I am always a 7 or 7 1/2, usually 7 for open toe shoes/sandals and 7 1/2 for shoes and boots. My feet and legs were swimming in the 7s - I returned the 7s and I am keeping the size 6. They are a tad on narrow side but otherwise perfect. Odd sizing.

Sizing is way off. This 19 is supposed to be a 4.5 and I don't think so. It is very small. The fabric's texture and the fact that only one side has velcro will make it very difficult to get your LO's foot in there even if you size up. I love the color, the style, and the arch support and sole look of very good quality and comfort. I may try to go up a size or two.

I love my boots! One thing I noticed is wearing low cut socks with them give your ankles blisters. Other than that i think they're really cute and work great!

This is the third time that I've purchased a pair of Hunter rain boots in the last 10 years. I wish they held up longer than 3 years, but I live in NYC and I'm tough on my shoes. So they're pretty resilient.
I do tend to order a half size up so that I can put insoles inside of them for arch support (I have flat feet) or to wear them with thick socks.
These really are the best rain boots I've found.

Bought these for my daughter she is normally a size 11 for Nikes and a 10 for other shoes. Got her the size 9 and they fit and she can even wear a little thicker socks. She loves the Red (high gloss) it matches a lot of things and it's a very fun color.

These are insanely cute and practical, but they are a tad snug in the calves and too high on a short-legged girl like me (5'3) - they touch my knees and feel restrictive.

This is my second pair of tall Hunter boots...so it's safe to say that I'm a fan! I have had no problems with water leaking in. The boot itself is moderately thick (I have had thinner rain boots) but requires a warm sock in cooler weather. I do wish the circumference of the top was about a half inch to an inch wider to accommodate the socks and warm clothes....especially since this boot is made to wear over your pants, not under. My calf is on the smaller side, and I would prefer for there to be a little more room between my leg and the boot. I would also like to see the boot itself made in somewhere besides China as products made in China typically lack superior quality...especially for the price.

These are great looking boots that are pretty comfortable - but the first pair I bought was huge and I had to return them and purchase a new pair a full size smaller than my usual size. They slide on just fine. However, they are pretty snug to take off. I do wish that they had a zipper.

Cute boot. But followed advice to order size down if between and it's too small. Hope they have the larger size now!

I absolutely love these boots! I've been contemplating purchasing them for two seasons and finally committed. I normally wear a 7.5, so I ordered the 7 based on reading hundreds of reviews. Unfortunitely, I will be sending them back today. I have never needed to buy wide calf boots as my calf muscles are not large, but these are extremely tight around the calf area. I will be returning and exchanging to see if the 8 will fit any better, but I'm not optimistic they will fit either. I love them so much that I'm crossing my fingers!

I ordered these boots yesterday and received them today! Thank you Zappos for your great delivery service! After reading the reviews I struggled with what size to order. I am a 9 normally so I ordered the military red in a 9. I also ordered the boot sock in a large. When the packages arrived I put the boot sock on and it was a little big (but not too bad) and then I tried the boot. The boot was probably a half size too big and the 8 would have been too small but with the sock...it was perfect! Keeping them both!

Runs very large and I should have paid more attention to the other reviews and ordered a size down. Nice boots, good Navy color, but I think they are a bit too tall and stiff for what I want to do in them which is more gardening type stuff. Am returning them and will look for something different. Good quality boot if you are going for a fashion rubber boot; would work with skirts or tight jeans or leggings on a rainy afternoon.

I love the color of these! I am 5'3" and they come up a bit higher than I would like on my leg, but not so bad that I would return them. I also have thin calves and often have problems finding boots that do not gap, but these look okay...

I generally wear a 6 1/2 in shoes and a 7 in boots. Based on other comments I bought the size 6 which is perfect.

Beautiful color. So pretty. I almost kept it. Unfortunately, I'm 5'4'', 127lbs and these are too tall on me. They also rub on my calfs. Will buy shorter boots.

Boots arrived with no problems. I know people often say get a size up in boots, but I got my usual size and they fit perfectly!

I love the look of these boots. I am usually a 9 and I got an 8 for these and they fit perfect! I will say they keep you dry but are not warm at all. Overall a great boot but will probably need something warmer for next winter.

Bought the red...great for Atlanta winter rains and have certainly received lots of compliments whenever I wear them. Seem a bit wide and tempted to buy the Expensive Hunter boot socks instead of wearing my heavy wool ski socks that still do not fill the space...but then again...expensive pair of socks....hummm.

Really wanted these boots for the cold rainy days of winter/spring but the calf was too tight. I noticed what appeared to be a buckle in the image but unfortunately it is more decorative than functional.

Just received these boots from Christmas in the graphite gloss. They aren't too glossy and are a good neutral color. I usually wear a 6.5, got these boots in a 6. With thick socks, they fit pretty well. With thin socks, they are too big. They will be good to wear with skinny jeans or cords and thick socks, but not so good with tights and skirts when commuting. I think going down to a size 5 will be too small, so I'm planning on keeping them.

I read several reviews prior to purchasing these boots. Most buyers said "size down"...so I did. My boots arrived today and they are too small or should I say they are a "perfect fit" without socks. Why would I wear these without socks in the winter? Sadly they must be returned for a 9. I'm an 8 1/2 in all shoes. Also the boots fit tight around my ankles...I'm a size 8 in ladies clothing with average calves. Overall, I really like Hunter boots and plan to return them for a larger size.

I wear an 8½ or 9 in most shoes and these fit perfectly in an 8, even with socks. However, I exchanged these for the adjustable back Hunters because I could not fit my pants in with the boots unless I was wearing leggings. I would advise measuring your calfs before ordering. Mine are not particularly wide, just a little muscular, but I didn't like how tight the original was on me in the calves. I am 5'8", 150 pounds. The adjustable seems to be a good way to go if you do not have stick calfs and want the practicality of fitting your boot cut jeans in your boots.

I ordered both the tall (original) and short glass plum boots. I ordered the short first and they are cute but I thought I might like the taller boot better just because of where the short boot landed up my leg. So I ordered the tall in order to try them and make a decision. The tall boots go pretty high up my leg (I am 5'2") and they were too tight at the very top band unfortunately. I will be returning the tall and keeping the short (I wish there was an in between shaft height). Other than that they are adorable and I am sure they will keep my feet very dry in the rain, I cannot wait to wear them! The color is great!

Size up or size down? I usually wear a 7.5, and essentially gave myself an ulcer toiling over whether to get a size 7 or 8. I eventually went with the 8 in Military Red, knowing my old, yellow, size 7 Chooka boots were really tight with thick socks. Since I've been told my temporary home of Washington DC gets more slushy than snowy, I plan on wearing these babies with the thickest socks on the market. But alas, when they arrived a few days later my feet slipped and slid around when I walked around the house in them with my thick socks. I ordered a new pair in Pillar Box Red and size down and they're perfect! There's just enough wiggle room if my California-girl self decides to double up on socks. The Military Red is noticeably darker and I was looking for a bright red. These fit the bill perfectly. I'm 5'5 and the shaft height is perfect and hits about 1-1.5 inches below the knee for me. They're light as a feather too!

I normally wear a 9 1/2 but bought a 10 based on other reviews. Glad I did - they fit great. A bit hard to walk down stairs with the taller boot (and I have long legs), but super comfortable and warm.
