Customer Reviews Hunter Original Short Gloss

I had been wanting a pair of Hunter rain boots and finally broke down and ordered this pair. Unfortunately, they just won't work for me. I have pretty narrow feet and small calves (13 inch). There was no support around the ankle to keep them on; these boots just flopped around if I tried to walk in them. The gap between my legs and the boot was huge. While these boots are cute, they are also rather clunky and heavy -- more so than expected, though maybe it's because they were entirely too wide for me. I know Hunter makes a style for those with wider calves, I really wish they'd make some for those of us who need a more narrow fit. Also, I adjusted these to the max - which isn't a whole lot. I returned these today and ordered a pair of Kamik rain boots -- we shall see if they're any more narrow.

Color is orange and not glossy at all. However, shoe was comfortable and felt true to size. Just didn't care for color.

I really really wanted these to fit! I normally wear a 7.5 in shoes so I ordered a 7. It was a little bit of a struggle to get them on and off and while they otherwise fit okay, there was no way I could wear socks or use the shearling insert. There just wasn't enough room in the toe box and my toes were compressed! I then ordered the 8 which made it easier to slip on and off but they looked big. But again, no room to wear socks or the inserts without squishing my toes! And my feet felt really cold-socks are a must for me! So I returned them and bought a different brand!

I ordered the next size up based off of reviews and the fact that I wanted to be able to wear a sock/liner in these boots. Sadly they are huge in the ankle and snug on top. Only order these boots if you have narrow/skinny calfs.

I found these rain boots to be wide and very heavy. If you have a narrow foot and/or narrow calf, these are not for you.

the heel is so large that it did not grip my heel at all

These are beautiful boots and the color was lovely. I am a 6W and I happen to have proportionally larger calves so fitting boots has been an issue all my life. I ordered the 6 and they fit fine in the foot, with light socks, but the top of the boot is too narrow. I could tell it would chafe against my leg and tucking the pants in only made it more snug. There is no arch support but there is great cushioning in the heel. If these boots came in half sizes, I would have kept them. For the price charged, they should be perfect.

too large

I love the red color and was so hoping these would work. I have large calves and thought since they were short that they would work. I did get them on, but barely got them off. They are going back.

This is so disappointing. I wear a size 11 so that was my original order. They are so big that I can't even walk in them. Since I love the boots I ordered a size down. They are so small I can't even get my foot in. What the heck Hunter?!?!?

These are cute ... However I'm 5'2 and have athletic calves.. . Hahaha could hardly get them pulled on! I have the huntress and they fit.. And according to the measurements I should have fit into these,sadly I'm returning.

The Lipstick Pink is a great color. But boot fits weird. The foot bed is very roomy,but the shaft is too small. I found them uncomfortable for walking. If you normally wear tall boots, then these will work fine. Not for us plus size girls with large calves. Had to return them.

These boots may not last more than 8 months. I bought these boots in black gloss. For me, they were an expensive purchase for rain shoes, but I went for it because I read how dependable they are. I liked the look of them, for rain boots. The short boot allowed me to easily wear them over pants. My real complaint about this boot is that the exterior cracked in less than a year. At first I thought that the cracks were simply aesthetic, and only as deep as the gloss finish (still disappointing), but upon further inspection I noticed that the cracks were deeper making them not water-proof and therefore, pointless. What a waste of money!

I loved these boots when I first received them, and for several months after...but just after the year warranty was up, they started cracking all over. I have tried to patch and repairer with recommended rubber glue, but nothing works. So disappointed.

I was surprised how big these were. I threw out the box and wore them outside, so I cannot return them, but they are way too big! So I sold them used online for a lot less than I spent.

So beautiful very uncomfortable

since they do not make 1/2 sizes (i wear a 9/12) i rcvd a sz 9 and they still slip and cause blister. i cannot go any smaller as my toe is at the end. i hate these and hate that i waSted so much money

Bad fit and blah

Cheap feeling - big disappointment

I’m less than 2 years the leather has cracked due to wear. Disappointed in this brand.

How do people wear these? Cute on other people but zero support, there is nothing comfortable at all about these boots. Not sure how they Foley so many good reviews.

I knew from the negative reviews not to buy these but did..worn about 12 times mostly indoors on carpet. Today i stepped out in the snow and my sock became soaked from water from a hole where the sole attaches the to main show shaft. Obviously not well made. First and last experience with Hunter. Save your money.

These boots are stylish and comfortable however they are NOT durable. After buying them in Dec they had cracks and were not longer waterproof by the following April. For the price I would like to see them last longer than 4-5 months.
