Customer Reviews Hunter Original Play Short

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.

Had to return. Very very wide at the ankle - looked ridiculous. Plus I could imagine so much rain getting in there. I don't know what the ankle openings are so wide?

The sole/heel on these made them too chunky for me. I ordered a half size down and they fit. I love the shaft height and slip on but not the sole. They were a bit like moon boots.

I generally wear a size 7, but the ankle area was so loose I reordered a size 6, and even that one was too big in the ankle, although the foot part fit better (and I never wear a 6!). I returned both, sadly, since not tripping is important to me :)

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.

They did look to bad but they felt wide

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.

Super disappointed in these. My original review was raving and not two months later they have started to split. I work with animals 4 days a week, 6 hours a day. I wear these because they are SO comfortable and they fit my size ankles. These were in no way constricting my feet and I wore regular socks. They have started to split on the inside and my feet are constantly wet now. Not happy at all, too much money for these to split!

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.

I wish I had listened to another reviewer who said the opening at the ankle is really wide. She was right. Rain and snow will get right in there. I had to return.

The loop strap at back of the boot broke before my daughter even wore them. They do run big. She’s an 8, but we got the 7 and it was fine. But after spending almost $100, we were disappointed to have the loop come off with the first wear. Also- it was evident it was held in with glue... just not sure we want to try again at that price.

Very disappointed!!! Wore these boots about a dozen times and both soles coming unglued on the wedge sole areas (several inches came unglued and separated from Sole ). Hunter has gone down hill in quality over the years! Only good thing is that Zappos refunded me right away for the purchase and I was able to send the boots back to them. Zappos really stands behind the product (whether it be good or bad) and has stellar customer service!

They are adorable and very comfortable, but the first day I wore them the sole split apart from the shoe on both feet! This should not be happening on a pair of hunter boots, especially ones that are $95. I may have gotten a defective pair, but this is a really bad impression of hunter boots and likely won't be purchasing another from the brand.
