Customer Reviews Hunter Original Short Gloss

I just received the short graphite gloss boots today after trying out the original tall and the Huntress boots. I felt the Huntress boots were too large in the ankle area and would make this weird sound when I walked. The hunter short boot is perfect for stuffing your jeans into them even with athletic calves (which I have). They are very comfortable and there is no excessive ankle space like in the Huntress. I am a womens size 7 and ordered a 6 - a full size down.

I bought a pair of the Hunter Festival Short boots a few years ago and was disappointed to see that they seem to have been discontinued. I gave the Hunter Original Short boots a try. I was pleasantly suprised to find that they have a much softer insole than when I tried the Hunter Original Tall boot a few years ago. However, I compared the size 39 Original Short boot to my size 6 Festival boot. The Original is noticeably shorter, even though it's supposed to be the same size as the Festival. I need extra room for my orthotic, so hopefully the size 40 won't be too big. Also, it's not the warmest winter boot, but it's primarily a rain boot so that should be expected. Overall, I highly recommend this boot. Unlike many boots these days, this one is shaped like a foot: it's not super-pointy in the toe or wide and shapeless like Uggs.

Bought these for my wife as a Christmas present and she has loved them and they're perfect for navigating the slush and snow that's been hitting NYC. They're not insulated, so wool socks keep her warm!

Purchased these boots for my Mom. She loves them. Very warm and cozy. Highly recommend.

My first pair of wellies since I was a child - and happy/surprised at how grown up they are! Stylish, comfortable - recommend them for feeding chicks, walking the dog, or a trip to local watering hole on rainy night. My favorite shoes!

I bought these as a gift for my daughter. She attends school in Portland, Oregon where we get lots of rain and mud. She loves them.

One of the original wellies brands, and it's no wonder they're still around. I have the Turqoise ones and they're wicked cute. They aren't as bright as in the picture, they're a tad more teal, but they totally grow on you. They keep your feet nice and dry and it's easy to tuck skinny jeans, leggings, and yoga pants into them. Get the socks, too! I'm a Hunter customer for life now.

I love these boots! The tall was too tall for me (I am 5'4') but the short is just right.

Bought these to wear on my first trip to NYC! They are very cute, but with that much walking they cut into my legs pretty badly. I wish I would have also bought some "wellie socks" to protect my legs!

I live in Oregon so obviously, rain boots are in good order. I've dealt with cheaper rain boots but they've all failed to last, usually ending with a huge gaping hole on the side. Finally, after much consideration and deliberation, I chose to go with the original Wellington boot from Hunter and I am so happy! The materials are wonderful - these boots are made to last! - and after a month and a half of constant walking and exposure to rain, they're hole-free! I got the short height to accommodate my 'athletic' calves and they're perfect, as long as you wear pants tucked in or long socks as the rubbing is not comfortable on bare skin. I wear a size 7/7.5 so I got the UK size 5 (US size 7) and I find that they are a tiny bit loose with boot socks. Mayhaps Welly socks are next on the list? Also, I got them in red and love that they add a pop of color to any ensemble. Thank you Zappos for a great shopping experience and for having the amazing Hunter boots.

These boots are perfect in the rain. However, I always bring another pair of shoes to switch out once I'm inside. They aren't comfortable enough for all day wear, but no boots are better for keeping your feet dry!

I love these boots! They are very good looking and are a good height for a petite person. I ordered my usual size even though a lot of the reviews said they ran big. When I received them they were roomy, but the extra room allowed me to put in an insole I had purchased for running shoes that have great arch support and now they fit like a glove even with socks on!

These are the cutest boots, but as other reviewers have noted, they run about a size too large. They fit perfectly around my calves, and are a great height for my short frame (I'm 5'2"). Can't wait for rainy season here in San Francisco!

Great rainboot for shorter girls. Quite easy to get on and off. Would definitely order one size down.

Great fitting boot. Agree with others to order a smaller size than usual. I wear a size 6 shoe and boot, and I ordered one size smaller. It fit perfect! The quality on these boots is great.

Love these boots! I usually wear between an 8 1/2 or 9 and the 8 fits perfect. Very comfortable.

These boots are great! I decided to go with a boot that was shorter to fit my calves, rather than wait for the other boots to fit better. Love these! Sturdy, cute, durable.

These are great for the rain. I wear a 7M and I bought a 7. They are a bit roomy, but I know the 6 would not have fit. With the extra room I can wear thick socks and tuck in my jeans or work pants. I am 5 foot 1 and these hit me mid calf. The regular size boots would have been too long for me.

Wow, I read all the good things about these boots, but figured it was a bit of hype. However, the boots really are very comfortable (nothing poking at your foot, no seams, etc.) and much lighter than I thought they would be. They fit like a rain boot size should; bigger than a cowboy boot, but not sloppy.

I was worried when I bought these that they wouldn't fit my calves. They're listed at 15" and mine measured in at 16". I've been a swimmer and an athlete all my life, and I have REALLY muscular calves. I figured I would order them anyway, hoping that they would fit. They just arrived, and they do! I'm not saying I have scads of extra room in them, but they fit almost perfectly around my legs. I wish they were an inch bigger, but I'll live. I like them so much otherwise, that I plan to keep them and wear them even if they are a smidge snug. So I say, if you're concerned they won't fit, order them and try. You might get lucky, like me! If not, you can always return them for free! I <3 Zappos.

I bought these boots last year for Christmas. I pulled them out a few weeks ago and noticed one boot looked matte and the other shiny. I contacted Zappos to see if there was anything they could do for me and they replaced the boots with no problem. I received a new pair 2 days later. Wonderful service!

My daughter loved these boots - like the shorter because she is only 5'4". They look great - fit great and really do the job during the rain on campus.

Great rain boots! I thought I'd buy a pair since it rains frequently during the hurricane season in the south. They're comfortable and I like this short style better than the original tall ones because I'm petite.

I ordered these in black at 10 pm my time, and still received them the next day. Zappos, I don't know how you do it, and how you do it for free, but I will forever be a customer for the free overnight shipping. But speaking of these boots-run a tad on the big side, but with thick socks I would say order your normal size, thin socks, 1/2 size down. They are even prettier in person. Very shiny and look great with jeans tucked into them. Thinking of ordering the beige as well after next paycheck. This boot is worth the money if you want to look good in the rain.
