Perfect, exactly as described and expected. Now waiting for a gully washer so I can show them offPerfect boots!Combinan con todo y lo mejor en epoca de lluvias funcionan muy bienOrdered a 7, hard to take off even with or without inserts. Wish they had half sizesThese are comfortable and very useful.The straps are stiff and do nothing except catch on things and make it impossible to cross my legs. I cut them off and like the boots better now. The calf height is quite tall and a bit high behind the knee when I sit. But I wear them a lot and my feet are happy in them. The finish is soft and flexible and the footbed has stability. Getting my money’s worth out of these.Very happy with my purchase! I was super skeptical to order this not knowing exactly what I would receive. First of all, the description says “snow boots”. I searched and searched and couldn’t find any hunter snow boots that look exactly like their rain boots. I can verify these are not snow boots, they are the original hunter rain boots. Second, the color was listed simply as “green”. Hunter makes these boots in 2 or 3 different shades of green, so I really wasn’t sure which I would receive but I was thrilled to see they are “hunter green” which is exactly what I wanted. I spent weeks reading reviews about whether to size up or size down with hunter boots. I decided to size down. I’m a 7.5 and I ordered a 7, they fit perfect. Of course they are a little tough to get off, but any rain boot is tough to get off lol. I also live in miami and will not be wearing these with any thick socks or anything like that.. bought purely for rain. If you live in a colder climate and plan on wearing thick/warm boot socks with them, I’d probably suggest you size up instead of down. Now for my last point- these obviously came from a retail store as the sticker on the bottom says “wall display”, but they were in perfect condition with zero scuffs or anything like that. Regular price is $150 so for $86, these were a steal!Boots were fine, but my foot is a 6.5, and even with thick socks, they were too large. I sent back, but the boots themselves were excellent quality, just too big.The very first Hunters I bought lasted for 25 years and I lived in them virtually night and day for dog walking, horse riding and the occasional festival. They might have lasted even longer but one got lost during a house move so I had to buy another pair. Sadly, the quality of these was clearly not as good as my original pair and have lasted for just less than five years (which is still a reasonably good performance, just not exceptional, as before). These were slightly taller than my original pair and ended up cracking along the sole, leaking at the heel and the rubber splitting over the top of the foot. Still, I love the style of Hunters and based on past good reputation I bought yet another pair. On arrival I was less than impressed with the quality of the boots. They now look very cheap indeed. It's as if the manufacturer has dramatically cut costs by using the cheapest materials available but is still charging high end retail prices. When I tried the boots on, I found that the interior soles were smaller than the actual length of the boots leaving an uncomfortable gap at the toes. Needless to say, I have returned them. It's such a shame that the standards have slipped so drastically on what was originally an exceptionally good product.These were a replacement pair for a pair that leaked in that were purchased in 2017. Unfortunately within 12 months the replacement have also started to leak. These boots come with a 2 year guarantee from Hunter and so Amazon replaced the first pair but now refuse to replace the second pair. Hunter refuse to honour the guarantee as Amazon are not an authorised supplier. These boots are overpriced for such poor quality and if you purchase from Amazon you are unlikely to get a replacement if they fail within the 2 year warranty period.I have been an Amazon Customer for aggggeeees, and this is the first time I have felt compelled to write any kind of negative review, but I feel it important for others to see this before using this company. I received the boots and straight away thought "mmm... not sure they are real". I have had Hunters before, and this pair just didn't feel right to me. So, I took another look at the reviews for them on Amazon and saw that others people had felt the same. Furthermore, on the occasions that the boots did malfunction, getting a refund from this company seemed a nightmare. The boots are not cheap, so I decided to go with my instinct, return them on the basis that they didn't seem quite right, and buy from Hunter direct. Amazon - utterly brilliant as always - approved the request straight away and having boxed the boots up, I gave the matter no more thought. However, I have today received an e-mail from the company stating that I am wrong: that the boots are real, and that if I still want to return them, then "I am welcome" to submit a return request. This was my response:"I have already made a return request - authorised by Amazon - and do not to be told to do this by you, thanks. If someone wants to return something in the "no quibble" 30 day refund period, then don't quibble. And certainly don't send me e-mails telling me I am wrong. No wonder your company gets such bad reviews."Avoid :)2nd pair of Hunters that I've had, the first pair lasted about 8 years & when they died I had to order another pair! They are brilliant, comfortable & great for long wet walks with the dogs!Like so many others, these boots started to split and decay within a year of purchase. These were a present for my wife to be used for general dog walking, they're kept indoors and dry when not in use. She has had 2-3 previous pairs of wellies over the years, cheaper makes, and they've lasted for years and her last pair are still going with no splits or leaks.These were bought to be more comfortable (which they were) and more resilient (which they're definitely not).Supplier not interested as past the warranty.Don't both, for this price they should last years. Never again.
