Best boots ever! Very comfortable, stylish and most importantly dry! Lots of other (cheap) rain boots make your feet feel sweaty if you wear them all day, not Hunters though! I've worn them on light rainy days to days when there is heavy wet snow and they always feel great. One pair isn't enough, I'm keeping an eye out for my second.

These are the most comfortable rain boots I have ever put on! I am normally an 8.5, so I bought an 8. I also bought a fleece welly sock. I was able to put them on with the welly sock and tuck in my jeans.

Love these boots! Your feet will never get wet in these. Highly recommend the fleece socks that go with them; they keep your feet toasty and look cute, too! Best rain boots ever!

Well, I got these for my daughter and when she opened them she was super excited. They are warm and comfortable and she loves them. She turned me onto Zappos. Definitely recommend them.

These boots are adorable! I first bought the Original Tall Hunter boots, but they were too tight on my calves (this is the first boot that I've had a problem with -- my calves aren't even very large). So I exchanged for the Original Short and these are perfect!

The Hunter boots are better than expected, especially with the fleece socks.

I was looking for a rain boot that wouldn't be heavy/bulky and this seems to do the trick. Good boot and nice and comfy.

Love these boots. I wear a size 8 or 8.5 and ordered a size 7, but by mistake they sent me a size 6. I was too lazy to return them. They fit well but will be tight with big socks so 7 would've been better...but great boots overall. I got the purple ones...love the color.

I bought these boots a couple weeks ago and finally had a chance to wear them today. Walked my dogs about 2 miles and they are unbelievably comfortable. No breaking in period. Felt like cushy slippers. I was a little leery about spending so much, but decided to because of the reviews and glad I did! I wore ski socks and folded them over the top as I thought maybe they would rub. Perfect! Also, I did not size up as everyone recommended. I bought a size 8 and they were a tiny bit big, but with thick socks they are perfect. Since I need to walk the dogs in them I didn't want something on the small side for fear of my toes going numb, which has happened in lesser brands. Buy them! You will adore them!

Really cute, and really comfortable. The shoe actually has nice cushioning, especially in the heel. I bought the shorter ones, which I find to be the perfect height.

These boots are fun to wear! They make me smile every time I put them on because it's just like being a little kid splashing through puddles again. Be sure to wear thick, fuzzy, warm and very colorful socks to complete the desired effect.

This runs both a 1/2 size larger and wider than others.

I wear a size 8.5 normally and the 39 is perfect since I wear socks. The foot bed is really soft and it's spacious enough to fit wide feet. The color is great - a little more purple than the picture - but it's cute and easy to coordinate with your outfit.

These made my legs look heavy and short. I ordered my regular size, because I needed to add arch supports, and they fit perfectly. Sad.

Good sturdy rain boot. I normally wear a 7.5-8 and I ordered a 7 which fits. There is a little slipping in the heel which is normal for a boot without zippers.

I love these boots! They have great construction and walking the streets of NY in the rain I am comfortable and dry. Also this is my first purchase with Zappos and it was a wonderful, easy experience.

I love Zappos. I wear somewhere between a 6.5-7, and ordered these in a 7. I tried them on with thick ski socks and they are too big. I called Zappos, and spoke to a great gal who is sending me them in a 6. Simply amazing.

I haven't actually worn these yet, but they were highly recommended. The shaft is wide enough for those with a larger calf and the toe seems to be pretty close to the front of the boot, but the larger size was too big. Overall, they seem like good quality and a comfortable boot. I only need to see how they feel after wearing for a period of time.

After much thought and debate I ordered the Navy Hunter Original Short rather than the Original Tall to wear to a crawfish boil. I'm so glad I got the short version because it gets so hot here in the South for one and I can easily tuck any pant leg into them unlike the tall ones. I love them and hope for rain every day so that I can wear them!

Hunter boots are the best. These are a bit shorter than the standard tall, and much easier to slip on for a trip to the garden or mailbox. True Hunter comfort with beautifully crafted wellies!

I purchased the Hunter Original Short boot to replace a fairly new pair of XtraTuf boots, a common brand worn in Alaska. Being 5'1" I needed the short shaft and the XtraTufs were uncomfortable due to the higher shaft. The short shaft also allowed more room to tuck in pants. These are great for anybody, but especially for us short people! Quality-wise, I really like them. They seem every bit as hardy as the XtraTuf boots and I expect they will hold up just as well. The tread isn't as aggressive as on the XtraTufs, but the flip side is the Hunter tread doesn't pack in the mud and become slippery as the XtraTufs often do. I normally take a size 7.5M in a shoe, but purchased the Hunter boots in the equivalent of a women's size 8 and I added a pair of insoles to take up a bit of room and provide a soft foot bed. The Hunters are really nice boots.

Upon opening the box, I really love the matte navy. I also like the shaft height but it was a teeny snug around the mid calf and I was wearing athletic leggings. I am going to exchange for the next size up and hope it might be a little roomier. I have been wanting Hunter rain boots for a long time and need to make it happen.

I took good care of my boots and rarely used them, disappointed that they cracked, but glad they lasted almost 7 years.

I'm originally a size 8, but ordered one size down because of previous customer comments and it wasn't definitely a good decision. The boots fit great and I love the color of these. They're excellent in the snow and rain and are super comfortable.
