I got these boots in red just to brighten up my wardrobe and also if it was raining to brighten up the day a little. These didn't turn out the way I wanted them to just because they were just too tall for me and it was snug in the calf area. I'm only 4'11, so I would suggest anyone who is as tall as me or shorter not to get this one but try the Huntress model. Otherwise the boot was very pretty and made very well. I would also suggest getting a size smaller, I wear a 7.5 and I thought that if it got an 8 it would be good with a thick sock. Well my feet were swimming in that size! Hope this helps!

I wanted to love these boots. But they were so tight in the calves, I couldn't wear them. I am not heavy; I run and lift weights, so perhaps my calves are a bit on the big side, but not much. I returned these and got a pair of Hunter Huntress, which have more room in the calf. I can wear the fleecy liners and tuck in my pants.

Was disappointed when I received these in graphite. Was expecting more of a charcoal gray but instead it is more of a bluish gray.

Was so excited to get these and was so disappointed when I did! My calves are a bit larger (used to be a dancer), and I sometimes run into problems with boots as a result. I could barely get these over my calf with no wellie socks on, and they were also tight on the top of my arch. Terrible fit for me, which makes me sad because they're cute! But if you know you have a high arch or larger calves, these are not the boots for you.

Have wanted a pair of Hunters for the last two years. Finally bought a pair - and when they arrived I was very disappointed with the fit.
The foot itself feels a size larger than what I wear, while the shaft seemed tighter than it should have been.

To be honest, these boots are terrible for me. They look awesome on girls with skinny legs, but they are uncomfortable to walk in with pants tucked in. If you don't wear high socks with them, they feel uncomfortable against skin. Walking any more than a 1/4 mile in these hurt, because they rub the back of my heel. Normally I try to double up on socks, but sometimes this doesn't help. The left boot must have an air pocket in the heel also, because anytime I step after walking in the rain, I can hear the heal squish.
The only good thing I can say about the boot: they keep your feet dry.

I loved the look of the glossy rainboot, very versatile, however, the gloss isn't so glossy after a month of wear. I was really disappointed. Now, they look just look like a regular pair of worn out boots.

I like everything about them. I returned them because my calf couldn't fit comfortably. They don't come wide. I wasn't able to tuck my pants in. Make them bigger in circumference!

I spent a ton of time researching the best rain boots out there. The Hunter's have no support whatsoever. I know a lot of people have had issues with the narrow shafts on the Hunter boots. I have chicken legs so it wasn't really an issue for me. I would not recommend them if you plan to do a lot of walking. The gloss wasn't too much on these boots and they look good. As far as size goes, I'm an 8-8 1/2, and I ordered the 8. They fit pretty close with thin socks, but if you plan to buy the Hunter fleece socks I would definitely go with a 9. I was extremely disappointed in the comfort. I wore them around the house for an hour or so and started to feel discomfort on the back of my ankle. Blisters were just around the corner.

Nice color. The only bad thing about these boots is that they are too tight in my calves so I can't wear my pants inside them, but I still kept them. I wish they would have other sizes for circumference.

Oh the heartbreak. They are totally beautiful and a fabulous color. Alas I read one of the other reviews from some that said her athletic calves fit without a problem. I must have exceptionally athletic calves and there was no chance of pulling these all the way up. So if you are someone who like me regularly has trouble finding boots that fit around the calf, don't expect these to be any different.

I am a size 4.5 and knew these boots would be too large. I planned on wearing a sock with them which I have done. They are still too large but I decided to keep them for very rainy or snowy days. They're fun boots. My guess is if you are a size 5 or larger they will be fine.

God forbid you have calves. Unless you've got really skinny calves (12" around), these boots aren't going to fit you, and don't even think of tucking your pants into them. I'm nowhere near overweight, 145, 5'7", and these boots could not fit past my calf muscles. It was very disappointing and I'm surprised that a single person had not mentioned this in any review. I have to return them now and obviously can't wear any other Hunter boots. Otherwise, they were extremely handsome boots and I loved looking at them, just couldn't get my legs into them.

These boots are super cute; however, if you are short, these are not the boots for you. The height of the boot hit me at the knee and when I sat down, they dug right into my leg and therefore were not the boots for me. Trust me when I tell you, if you are small, I say skip them!

These boots run big and had little support, so I inserted an insole. They aren’t a very tailored fit but that isn’t what I was expecting in a rain boot. Sadly, after 3 years of wear, the ankle is cracking. I was expecting a much longer life out of these spendy rainboots.

We usually have a great experience with Hunters but this time the "glossy" boot arrived with a cloudy white residue all over the boots. We tried to rub it off but unfortunately the substance seemed to be etched in the finish. Had to return the pair.

I have been hemming and hawing over these boots forever. I had also tried on an older pair of the same style that my friend had and loved! So when I saw them on sale I sprang for them. My normal size varies from 8-9. Based on the reviews I decided to go with a 7 and an 8. When they arrived, the first thing I noticed was that the first pair appeared damaged. So I opened the second pair and noticed the same thing. Couldn't tell if it was scuffing from previous customers or something to do with the gloss, but I'm assuming this is not typical. Given the defect is on both, I see no sense in exchanging for another pair. In terms of fit, both fit fairly well but I probably would have gone with the 8 to allow for thicker socks. I have skinny calves and usually find the boot shaft to be big but these were perfect. Comfort was just ok...I was expecting more for the price. An interesting difference I noticed was that the 8 was about an inch taller than the 7...could be a manufacturing factor. I really wanted to love these but just couldn't justify spending $100 on something of this quality. I wonder if, like many other products, the quality of this item has gone down over the years as it's gained popularity or if the vendor for zappos differs from
other companies that carry this same product. If the Matte go on sale, maybe I'll reconsider trying again but for now I'd rather put that money towards a pair of Ugg slippers. On a positive note, I have always loved zappos and their customer service. Thank goodness for free returns!!!!

I've had my Hunter's for three years now. Being from San Diego, I wear them about 5-7 times annually. There is wear through the rubber where my ankles are, the labels are peeling off, and the rubber in the buckles is ripping. I thought these boots were sturdier than this, but I guess not. I'm quite frustrated with the lack of wear-time. I do, however, find them quite warm and comfortable to wear. Plus, they absolutely look stylish on rainy days.

Mine arrived covered with the "bloom." I could not get it off, rubbing hard with either a cloth or paper towel. Not willing to purchase a product to get it into the shape it should have been in when it came. So I am returning.

After two wearings these boots did not hold their sheen. I am disappointed. I will exchange them for the matte finish and hopefully that will be better!

I bought a pair of Hunter Black Glossy rain boots through Zappos last month. I had too order a full size smaller to get them to fit. I have worn them three or four times and the gloss has turned all cloudy and dull. I have cleaned them with a cloth with plain water and wiped them dry with a soft cloth and they are still dull and streaky. I am very disappointed with their finish. I would like to know how to keep them shiny or return them. The fit is the fit, but believe for this price that they should stay looking great.

I normally wear an 8½ or 9 medium in shoes and boots. I bought these in an 8 and the fit in the foot was good; enough room for socks. The shaft of the boot, however is cut much differently than Hunter boots of the past. First, it is much narrower. It was not too narrow, but there was no way that I would be able to wear a hunter sock with it. Second, it is much too tall. I am 5'5" and when I sat down the top of the boot dug into the back of my knee. Standing up it felt too tall - hitting just above the lower part of my knee. This is the main reason that I am going to return these and get the shorter boot. Also, this boot requires help when you want to get them off. I really struggled getting one off and then had to get my husband help me with the second one. I have owned two other pairs of Hunter original boots from 15-25 years ago and the new Hunter is cut completely different and I did not have these problems with them.

I bought these for my 16 y/o daughter. She loves the color. However, they are very tight in the calf. My daughter is small, but muscular. I am not sure that the opening is 15 inches as stated. Other boots with a 15 in. opening fit her fine. I am disappointed that this color is not offered in the bigger calf opening style. May be returning these boots.
