Customer Reviews Hunter DELETED

Size down or stay with your regular size? Gloss or matte? The quintessential Hunter boot questions. I am typically a size 9 and ordered a size 8 and 9. I was buying these rain boots not only to wear when it rains, but to wear with heavy socks in the winter - our winters are a slushy mess but don't bring heavy accumulations of snow. Given this is the case, I assumed the 9 would be the pair I would wind up keeping because it would probably better accommodate heavy socks. As it turns out, I swam in the 9s. Even two pairs of thick socks didn't help. The size 8 was perfect - they fit perfectly as rain boots with a thin sock and can still accommodate a winter-weight sock. I also found that I preferred the gloss boot. For those like me who might worry about this, they are not too glossy. I have friends who claim the gloss boot "blooms" less too - but only time will tell. I bought a pair of these boots in black and graphite and wound up keeping the graphite. The color is a fantastic medium gray - a great neutral and a little more fun than an everyday color like black. I've gotten tons of compliments on them and wonder why I waited so long to get these boots. It rains where I live quite a bit and gets muddy and mucky out. In these, my feet stay dry and toasty. They are also a pleasure to walk in and are not heavy like some snow boots. Hopefully, I'll feel that my winter socks or a new pair of welly socks will keep my feet toasty when I wear these during the winter. Highly recommend!

I have been on the fence about purchasing these boots and I am so glad that I got off! I absolutely love these boots! They are so comfortable and I always get so many compliments when I am wearing them! I usually wear a 8½ but I ordered an 8 and they fit perfect. I have muscular calves but I do not feel they are tight at all. These boots are incredible!

Woo hoo! They're here! Now, I just need the rain/snow :-) These boots are adorable with skinny jeans. I got them in the Original Gloss Pillar Box Red, and they couldn't be better! I originally ordered the Original Yellow (no gloss), but when I received them, I noticed there were already some marks on the boots just from being in the box. While I loved the color, I realized that EVERY little mark from walking outside in them was going to show. It would have driven me nuts! So, as always Zappos is AWESOME, and I exchanged them for the red gloss. I wanted a bright color to cheer me up in the rain/snow, and these will definitely do the trick. And, I was able to buy my 3-yr.old a matching red pair... not too often you can buy something that matches your little boy. He loves his, too! I normally wear an 81/2 or 9, and I went with the 9. The 8 did fit BUT not with wellie socks, and I'd like to wear them through the winter. Hope this helps!

Love these boots. I have sort of large calf muscles, and these still fit easily. Did have to go to size 9 (wear 8 1/2), but that's not too much of an issue. Recommend.

I absolutely love my Hunter boots. I am a size 7 and I ordered a 7 (contrary to the advice written in the reviews) and they fit great. They are just large enough to wear with a pair of thick socks and still be comfortable. I ordered the boots in glossy black and the Hunter socks in gray. The combo looks great together and it goes well with many outfits. I am 5'4 inchand about 125lbs. and have thin calves (13 inch circumference). I found the fit around the calves to be good. I can wear the boots comfortably with leggings and skinny jeans (although the skinny jeans tend to bunch up a little at the knee). They are great in the snow and in the rain. Truly water proof. Overall a great bargain for the price. They are very fashionable as well. I have gotten many compliments. Zappos is great as well. I ordered them on a Sunday and received them on Tuesday. Awesome!

Very nice boots and well made. They were too tall for me and hit me at low knee making it uncomfortable for walking. I am 5'-5", so fairly average height for a woman. Thankfully there are shorter shaft sizes available; however, not as many color options. Great product overall, sad to have to return them.

After contemplating whether or not to buy these for over a month, I finally went ahead and purchased the graphite pair. They are so cute, but I wish I would've listened to other reviewers that said they run big. I am a 7.5 but mostly an 8. I decided to go with the 8 instead of 7, so I could wear with thick socks or the boot liners. 8 was too big, and when I walked my foot would slip out. I am returning for the 7, and I hope they will fit great.

I absolutely LOVE these boots. I've worn them all day, been on my feet, and they are still comfortable. I actually look forward to rainy days just so I can wear these adorable rain boots. They are made well, but I agree with others that the calf is narrow so make sure to measure before you buy.

I first ordered the huntress because I thought I had big calf muscles. When they came in, they were really big around my calves but not in a good way. Zappos sent me the original hunter, and they were perfect: plenty of room with leggings, jeggings, and skinny jeans. They also made my legs look longer than the huntress. Also I usually wear a size 8, but I ordered the 7, and they fit perfect.

What a dilemma: order your size or a size down? If you read the reviews on here, you would be, as I was, tempted to order a size down. I normally wear a size 7 and ordered a size 6. Although, the boots fit they were too snug to wear with thick socks. Also, the shaft will be proportionally narrower with a smaller size. The size 6 boots were tough to get out of, and I had to sit down and tug at them to get them off. I prefer a bigger size where you can slip them off, especially if they are wet and muddy. My calves are 13.5 inches. Unless you can point your toe like a ballerina, your foot will get stuck when passing through the shaft. I would recommend going down in sizes if you are in between sizes and have relatively small calves.

These are wonderful rain boots. They are waterproof and comfortable. I have already worn them twice for long walks in the woods with my dog and my feet remained warm and dry. I am 5'4" and normally wear a 7½ or sometimes a 7 and my foot is a bit on the narrow side. The size 7 was perfect. I am not sure why others complained about them being tight in the calf. I am slim with small to slightly muscular legs and the boots are perfect with jeans tucked into the fleece Hunter liners. There is still plenty of room to spare. I have done a couple of 1 mile walks in them in comfort, but they might be a bit heavy for anything more than two miles.

I bought these for my daughter to wear on a trip to New York. She absolutely loved them! Not only did they look great, but she never complained that her feet hurt! We walked everywhere, even in the rain. The only complaint she had was her feet were wet at the end of the day, sweaty feet not rain, she did not wear absorbent socks. They are excellent rain boots! Wear absorbent socks, as there is no air circulation.

Great boot, fit nicely and very attractive. I wear an insole support which makes them very comfortable. Not made for cold weather though, my toes get cold very fast. And a bit hard to get off. Other than that I like these boots quite a bit.

Huge! I was wearing my thickest wool socks and even then, these boots were so big it was laughable. Order a size down - maybe 2!

I love these boots - the color is beautiful and shiny! The size was true to my size. I am going to look into the inserts for some added warmth. Also Zappos delivered before I actually expected. I love Zappos!

These boots are simply amazing. I have had them for a year now (and about 6 months ago bought a pair of navy ones too) and love them to death. I wear them to the dog park all the time and then just wipe them down and their shine returns so I can wear them out shopping if I want. I took a ten day vaca to New Zealand and wore them almost every day of the trip, horseback riding, hiking, and even paragliding. They're that comfortable, people. I've submerged my feet in deep stream water as well and have no leaks. The only issue I sometimes have is my toes getting cold but that is minor. In terms of fit, I got the US 6/7 and they're a little loose in the foot but it's great because I can wear thick socks or the wellie fleece liner comfortably. My calves are slightly bigger than the average girl my height but they are not tight in the boot at all. Love these.

I have always loved Hunter Wellies, but was waiting for the right time to justify my splurge. Well, let me tell you, they were worth the wait! These wellies are beautifully made, comfortable, and look super-cute on. You can tell by the craftsmanship that they are made to last, so the price is not really a big deal. I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants stylish wellies from a trustworthy company.

I just received my Hunter Original Gloss boots in graphite, and they are so cute! I really wish that there were half-sizes because instead of ordering my usual 10, I would have gotten a 9.5. If you plan on wearing thick socks with the boots, then the extra room shouldn't be a problem. Rubber also doesn't stretch, so don't order a size smaller if you're on the fence! If you love these boots, but not so much the price, check out Kamik! They have similar boots for almost half the cost!

I love these boots - cute and feminine. I sometimes wear them with Welly socks (leopard print) for cold winter days. You'll really stand out or just wear them plain with leggings and oversized top. Cute!

Love these boots! A little clunky but that's to be expected. Love the liners that you can order to go with them. Super cute and fun boots.

Love these boots! They are perfect for Chicago's cold winters and wet spring seasons. I tread through snow and wet slush all the while my feet stay cozy, warm and dry! Would buy another pair in a heartbeat!

Love these boots! Not only have I had multiple comments on them (positive) but 5 of my friends have purchased in all different colors. I love the shiny look of the original gloss over the dull original look, but that's just me. Came back to order the welly socks so I can stay warm in them all winter and walk right through the slush! I did buy the 8's because I read that they ran big, and they fit perfectly, I am normally and 8 1/2 or 9 in running shoes.

I just got these in the mail, and they look really stylish and of good quality. The feel great on my feet. I didn't want the traditional yellow or to go with another "black boot," so I ordered the brown ones. I'm not sure how I feel about the color. I guess I'll have to try them on with jeans etc.

LOVE! Wearing my hunter black gloss for the first time today, and I must say they are awesome! I normally wear a 6.5, but I ordered a 6, and it fit perfectly. I normally hate the rain and cold but couldn't wait for it to rain so I could try my new boots out!! I wore them for the first time to work today... lots of compliments! As always Zappos gives great customer service, and I received my new boots in two days!!

These boots fit perfectly. I bought a 10 (but I'm easily a 10 1/2), so I was a little nervous after reading the reviews. Bottom line - don't get overwhelmed by all the reviews, and go with your gut. There was plenty of room in the calf and still plenty of room in the boot for the Wellie socks. The boots are less glossy than the photos which makes me rethink the brightly colored boots. A bright color for a cold winter day doesn't sound so bad now. As for the shaft height, I'm 5'10", and they are barely below my kneecap. Finally, the foot comfort level is better than other Wellies. Perfection.
