Great boot, sturdy, well-made, good looking. Some sizing comments: my calves are too thick and muscular (16" circ.) to wear the original high boot; the shorter version is a bit snug, but okay. I am typically a 9 1/2 wide, with a high instep. I listened to some of the reviews and ordered down to a 9, which almost worked with thin socks (a little hard to get on and off), but did not work with a welly sock underneath. Had to go up to a 10, which is what I usually do with boots. FYI, the welly sock will work with the shorter boot; you just have to fold or scrunch the top down a bit.

Great boots! I was worried about the taller version since I am 5'5"; thought they would look silly and not stylish. These are comfortable and keep my feet dry from the elements. I have worn them with jeans tucked in and with leggings. Not great for long periods of time; let's face it, they are rubber and your feet don't breathe. Hunter is a wonderful brand with exceptional quality. I ordered up a half size because I have a wide foot and wear thick socks in the winter. They are a tad bit loose, but I loathe tight boots. Buy them & thank me later.

Totally cool! Love these! Nothing like looking hot in a pair of rain boots. Recommend getting the liners though - need them for warmth! They look good, fit well and are easy to walk in.

Still love the Franco Sartos - always a good fit!

Love these! I read the reviews and thought that I should go a size down, but they turned out a little tight. I called Zappos and had my new boots the next day. Very comfy and very happy feet.

I have several pairs of Hunter boots, but I much prefer this shorter version. I always struggled with the taller ones being to tight on my calves hence no room to tuck my jeans into the boots. I am always watering, walking through wet grass, washing an animal;you name it and these boots have never failed me. I do however slip around in them a bit especially walking down hill, but I fixed that issue by putting Ugg insole replacements in them. Now they are perfect. I only have the traditional green, but am tempted to order another color for variety.

I ordered the Hunter boots for my daughter. She is a counselor at a sleep away camp, so I can\'t comment on comfort, but I can say, they are very well made and I am certain her feet will stay dry!She loved the look of the boot, and any rain boot that an 18 year old will wear, says a lot for the shoe!! Enjoy!

I love, love, love these boots. They are light and a great fit. They do run big, so order a size smaller. Great service Zappos. Hats off!

I was initially hesitant about buying a pair of rain boots at this price, but considering I was unfortunate enough to have a pair that… let’s just say didn’t keep the water out of my shoes, I buckled down and gave these Hunter Boots a try. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE BOOTS. I’m a 10 in Women’s, but easily fit a size 8 in Women’s. You might want to do a size or two down from what you actually wear. I like the short Hunter rain boots because there’s more flexibility in them compared to the taller version. They have that old English charm to them and I have loved them the minute I brought them. They are well worth the money.

Love the aubergine/purple color. Had to order a full size smaller. Be sure to wear socks or knee highs so your feet don't get stuck inside. My large calves just fit. No room to tuck in pants, but at least my feet will be dry!

Love my Hunters -
When my original order for Hunter boots did not work out (my calf is shorter than I thought), I was hoping there would be an alternative. I found this shorter version and they are fun, fun, fun! These actually fit me better not just in height, but they hug my leg for a perfect fit.

Love it!
Love my new Hunter Wellies. I opted for the short since I had heard reviews regarding the calf area being tight on the originals. The shorts fit my calves and pants perfectly. I ordered a size smaller than my usual (I wear size 10, but ordered size 9) based on other reviews. I was also very happy with this decision. I got the purple ones and think they look good with all colors (black pants, brown pants and denim). These have been great in Chicago's rainy spring weather.

Comfortable, practical, springtime boot -
I got these mainly because I walk and bus to work and in the spring/fall I've trashed some good shoes on rainy days. So I decided it was time to get some comfortable rain boots and these seemed like they would fit the bill. Perhaps they're not as stylish as some others that have cute patterns, but these are definitely more comfortable. I read other reviews stating that these run large, so I ordered down in size and am glad I did. Maybe they're made for wearing really thick socks as they do not have any sort of warm lining (as in, they're great for warm weather, not suitable for winter wear). But I'm wearing them we trouser socks, so I'm glad I ordered down. The arch support is pretty good, though I might just get a pair of drug store inserts to add a little bit more. These are exactly what I was going for: practical, completely waterproof, and comfortable to walk in.

Great Wellies!
Perfect boot for rainy days. Previously I tried the taller Hunter boots, but they felt too tall and therefore not so comfortable. I usually wear a 7.5 but ordered a 7 and they fit just fine. The only issue I've had is they painfully rubbed the back of my calves when I didn't wear long socks. They are fine with long socks or when tucking pants into the boot. I would recommend these boots. They are comfortable, fashionable and practical.

Wellingtons in review -
I’m very pleased with the fast processing, packaging, and product. My only real disappointment was that my "British" boots were Chinese made. I try to avoid Chinese made items whenever possible to support American- or British-made goods. However, I've always wanted a pair of Hunter boots so I'm ignoring the Chinese part. I still think it's a shame though.
The fit was a little big for my size 8 wide foot, but I think a smaller size would be too tight. I'm hoping a lot of sock will get rid of any sliding. Just got to use them outside today in the rain. Felt great and as an English friend of my told me, "They're posh!"

I wear a size 12 or 43, and these did fit for me length-wise. I have a very narrow heel, and the heel slipped too much for me to be able to wear them. This is a common occurrence for me, especially with boots. I would have kept them if not for that issue.

I ordered the gloss military red. The color is very different from what is pictured. It is really a brick color; not a bright red that the picture portrays. Not sure if I am keeping them yet since I don't like the brick red color very much. I ordered the red boot socks to wear with them and their color is bright red as I would expect. So the boots and socks look very different together. The boots fit well, though.

I ordered size 11 (up from usual) and this fit well. For comfort and fit, I added insoles and boot socks and with these additions, I feel I have mitigated the potential rubbing from the rubber boot, and also made the boot more comfortable for walking my dog. Overall, I am happy with these, but I do feel they need the added insole and sock for comfort

Huge! I am a size 8 in pretty much all shoes, but these boots in size 8 were huge on me (my feet were swimming in them). I exchanged them for a size 7 and the 7's fit much better/more like I'd expect. The size 7 upper is also about half an inch shorter than the size 8, which I think looks better on me because I'm short (5'2"). They feel pretty comfortable for rubber rain boots and I love the light blue color. And of course can't beat Zappos' customer service for making my exchange super easy!

They aren’t made the same. I still adore them, though. The military red is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you, Zappos!

Love the color and look of these short boots. They are super cute and fun. If you have wide calves, watch out!! Very snug.

I loved these boots and wanted so bad to keep them but they were just too big. I ordered three pairs—my regular size (way too big), a full size down (toe fit but heels slipped) and a pair in the slate color which was a dull gray and didn’t care for them. The shiny black was much more attractive. Sadly, they all went back (thanks Zappos for free returns!) I ended up with Uggs that fit perfectly and were half the price too!
