Very effective rain boot! Comfortable and doesn't rub or squeeze any part of my foot. I normally wear a 7.5-8 in most brands, but Zappos recommended a 7 for this boot and they fit perfectly. My only complaints are that they are slightly heavy due to the thick rubber sole (but I don't really mind since they add comfort and traction), and that there is a bit of a gap at the top where rain could get in (although I haven't had a problem with the inside getting wet yet).

Great stylish rainboot for my teen! She wears between a 6-6.5 Wide and the size 6 rainboot fits great with wiggle room! The first day she wore them, she received tons of compliments and her best friend went out and purchased a pair off Zappos too! Great rainboot!

Very cute short boots! Perfect for the city living. I was looking for a shorter alternative to my tall Hunter boots, and these were my prime choice. As rubber boots, they are heavy as expected. The size is tighter than in the tall boot. In the tall, 9 is a good size for me. In Play Short, the size 9 feels tighter. I tried the size 10, and determined it to be too large. Thus, I decided to stick with my original choice of 9.

A bit roomy, perfect for cozy socks. Very fashionable! My daughter currently doesn’t have a school locker due to construction, and these are perfect for keeping her feet dry without having to lug around giant boots all day. They are so much cuter than the other Hunter short boot style, which she tried on at a local store.

So cute and comfortable. I wore them at Disneyland and my feel hurt no more than usual. These rain boots are also very easy to get off and on. Highly recommend!

These boots run 1 size bigger .. I am normally a 7 and the 6 fit perfectly. Super cute boots and have a bit of a lift.

Seriously comfortable. I wear 8-8.5 and purchased an 8 and they are the perfect size, with room enough in the toe to wear thick socks. The rubber is soft and the style looks great on my short legs.

This rain shoe was comfortable the moment I put it on. Nice cushion and support with plenty of room for a thicker sock but works well and doesn't slip or rub with a thinner sock. One of those shoes you put on and know immediately it's a keeper! Recommend without hesitation.

#1 Zappos customer service is AWESOME.
SIZE: I am almost always a 6.5. I purchased the 6 and the 7 to compare. The 6 fits perfect, with room for a thick sock...or not.
COMPARISON: I also want to share that I purchased the Original Chelsea to compare. I honestly think the Chelsea is sliiiightly cuter than this one but the comfort of this Play Short won. The wedge heel makes it so comfortable and the wide opening makes it easy to take on and off. The Chelsea is beautiful and isn't uncomfortable but it is comparatively less comfortable than the Play Short (I could feel the gap of support between the heel and the ball of the foot). The Chelsea also takes some effort to put on bc the opening is small. Anyhow, I really like Hunters, they last me years.

Seriously love these boots. Rain or snow, they keep me dry and look adorable with leggings or skinny jeans. My new fave boots. The pink is more of a salmon pink than cotton candy for those considering that color.

These boots are the best!! I realized after a few too many days of wet shoes at work and muddy sneakers from fall activities that I needed rain boots. Looking online I happened upon a great deal on these Hunter boots. I was worried they might not fit well, as I have large calves, but they’re it low enough it isn’t a problem at all. In fact there’s plenty of room to tuck in my pants. Plus they are actually really comfortable for general wear and outdoor walks. I actually forgot I had them on one day at work and ended up wearing them all day without even meaning to. And they look super cute and seem really well made. Can’t recommend these enough!

These boots were too narrow, they would have been perfect if they were offered in a wider size.

I absolutely love these rain boots and receive a ton of compliments every time I wear them. I have narrow feet and wear a size 8, I purchased an 8 and they fit great. I love the wedge heel on them!

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing the Hunter Original Play Short. This is my first pair of Hunter Boots. The reviews were very accurate as as the boot is a bit large, but that is not a bad thing if wearing a pair of socks. I have wide feet, but these fit great and there is plenty of room at the toe box. As of this review I have not worn them outside yet, but have worn them inside my home for a few hours to test them out. You do need to use the pull tab to get them on. They are not totally flat and do have some arch support. I am excited to have a decent pair of Rain Boots for when the next rain comes.

I read to size down if you were in between sizes and that was spot on advice. They fit perfect! These are much lighter than the tall rain boots and easy to walk in. So glad I got them!

These boots fit my true size. They are very comfortable to walk around in all day. If you are looking for warmth make sure to buy the inserts as well.

These are great rain boots! I bought several pairs to try on and these were by far my favorite. They are comfortable, cute and I can wear warm socks with them. I’m normally a 6.5-7 and the 6 is perfect.

I'm a professional dog walker in the Pacific Northwest and these are wonderful for me.
If you are a half size and wide shoe person definitely size up with any boot style. I personally find the large calf opening helpful, I do not have slender legs and these fit me perfectly. If it's a heavy rain day, yes you will get rain in these boots because of the large opening; invest in high quality wool socks to help with that.
I have a high arch so I always need to add extra arch support, but I did try these oit for a 12 hour work day and it's not bad! I would always recommend to include additional arch support in your shoes if you're walking in them frequently.
Highly recommend these boots!

Very cute and comfortable! Perfect to easily pull on when it's wetnout. I have wide feet with a high instep, and wide calves, and these boots fit perfect. A good boot if you are unable to wear higher boots due to calf size like I am. Extremely waterproof. Order a half-size down, I am an 8.5/9, and the 8 fits me perfectly.
