress for the extra room around the calf, and to make sure I could tuck my jeans into the boots (I'm 5'3" and 118 pounds) I also took the advice and ordered a size down, as everyone said they run large. The smaller size fit perfectly, with plenty of room for thicker socks, if necessary. I bought these for a trip to Ireland and wore them every day, they're extremely comfortable - plus they're super cute!!!

Love my new Huntress - Love these boots. They are comfortable and classic and look great. Yes they are pricey but for something that will always be in fashion and will last, it's worth it.

Good as expected - I wear a 9 and ordered a 9; perfect for thick socks as everyone else says. Athletic calves fit well. The thing is that my husband snickered when he saw the "Huntress" logo on the front. It might as well have said Tigress or Cougar or something. Whatever though. Then I ordered some Hunter welly warmers (socks), figuring I could fold them down and have the Hunter logo showing. BUT of course those socks were about 3 inches too tall, so I took them apart at the ankle seams, cut the fabric and will re-sew them so they are shorter. Lots of work for socks that are already really expensive. It would be nice if they just put Hunter on the front instead (although the socks are very cozy.) Or maybe make different socks for the Huntress version.

I first ordered the Hunter Original Boot in a women's size 7...I'm 5'6, weigh 135lbs, wear a 7.5 shoe and would say I have an "average" calf size. The Hunter Originals fit my foot PERFECTLY (even tried on w/ wool socks) and the boots look great, however there was no room to tuck jeans or pants in. These boots would be perfect to wear with a jean skirt or shorts. That said, I want to get a lot of use out of the boots so I ordered the "Huntress" to test those out. MUCH wider around the calf and jeans/pants/tights fit perfectly under the boot. I again order the 7 (being a 7.5) and there's even a little room to spare. I'm going to keep the Huntress and return the Originals, just to get a lot of use out of these boots. Huntress also look more like a "rain boot" whereas the Originals look like a sleek boot. Wish I could afford to keep both! Zappos delivery is super quick too!

Very comfortable. Runs big. I wear a 6.5-7 in a casual or running shoe. I wear a 5.5-6 in a dress shoe. I needed the women’s 5 in this boot. And theres still plenty of room to wear a thick pair of socks with it if I wanted. I chose this style over the original because I am short, 4'11, and the original came up to the back of my knee and was uncomfortable. I also found the original to be too narrow in the shaft. This boot solves these problems for me. I highly recommend. I ordered black and it did come with some white markings on the boot but they wipe off so don't worry. This is my first pair of Hunters but they seem like a very heavy duty, quality shoe. Definitely order down if you are between sizes, and a full size down if you are at an even size.

I love this style. I wish they were as long as the original hunter boot, but otherwise I am thrilled with the purchase. They are wider in the calf than the original, which is a huge plus as I can tuck my pants into them. Also bought the wellie socks Hunter makes- they go perfectly with the boots.

Who loves the sun? I do, but I also love these boots... so much that I don't mind rainy days anymore. I'm 4'10" with big calves and have terrible problems finding tall boots that fit. These are perfect! Finally, a pair of boots I can tuck my jeans into! They're the right height (just below the knee) and have a nice, classic look. Plus, great traction on rain-slick surfaces. If only they came in fun colors like the Classic Hunter rain boot...

Much wider calf than original Hunter boots - I originally ordered the original Hunter Wellies and they were very narrow on my calf, hard to fit over jeans. These have just enough extra width that I can stuff my jeans into them, but they don't look ridiculously large and floppy. I love them. If you are a half size, order down a half size... I am a 7.5 and I ordered a 7, they fit perfectly.

Love it! Great fitting wellies! I have pretty big calves that can just barely fit into my "Lady N" hunters but these were roomy enough to tuck my jeans in without a problem. I’m also only 5 feet tall so the shorter shaft height definitely fits more comfortably. I ordered them in a full size smaller (I normally wear a size 7-7 1/2 shoe) but got the Huntress in a 6 and they fit perfectly! Like others who ordered them in black, there were some white streaks/marks on them that didn't quite rub off so the boots look almost a grayish black. All things considered, these were a great buy!

These shoes are soo cute but not at all comfortable. They looked like they would be but they have no padding and I get blisters on my little toes every time I wear them.

Great Boots - Wonderful boots! They are comfortable, but best of all they fit my 'chubby' calves. I even have room to tuck in my pants. A gel arch support and heavy socks fit inside. This is important for me because I have some plantar pain. So far, I've used them only for short (2 mile) walks in the city, but I did not notice any potential problem sites, and have every confidence that they will serve me well on wet days when I walk Hadrian's Wall. I am thrilled that I will have dry feet!

I originally purchased the Hunter boot and after reading reviews for the Huntress, I decided to order it to compare. I am 5'2" and the Huntress is perfect for me. It fits better than the Hunter because it has a shorter shaft height and it will be easier for me to tuck pants into them. I'm normally a 6.5, so I ordered a 6 and will probably need to put in inserts. However, a size smaller would have been too small. Great product. They look great and are a classic boot. They will never go out of style.

GREAT BOOTS EVER!!!!! I LOVE these boots! Big enough for my big calf and they look good! I am so glad that Hunter makes "Huntresses." I purchased the "original" Hunters but they were too tall and too skinny for me, and I ended up returning them. Huntress was just perfect!

GREAT PRODUCT - These are just great, I originally purchased the Original Hunter rain boots from Nordstrom, they fit fine except I could not tuck pants in. I have never thought I had large calfs (maybe I am in denial, haha?)Anyway these are prefect. They arrived overnight & customer service just does not get any better than Zappos. The Nordstrom boots took 10 days to ship, then I had to return them personally to the store; it was a hassle & I don't want to repeat that experience. Now before I buy anything I check Zappos first because I know the process will be smooth. Thanks so much! Jen

These will give you blisters the first few times you wear them, but after you've worn them repeatedly (I wore them every day for a week), they won't be a problem. The platform makes these so comfortable, but because they are PVC your feet may slide around in them a little. Foot Petals may be necessary. If you're looking for a shoe to wear frequently, these may not be good for you. I've been somewhat careful with these, but the patent coating on the PVC still scratches off easily and exposes an unsightly gray plastic. Overall, I love these shoes, but I wish it was a matte black leather instead of patent PVC.

I got these for the wide calf and they fit great. I got a half size smaller as others suggested and find they just fit and can fit my orthotic in the boot for arch support. I think my normal size would have been fine too. I can tuck my jeans (boot cut) into them and there's plenty of room. I imagine if I wanted to be more fashionable I would wear skinny jeans with them, but I really don't care much since I got them for working in the yard and picking my kids up at the bus on rainy days.

Near perfection - I love these boots and look forward to rain/sleet/snow just so I can wear them! They fit my large calves & I can still tuck my pants in them. My only complaint is although they fit well in most places, I notice my heel lifts up & out while walking. I wear thick socks, and it still happens. I imagine these boots probably have a little more ankle room than the originals. That aside, I am still very happy!

Perfect fit - These were the perfect solution to my rather large calf muscles problem. They fit really well and don't look silly. A classic British wellie!

Perfect Wellies - I'd just like to second the many comments about these boots being perfect for shorter girls with larger-than-average calves. I'm 5'4" and my calves are 14.5" around. I never find tall boots to fit me; I always wish they had an extra inch circumference or so. The Hunter boots fit great - even with jeans tucked in. I'm glad I invested in Hunters because now that I've found the perfect boot for me, I want to be able to wear it for years and years to come!
