Hey there - I'm Ashley, reviewing on my boyfriends account (hi!): I'm an active dog walker in the Seattle proper area- hence the need for good, legit rain boots that I can walk in for more then 10 min at a time. Found these bad boys... (after a CRAP ton of research- I'm talking unnecessary hours hah) Heard alot of hype around the brand and I can't promise these are real Hunter rainboots (I'd like to hope so) but they are pretty great so far.Size: I'm one of those sizes that are weirdly between a 10 and an 11.. usually going for men's shoes because they fit so good for that half sizish. I was sold on a 10 as they run "bigger". It fits my foot almost to perfect from heel to toe with a thick sock on, but its not uncomfortable unlesss you are walking downhill... then its an ouch.Durability: Its a thicker rubber so its pretty durable. The seems do not appear to be leak worrisome and they have some awesome grip as I tried these out during a lull in a snow storm and everywhere was icy!Fit: The fit is comfortable and I have worm them for a few walks now, never blistering. I would suggest tall socks, warmers, or pants to be worn with these as I said they are thick rubber and I can see the potential for that happening as they rub slightly while walking.Temperature: Toes got a little chilly (again, walking in a couple inches of snow/ice but nothing crazy) Foot stayed warm all in all.Color: I got the hunter green, which is the darker of the greens. Its truly a darker green/black and matte-LOVE IT. True PNW pride right here (LOL).I hope that helps narrow your search some - sorry for the novel but these were the things I was looking for when purchasing - as I walk ALOT and needed something durable, comfortable, warm, waterproof, and grip! Give these a shot if you can! I think you'll be thrilled.
These boots are durable, comfortable and easy to get on and off.
I ordered a size 10 because I've been a solid 10 in other shoes/boots. I should have ordered a size 9. Now I'm stuck with giant boots I can't return
High quality material and good fit, ordered the wrong color. Other than that I will buy again.
It was a gift and she loves them
