Customer Reviews Hunter Original Gloss

I can't take them off! They are so comfortable. I just got the violet boots in my regular size 7 (thanks Zappos as usual for fast shipping as well as a free upgrade!). I'm also 5'2" and they hit me 1-1.5 inches below my knee, so not too bad. I am debating on exchanging them for a half size smaller. Even with thick socks, there might be room, but I don't think it will be uncomfortable.

Hunter Boots are awesome! Zappos is awesome! I ordered these in Violet and they are gorgeous! I wear a size 9 and ordered the size 9. They are a little roomy, but with warm socks & jeans, they are a perfect fit, as well as very easy to walk in. Zappos is such a pleasure to shop. I ordered the boots sunday afternoon and recieved them tuesday morning! Shipping was free too! I plan to order the Hunter Original in green when my size becomes available.

Best rainboot ever! I love these boots! They are functional and cute. I love how tall they are as well, perfect for puddle jumping! It should be mentioned that if you are in a half size like me (7 1/2), order down, I got a 7 and it fit perfectly. I also want everyone to know that these are NOT winter boots. They are not super warm, though they would be okay for a chilly fall evening if you bought the fleece liners/socks that Hunter makes for them. But, again I repeat; THEY ARE NOT WARM. So, with that being said, if you want a nice warm weather waterproof boot, this is you pick.

I purchased these boots for functionality, not looks. If they had worked out, they would have been great barn muck /rain boots. Shaft height is perfect-I'm 5 8 1/2.I have slender calves & tucking jeans in would have been possible, but a real nuisance for working. They are good looking boots, though! I wear 8 1/2 AA, so ordered an 8M, which generally seems to work for me with boots. 3 problems with the boot, 2 of which might not bother most people, and the last could just have been a flaw in the boot. 1) I have a very high instep & could barely get the boot on. I had to really tug the boot with two hands to get my foot from the shaft into the foot of the boot, and removing the boot was a tussle. 2) uncomfortable footbed-so don't count on wearing these w/out socks 3) interior seam on the side of the foot which flapped apart & was very painful. Perhaps this was a flawed boot? Am going to try a size 9 & see if I can get those on more easily.

I love these hunter boots! They are a little narrow in the calves, but they still fit - I do have wide calves. The only thing that bugged me was when I ordered them from Zappos, they showed up all dirty and almost like they had a film all over them. My friend ordered her directly from the Hunter website and when hers showed up, they were beautiful, clean and glossy - like they should be! I rubbed mine with olive oil and they cleaned up perfectly. Just annoyed that I spent $150 on boots that didn't show up in pristine condition.

I've been wanting hunter boots forever and finally got them as a Christmas gift! I'm so excited to wear them all spring long. The color is very nice (I got gray), the fit seems comfortable, and the height is good.

I ordered the beautiful Military Red Hunter Original Gloss and received the Original Tall. The issue would be found in both so I am sending them back. They hit me right at the back of my knee and the rubber feels like it would definitely chafe after walking a few blocks. I am 5'2" with 15" calves and I ordered a size 8. I generally take a size 7.5. They are gorgeous so it's a shame!

I bought these for a move to a VERY cold climate with winters lasting for 6 months, so I bought them a half size larger to fit large socks inside. With fleece rain boot inserts, I could wear these through the snow and into winters going down to below zero and still felt warm. After wearing for a year, I have seen now that they do change color a bit due to the natural rubber (I ordered mine in a shiny black). This is something Hunter explains how to clean on their website.If you have larger calfs they can be a little tight especially with the thick fleece insert. After wearing for many hours, they do tend to bend a little at the back of the ankle, making it occasionally uncomfortable. But overall they are amazing rain boots, very warm with inserts, and definitely get a lot of compliments.

Let me start by saying that I love the style and practicality of hunter boots. They are narrow and tall, which I love. It's great to be able to dress for the elements without feeling frumpy. I want to add some warnings however - these seem slightly smaller than the size 7s I bought 8 years ago. I am typically a 7.5/8 and always a 38 so I bought the size 7/38 just like I did years ago. The old pair fits perfectly but these are slightly snug. I also tried the 8s but they are huge on me. I wish that Hunters came in half sizes but since they don't I'm sticking with the slightly small pair. As far as color is concerned, I wanted a glossy black pair that I could pull off for work on rainy/snowy days. I do prefer the matte Hunters generally but I am hoping that the gloss will also bloom less than my matte pair. Also worth noting, if you plan to wear these in the winter, take precautions to keep your feet warm. I just bought the boot socks so hopefully that will help keep my feet from freezing when I wear them out in the snow.

I love these boots! They're beautifully glossy, the graphite color is great and they fit my size 9 feet perfectly. Sadly, they didn't fit around my 16" (40mm) calves [insert sad face here], and a wrinkle at the ankle with these boots just doesn't work the way it does with leather... I should have paid closer attention to the description! So I've had to return them. But otherwise they're beautiful.
