Customer Reviews Hunter Original Short Gloss

These boots are gorgeous and feel very nice and comfortable. Unfortunately, they run rather large and my feet felt as though they were sliding around inside the boot. I always wear a size 8 but this was too risky for rainy weather so I had to return and order a 7.

I'm glad I gave Hunter boots another chance! A few years ago, I had a pair of tall Hunter boots. They were a little snug on my calves and hit me just below my knees. (I'm 5'2".) They were so cute but were not for me. I decided to try the short wellies, and I'm so glad I did! I'm also glad that I got a pair of Hunter socks to go with them. I think the boots run slightly large, so with the socks, they aren't too loose on me, plus they're warmer. (I did find them a little too warm after a few hours in them. These boots are not breathable.) I also find these short boots much easier to slip on and off compared with the tall ones. Overall, I love my boots and now look forward to rainy days!

These look great but are very heavy and difficult to walk around in.

I was so excited to get these, and I have to admit I’m disappointed. The size is just bizarre. They are my first rain boots so maybe this is just how they fit? They are big and clunky. I’m an 11, so I got the 11. There is more room in the toe, the shafts are really big, and walking in them feels like I’m in my Dad’s too-big shoes! Hopefully that’s not what I look like. I’m still practicing. Ultimately I’m going to keep them because I think sizing down one whole size will be too snug across the top of my foot. I made the quick decision to keep them when I found out it was going to pour today! Also they are really heavy! (6 pounds according to UPS). They are really cute and I like the style, I’m just going to have to get used to them I guess.

Sadly for skinny calves only :( Love these boots - they are pretty comfortable, adorable, love the bright blue color. I’m a solid 7.5 and the 7 fit well in terms of foot bed. Unfortunately the shaft of the boot is just too narrow and squeezed uncomfortably on my calf. I tried a larger size to see if that helped but no go - had to return both.

These are awesome! Super comfy, I usually wear a 9, 9.5 or even a 10 if it's a small cut. The 9 fit perfectly and I can put smart wools under them to keep my feet warm. Very happy, great color, easy to take off. Love, love, LOVE the green!

Cute, but I need to exchange for a size smaller. I am normally an 8 and I'll need a 7 in these.

I really wanted to like these but I was in between sizes (a 7 was too small and an 8 was too big). They seemed well made but just didn't fit me right. They are also pretty large and clunky, even for a rain boot.

I have two pair of Hunter boots, both size 8, and these don't fit the same. My feel slips a little in my other Hunters, my heel slips a lot more in these so these feel wider. I also feel my other Hunters feel a bit more 'cushiony' in the heel when I walk. I don't notice that as much with these boots. For those purchasing Hunters for the first time, I wear a size 9 in athletic shoes and an 8 in Hunters fit fine so we will say these fit a full size smaller. Hopefully this helps someone figure out what size to try. The main reason I am returning mine is because of the color as I can overcome the heel slippage with thicker socks. I ordered the Dark Slate color which I thought would be a very dark charcoal gray. Nope, it's a dark cement gray. Almost bluish gray. Not the color I wanted. I don't think the color shows true on my computer.

Wanted so badly for these to fit - I am a sucker for hot pink! Unfortunately, but calf was just too tight to be comfortable. I'm short, so they just hit me at the very widest top of calf. Thanks to Zappos, I was able to order three different styles and hopefully will find a keeper. If you are taller - these area great boot.

I wear an 8-1/2 and followed the Zappos recommendation to purchase a size 8. It's too short and I'll need to return it.

Flexible sole but rigid and restrictive in calf. They do run large. Size 8 still provides ample space for my 8.5 size feet. High price is also a factor, made me to seek more affordable and comfortable alternative.

Very cute, seem to have enough support and to be well made and they don't smell bad like so many such boots do. They are much too large even adding my orthotics and thick socks. Hoping a size 7 will work out.

Color, fit, and quality was as excepted.

Fit good, usually a 9.5, bought a 9. Cute and kept my feet dry. No too sweaty.

SIMPLY love the shade of red - makes you smile when put them on. A fun boot great for rain or mud; I would suggest a heavier sock for warmth. I wear a 7.5 and ordered an 8 - but exchanged for a 7 as the boot ran large.

I love these boots.... you don't have to worry about pulling the long ones off your leg which is my only complaint about the tall hunters. These are much easier to wear when it comes to that. I LOVE the color. ??

These a a beautiful pale blue in person. Not really a mint but still gorgeous. Fit is true to size and I love the low height.

Nice boots, a little too big so would recommend buying a half size smaller than your typical shoe size.

Bought these boots because my friends were raving about them. I really was not impressed. They rubbed my calf and were at least a half of a size too large for my size 11 feet. Definitely not worth the amount of money for me so I returned.

Adore these boots, bought them in pink...I gotta say that it's a MUST to buy the buffer spray and spongy thing to keep them shiny. Unless you like them white and rubbery...? I also bought the white winter booty socks to go in there. I found that If you're wearing those, you basically won't have room for any other sock. So just FYI, size up if that's ur plan.

Great boot for rain or snow! Easier to get off and on than the taller version.

Cute boots. I like the short style....I feel they are easier to take off. Love them!

agree with other reviewers that these run a little large - usually wear 61/2, got these in 6 and fit almost perfect. wear with regular boot / crew socks and quite comfy for walking dog in rain, running errands - so don't get other shoes all wet, or ruined. wouldn't get a smaller size because might be harder to get on/off. got these short style since i'm only 5'2" so these are great height to calf..and can still manage to tuck jeans into boots. really like the gloss since look a bit more fun

I bought these as the size 6 was too tight over my insole. The 6 fit length-wise with little room to spare so I hoped that perhaps the 7 would work. Nope, I am swimming int them. Sigh. They are so cute and otherwise would be comfy.
