Detailed Review
The comfort of the Hunter Original Refined Short Rain Boots cannot be understated. The cushioned sponge insole molds to your foot for a comfortable fit, making them ideal for long wear during wet weather. With a heel height of just 1 inch, they offer elevation without sacrificing stability.
In terms of style, these boots strike the perfect balance between functionality and elegance. They come in classic black, making them versatile enough to pair with various outfits. The slimline design is great for those who prefer a fitted look rather than bulky rain boots.
Maintenance is relatively easy; however, keep an eye on the waxy film that may appear on the surface. Known as blooming, this is a common issue with rubber footwear exposed to extreme temperatures. It’s nothing to worry about, as it can be wiped away with a damp cloth, preserving the boot’s aesthetic over time.

User Reviews
I love these boots. Easy on, easy off. A little tight with thicker socks on but overall fit well. I love the more streamlined look and feel like they're a better fit for my downtown commute!
These are cute and sleek, but a little slimmer than the normal fit for Hunter boots
The logo on front of boots are black. Not red and white like photo shows. Returning item is such a bother especially with a newborn! Don’t buy!
Love them! Very comfortable and true to size. I normally wear a size 8 which is what I ordered and they fit great. Super cute too!!!
Wish I had returned them. What’s the point of paying extra for the Hunter logo when it is basically invisible? The Hunter logo in the front is all black, not the typical white/red. So mad I kept them.
Got these for her as a birthday present, she loves them. She has a pair of the almost knee high ones that have the same type of color as these, they are much heavier and bulky and probably won't ever get worn again so I wish I had bought these first.
Too narrow for wide feet. I ordered a half size up and I had a hard time taking off my boots. Once in the fit was a bit too snug. Wish they were roomier and came with a zipper. They looked fab on my feet but not functional at all for wide feet. I rated it a 4 for quality and look and comfort. Just so wish they were a bit roomier and easier to take off :-/
I was looking for a shorter snow/rain boot for work. These arrived and fit perfectly. Would highly recommend!
