User Reviews
I‘D just love it ! I’d always want a Hunter rainboot! They are high quality, comfortable and beautiful, the way that the came in that big packaged with tickets that show you the product is authentic is amazing !!!! The ONLY thing that I’d didn’t like is that they run big for me I’m 9- 9.5 and I ordered it 10 and it runs to big for me.
I usually wear a 9.5 Wide in women's shoes so I ordered a size 10 to fit warm winter socks inside my boots comfortably. I found they fit well with knee socks and I can easily wear large fuzzy socks to stay warm in the colder wet months in the Midwest.This is my first pair of Hunter boots. I was impressed by the packaging (and so was my cat!). I really want to emphasize that I loved the box these boots came in, they would make an excellent gift to friends or family.There is a pamphlet about Hunter company and how to care for your new boots in the box, simply wipe them down with a damp rag after use.These boots have pretty good traction on pavement as well.My only (sort of) complaint is that they have a fairly large opening where your feet go in. The buckle can adjust this slightly but someone looking with tiny legs may have an issue with this. I have larger calves because I walk a lot for work every day and usually only do aerobic-focused exercises, so I am glad the boots can accommodate my legs comfortably.
I saw some sketchy reviews but figured I’d risk it and I’m glad I did! They came in perfect condition and fit perfectly! They run just a little large but if you wear socks (which you should because they are rubber and you will sweat) they fit perfect!! The color is perfect!
Bought these to replace my old pair, same ones. That being said the size is way too big, & don’t fit well at all. Should I return these & order a size down? Even thought I always wear the size 10?
They fit a little snug, especially with the hunter boot socks.
You will not be disappointed with these boots!
I wear a 10.5 women’s shoe. Sometimes I order up(11), sometimes down depending on the make of the shoe. After reading reviews, I decided to order down (10). The boot is somewhat small and comfortable enough but the 11 would have been too big. I do love them and will continue to wear them-just not for an extended period of time.
Love these. I was unsure at first if I needed the huntress as they felt a little snug around the calf, but they aren’t painful nor uncomfortable. My jeans and socks still fit with them on, and I have wide calf’s and long legs. These are so incredibly comfortable and they came exactly as I expected.
