I returned this only because the top of the boot cut into my legs as a walked. The white neon ones i tried on before in this style seemed more pliable and didn't have this issue. Unfortunately that color with the pink interior didn't work for me - too little-girly and of limited use and i had returned those too.

I really liked the style of these booties, they fit good in the foot bed. I have a very thin ankle and the opening to the bootie is wide. Looked silly with my ankles.

These boots were quite comfortable for the bottom of my feet. Unfortunately, they were too wide for my narrow feet. I put in an innersole and that helped a little, but feeling like the boots would fall off my feet was uncomfortable enough to make me return them.

No heel support. The heels feels way too lose when I tried these on. This has previously caused bursitis in my knees when I had rubber boots like this in my 20s. And my feet felt cold in them (guess I got used to insulated boots). Sadly these have to go back.

I absolutely LOVE these boots! Great fit, great height, and the color is perfect! The reason I didn't give 5 stars, is that the pull tag in the back of the boot ripped out the second time I put them on! These are not difficult to put on, so I was not pulling hard! Since they were already worn, I could not send them back. I've attempted to superglue the tag back in myself and am hoping that it holds.

Super comfortable but looked a little awkward on my small ankles. Also, when I tried it on, the tab on the back popped right off.

This is an average review on 2 pairs of the same boot in different colors. Got Electric Storm on sale. Wore them with and without socks, very comfortable. Loved them so much that ordered another pair in kombu/navy at full price. Wore these once with socks and pants. These cut into my calfs to the point of bleeding. I tried to stuff pants inside and put paper towels in but the boots pushed everything out when walking and resulted cutting into my bare legs. I will be returning them. Defective pair? Will just stay with the 1st pair. So 5 stars for the 1st pair and 0 stars for the 2nd.

Way too big. Read other reviews and chose a size 9. Am actually an 8. Will have to exchange.

The style of these was too clunky for me, the wedge style sole and large toe box made them look like orthopedic shoes (or as my husband called them, "Frankenstein boots"). Probably would have been better on someone taller and with longer legs. So even though they were quite comfortable, they went back immediately.

I LOVE the style and look of these boots. Sadly, I found myself with a few problems and am returning them. The height up to the ankle is so convenient. The color (green) is lovely and unique. Very practical for wet weather at least in materials. What I don't like is the narrowing of the footbed in the toe region, and the widening of the footbed in the heel region. Come on now. I have flat feet with basically no arch and toes that really need spaciousness, so I tend to seek shoes that provide great ankle and heel support, hopefully some arch support (or space for a different insole) and a spacious toe box. Sadly this boot does not fit the bill at all in the internal realm, just the external. I usually wear normal width, though I may try ordering Hunter boots with a wide width (if available) with my toes/toe box in mind, and a different style that somehow seems a little less wide-open in the heel and ankle area. Also to be fair, I normally wear a 9, but according to Zappos' magical sizing suggestions, I should wear an 8 in these. Well, maybe not? Although, the only part that was too tight (narrow) was the toes - and otherwise it was almost too spacious. I'll update this review if I get a different size or width of this shoe.

I ordered my usual size and my foot was swimming in this shoe. It was too long and my heels slipped up and down and too wide as well. Cute rain boot, just not the shoe for me.

Comfortable short boots, but the height and width of the opening mean the rain can fall right into the boot. Like my tall Hunters, these have developed cracks/leaks along the side. Unacceptable for the price. I will not be buying again, though they were fine while they lasted.

These are nice boots and I was really hoping they would fit, however the area over the arch of the foot is too narrow and put too much pressure on the top of my foot. I will be returning these.

Boots were a bit short for a size 9. They came up to a very unflattering level of my leg. Will stick will the taller ones.

Not sure why, but the top of my right foot was in excruciating pain after wearing these just a couple times. The fit is loose, even when the length is right. My guess is it doesn't hug the ankle well enough to compliment a normal stride, hence the pain. Had to return unfortunately.

THEY STINK/SMELL but THEY ARE THE BEST BOOTS/SHOES EVER! I stopped using these boots because of the smell they have after I used them once. I love them because they ARE COMFORTABLE, my feet didn't hurt at all but the smell is not pleasant. If someone from Hunter reads reviews, I hope that someone can read mine and Hunter being able to change something about that inside smell adding or putting a none stink/smell material.

These boots STINK, SMELL bad after you worn them more than once. I'm giving it one star overall because I would like Hunter to consider adding or putting some material that doesn't provoke the boots/shoes to stink, otherwise, these boots could be PERFECT because they are comfortable, stylish, amazing, THE BEST ONES EVER from Hunter and any other shoe company. These boots don't hurt my bunions, flat feet. The insole is perfect. It is hard to rid off the smell, I don't like shoes than stick, I can't deal with feet that stick, I can't deal with my feet if they stick, these boots smell even from far away because it is a strong smell. PLEASE HUNTER, do something about it, thank you!

Super cute but fell apart on second try on. I’ve had these literally 5 minutes. I wore them around the house and took them off to put in the shearling insoles I purchased with them. When I went to put them back on, the pull on strap ripped right out. Bummed and sending straight back.
