Customer Reviews Hunter Original Short

Chose the Hunter Short over the Hunter Original because I have generally accepted that my wide calves will never allow me to wear tall boots. These fit quite nice and are definitely roomy. I am a true 7.5, and in whole sizes, I wear 7. I bought this in 7, and it's a bit larger than I would like. I didn't return it, because I didn't want to it to be small and be too difficult to take off. Note that my roommate with size 9 feet could fit in these, but were tight for her. Also, I would only wear these with socks that come above the boot. Okay to walk in, but wouldn't go hiking in them or anything like that. Perfect for going to class, running errands, etc., in rainy climates.

Love my new boots! For those of you trying to find the socks for the shorter boot -- I purchased the "youth" socks in Medium. I wear a women's size 8 and the youth medium fit perfectly! I would not recommend this for anyone with a size larger; they will be too tight. They are short enough to fold over the top; I had to tuck in about 1/2 inch of the sock into the boot -- very manageable.

I must first compliment Zappos on the wonderful service it provides its customers. Bravo! I originally ordered the Hunter knee boot. I felt it looked a bit "clown like" on me. I returned them and ordered the short Hunter instead. I love them. They are much cuter on than pictured. I ordered the chocolate brown. I think they will be just perfect for my needs.

The boots are great. 5 stars really the best. Fits true to size but allows for heavy socks. But the real star is Zappos. I ordered the wrong size, needed the boots in 3 days. I ordered the 2nd pair after work and Zappos had them sitting on my door stop the next day when I got home. They expedited the shipping for me. Just wonderful service. Very fast refund (not to mention free return shipping on the first pair). Service like this is rare and I am now a permanent customer. Thanks Zappos!

I am really happy with these boots. Not only are they really cute, but they are also well-made without being too heavy or clunky. Thanks to the previous reviewers who advised on ordering a size smaller (I ordered down a size and they fit great).

Somehow it was very hard to find the right size in NYC, perhaps because it was a rainy season? Zappos speed rocks and Hunters work great, just pair them with thicker socks, like athletic ones.

I love my Hunter boots! Soon after I received them, a cold rain came to my town. They were fabulous! Keep my feet dry and warm. And they look great too!

I must say that I was truly impressed with Zappos' service. It was fast, easy and super satisfying. I am glad I waiting until I found the exact item I wanted and didn't settle. Thanks Zappos!

Great boots, comfortable. I have very thin legs and they are pretty big at the top. Next time I might try the taller ones.

I love these boots! I opted to get the short instead of the tall as I couldn’t try on the tall boots and was afraid they would come up past my knee. Incredibly comfortable! Also, the ball of my foot is a bit wide and I was concerned they might be too tight, but they have plenty of room for my feet to wiggle.

Love the boots! I was glad I ordered a size 7 even though I normally wear a 7.5 because they run a bit large. The boots arrived in less than 24 hours, which was great!

I read other reviews of these boots and saw that they ran bigger than they were marked. Usually, I wear a size 8 so I ordered these in a woman's size 7. They fit perfectly! With the rain that we keep getting around here I knew I would definitely need a cute, stylish, comfy rain boot! You will not be disappointed with this boot!

I've never been inspired to write a review of anything before....I really love these boots! Comfortable, well made, and cute. I've gotten many compliments. I'm glad I got the short style-easy on and off, easy to tuck the pants in quick and go. I think they must run a bit large because I normally wear a 9 1/2, occasionally 10, and the 40-41 fits perfectly. My feet are quite wide, with a high instep, and with a thick wool sock (necessary for a chilly Minnesota spring) these fit like a glove. If they were any smaller at all I'd go up a size. The tread is substantial and makes me feel a little more safe on an injured ankle which I try to protect. I have never had rain boots before and I am a convert-they are perfect for mucking around at the cabin, going to the dog park, taking the kids on city expeditions, and navigating slushy slippery wet sidewalks. And I recommend Zappos to anyone and everyone- love that super fast delivery!

I love these boots! They were a great investment for winter weather, well into spring rain. I prefer the shorter boots to the original ones, as a shorter person (I'm 5’2”). In terms of sizing, I would order a size down, as they run kind of large. Also, with the shorter boots, the optional fleece socks don't fit well, and I had to return the ones I had purchased. All in all, a great buy!!

I am in between sizes. I’m a 6.5 so I ordered both the 6 and 7. The 6’s fit but my big toe is at the edge. I am keeping fit sumner days when I don’t want to wear thick socks. The 7’s are too big but I bought the boot liner and now they fit snugly without my heel slipping.

It's tough to comment on the size, because they don't make half sizes (and that's what I really need!). This time, instead of ordering larger, I went smaller. The boots fit, but won't be comfortable for very long periods of wear.

Comfortable, and a pretty good fit (as Wellies go!) Cute (as Wellies go!)

I wear an 8 and went a little smaller. They fit my feet but are a little snug in the calf. Difficult to take on and off.

Hunter really should consider half-sizing. I'm sure I'm not alone in that one size is too big and next size down is way too small. I'm keeping the larger size, knowing that I'll just have to wear thicker socks, since the quality is better than most rain boots.

Finally broke down and bought a pair of Hunter boots after wearing too many cheapo throw-away rainboots. These are well worth the investment! I have plantar fasciitis and these are very supportive compared to most rain boots. Very sturdy with good traction. One thing to note, a pair of liners comes with the boot. I will be trying these out in winter weather as the liner is quite warm!

Based on other reviews to order a size down, I bought a size 7 - they were too short, and I got the size 8 instead, which fits me perfectly (I normally wear a size 8-8.5). I have the long Hunter boots as well, and they have a different sole than this style, I wish this style came with that same sole. It will take a little getting used to the very square, slightly too high, heel on these when walking around.

Love these Hunters! They make going out in the rain not such a big deal. My only complaint is that you have to buy the sock inserts to make them fit, because they do run big.

The color is lovely and the quality seems good. I have rather muscular calves and the boot just fits, so this is just a slight problem. I would recommend these to others.

Totally love the boot but the only problem is the width. The boot fits really snug around my lower leg and I can't fit my jean legs inside. I recommend Hunter making the width of boots a little bigger for people with thick legs. The reason why I purchased the short boot is because the Huntress will not fit my legs, and that boot is supposed to be for people that have bigger calves. Not!
