Fit: I typically wear a 7.5 and I went with a 8 which fit perfectly. I'm 5'2.75 and 110 lbs and the calf opening is perfect. The height of the boots is tall, hit right below my knees. I've had no problems wearing these with jeans, dress pants, no pants etc.Quality: All the seams are really well constructed. The packaging came in the original hunter box and was wrapped very well. Some folks received defective products with odd films on it. I definitely did not have this problem. Brand new, no defects! I've used the rain boots several times in heavy rain and had no issues with leaks or wet socks. Keeps my feet nice and warm and I could care less if I step into a huge puddle! I will say these boots are slightly heavy. I don't think I would walk all day in them.Color: The navy is matte and is a true navy. Not too dark. Pairs really well with pretty much any color rain jacket.Price: I got these for right around 107 which I thought was a good deal for Hunter boots! I've seen several pairs for way more.
After reading reviews on various Hunter styles, some saying size up or down and calf size too wide, I worried that this style would not fit so was pleased when they arrived (quickly - a few days) and they fit true to size. They are a bit loose around the shaft and I tried throwing them on without the socks and rain did manage to find its way in. With hunter cardigan sock liner, they are perfect and if I tried to go down a size, I don't think I would be able to pull them off. They have kept my feet warm and dry for a rainy dog walk without feeling clunky and the foot bed is comfortable and moderately supportive. I wear a women's size 8 and that is what I ordered
These boots are perfection!! High quality, super sturdy craftsmanship, yet extremely comfortable. They mold perfectly to your feet. Fit is true to size (sz.8 -39 EU). The presentation box is beautiful as well.You honestly can’t go wrong with Hunter.A must buy, they’re too gorgeous to pass up.
I live in Seattle, have a dog and wear these boots every day in the rain and mud -- while also walking on a lot of concrete. (I bought inserts so ease the PSI on the pavement.) I especially like the height of the boot which is 17" -- taller than almost all other rain boots. They also have a slightly higher heel than most rain boots - not much but a little. I like that feature. The downside is I wear a 10.5. While I decided on a 10 (I tried on both an 11 and a 10) the 10 is a might bit snug so I can only wear only the thinnest of socks -- so kind of wish I had bought an 11. If I had one wish, I wish Hunter would make half-sizes. I have only purchased "knock-offs" before and they normally last only two winters before a crack sets in. I will be interested to see if Hunter Boots hold up longer. They look a lot better than knock-offs -- but they also cost 3 to 4 times as much!
I love these boots, However, I ordered them in a size 7, and they’re just a tad bigger, so I wouldn’t say true to size. Also, the calf is a little tight/narrow.
These are my second pair and I love these! Better for narrow feet than some other popular brands. I like that they are all one piece. Wash off easily...I wear them a ton...great for the beach too
I love the design. These are nice knee high boots. They’re comfortable and fashionable.
I bought these for my daughter and she loves them. They are great for working at the barn
