Customer Reviews Hunter Original Tall Gloss Rain Boots

I feel it is necessary to share my review as I had an equally negative experience with Hunter (please note Zappos is AMAZING and I love them!). I had the same experience as another purchaser that posted last February, which I unfortunately did not see until now as that was just after I bought mine (December 2018). However, as I believed up until now that Hunter had such a positive reputation I would have questioned that the other purchaser's experience was a fluke had I not gone through the exact same thing myself. When you spend $150 for a pair of rubber rain boots you expect perfection, otherwise just buy a pair at Target! I thought I was making an investment with these for what I believed was a quality product that I would have for a long time, and surely longer than a year. I wore them often and always received compliments on them. I walked to and from work in them and found them to be very comfortable. I wore them in all seasons and weather conditions. After one year of use, when I was walking through a puddle while showing my husband how wonderful they were I noticed that my feet got wet, only to discover that both boots had cracks in them in the same exact spot as the customer from February 2019!! I thought, wow, this is surprising, but never fear, I will contact Hunter and they will make everything right because along with the $150 price tag they also boast on their website how they stand behind their products and give a two year warranty. However, buyer beware!!! After an excessively long time waiting on hold to talk with someone from Hunter followed by sending them proof of purchase and photos of my boots they informed me that my one year old boots were not covered under their warranty! I took excellent care of these boots and did not do anything out of the ordinary with them whatsoever. Their warranty is completely bogus, and their customer service is terrible and non-existent. I asked repeatedly to talk with a supervisor and they would not enable me to do so. And while I would recommend Zappos to anyone I would not recommend Hunter or their terrible customer service to anyone!!! Save your money and buy a brand that truly stands behind their products!

I received clearly used, greasy, dirty, scratched boots. They were dull (the grease marred the "glossy" appearance) and not in good shape. When you spend $160 on boots, you should not be sent someone else's obviously returned (after being heavily handled) pair. The price point on these should be 50% off, minimum. I'm disappointed that Zappos rolls this way.

I bought this boots six moths ago They fit great, look awesome, I was so happy! I wore them maybe 6 times because I Live in Florida I cleaned and store the boots as they said in the care pamphlet. I wore my boots for three days and the boots are cracked and broken is absolutely criminal that, after spending $140, wearing them 6 times, they are ruined. I contacted Hunter and after sending all the pics and the proof of purchase from my credit card is not enough because I don’t have the receipt Hunter's warranty is only good for 6 months (provided you purchase directly from them) so they will Not give you any warranty because you didn’t buy it directly from them and they don’t stand up behind their products because they know that they use bad quality materials and they charge too much. This a a disappointed brand. I can believe how people get all good reviews to and awful product.

I bought these in the high gloss Violet. I LOVE the color and everytime I wear them someone compliments them. I typically wear a 6 &1/2 or 7. The 6 that I have these in STILL has PLENTY of room for thicker socks. I do not have large calves but they fit snugly there so if you have larger calves these are likely not a good choice for you. The only downside is that the gloss finish shows marks very very easily so if you want them to look perfect- this is not the finish for you

I have a 17 inch calf which I guess puts me in the category of "large calves." This boot did not fit. I even sized up a full size, nope. If you have large calves don't waste your time. If you have average calves, size up. If you have skinny legs this boot is for you. But it isn't for me. Back it goes.

Hunter needs to make these in half-sizes.

I LOVE ZAPPOS! Zappos is WONDERFUL ! Hunter Boots, however, does not stand behind their products. I had pristine boots that I wore once a year. I thought I’d clean them so I used their buffing and shine product to do that and afterwards it looked like acid had been poured on the boot. I called Hunter customer service and after a week of haggling they did nothing to help me. I am truly shocked that a company with such a fine reputation would not stand behind their products. Ill throw them in the trash. Heart broken. As for the boots themselves....I loved them! Comfortable and cute. Just too much money to spend to just be ruined by the company’s own cleaning products! I’m a 7.5 and 7s were perfect. Buyer beware.

They don't have half sizes. Usually I'm an 8 and 1/2, so I was deciding between an 8 and a 9. I went with the 8 and it fit perfectly. I'm very happy with them!

I love these boots! I've only worn them a couple of times, but they feel very comfortable so far. They ran a little big for me. I usually wear a 8 1/2 or 9, but I wear an 8 in these.

The material of these boots was inferior to the ones I have purchased before. Seems now they are made in China and they are not as sturdy. Since I had purchased these for my granddaughter and she really liked them we kept them. I have purchased 5 pair of Hunter Boots and the ones I have that DO NOT SAY Made in China are far better. I am sad that they are not as high quality as I like to give them as gifts. I am sure I will not purchase any more.

As has become a HUGE problem with Zappos/Amazon shoe orders, these boots arrived defective. One of the boots was a 1/2 inch longer than the other so that when I walked in them, the longer boot was too loose to wear. I own other Hunter boots that I bought from Nordstrom and directly from the Hunter company and have never had a problem. I ordered from Zappos this time because I wanted them sooner than the other two (2) companies could deliver. They are being returned to Zappos and I just put in my order with Hunter. After this, I'm done ordering from Zappos/Amazon. Shame on me for making the same mistake a 4th time. Hunter boots can run large. I normally order a size down.

My sweet husband bought these beautiful Military Red Hunter boots for me and they look even more amazing in person! My normal shoe size is 7 1/2 and the 7 fits great with thin or thick socks and has a good arch support. I do have small calves so most boots are wider than I'd like. The width of these boots is perfect for rubber boots, allowing room to comfortably pull over pants and/or thick socks without flopping on your legs. They have me praying for rain!!

These boots are gorgeous and I found them to be true to size. They are difficult to get off if you don't wear socks so I definitely recommend you wear socks with them. I ordered a few pairs of the Hunter boot socks for the tall boots and they make these boots even more perfect. Now I just need for it to rain.

These are beautiful in the color Gloss Slate! Very classy and perfect for fall, rain and snow! I normally wear a size 9, ordered a 9 and they fit perfectly. The calf diameter is a bit narrow if you are unfamiliar with Hunters then you may want to measure to ensure they will not be snug. Otherwise, such a classic look!

Hunter know rainboots. Material is durable, yet light and flexible. They do run a bit big.

Love the dark slate gray color - It's a great neutral color, just like black but gives it a little "something extra" than the standard black color. Goes with everything & is SUPER cute. The shoe size is definitely big - I generally wear a 7.5 and bought the 7's and they fit great. I have a slender/athletic build & I do have to say that they are somewhat snug on the top of my calves, so if you have larger calves you might have an issue. Other than that, I love them.

I love these Red Tall Gloss Rain Boots! I wear a size 11. These boots fit perfectly for my feet. However, the calf circumference was tight. Rain boots are worn on the outside or jeans or pants. The calf size of these boots is way too small to fit over jeans or pants. Please increase the calf size of these boots to match a size 11 foot. I would order these again if the calf circumference was increased.

We bought these rain boots as a birthday gift for our daughter-in-law. I wrapped the box without opening it and was so disappointed when she opened it. The boots look like they have had something acidic poured on them which removed the shine. We tried washing "it" off but it made no difference. What a disappointment that Zappos would send a product out like this.

The fit and the size are perfect! They are made with a high quality rubber and are super comfortable. I love them

Perfect for rainy days

Want a pair of boots that will elicit compliments ? These boots are for you. They are stunningly beautiful. Having read that they might dull with time, I treat them with lots of love, including wiping them after ever use. So far, they are still shiny.

Great Rain boots. Of course they are wide but all rain boots are. They are true to size and I love they way they look. The buckle on the side is a bit uncomfortable if you cross your legs but overall these are great! I’m a size 10.

These boots were a gift to my daughter, at her request. She loves the color and the style. However, she has found the calf area a like snug for her. However, not too snug to return.

They fit great. I usually wear a size 7, but for these, I had to go down a size.
