They slide on and off so much easier when you are wearing a pair of socks. My daughter is extra careful to always wear socks with her Hunter boots because she has an allergy to rubber and latex so it would be all bad if she tried to wear them without socks. Since I keep my Hunter boots in my vehicle, it is great that they have an anti-bacterial lining. This amazing feature keeps them from having a nasty odor which would then stink up my car. This feature is definitely a perk when you decide to invest money in a pair of Hunter boots instead of cheaper brands.
As we know, rubber can make our feet sweat and then stink so this is a great feature of these boots for all people, including children and teens. Many people freak out a little bit when their Hunter boots get a white powdery film on them. This process is called blooming and it happens not long after you purchase the boots. This is a natural process for the rubber since it is real rubber and not synthetic like knock-off versions and it is nothing to be concerned about.
Sometimes they can be harder to shine up to look nice during this process but a good boot care kit would be worth purchasing to counteract the effects of the blooming when it is more noticeable, especially if you have purchased a darker color of Hunter boots. I personally like them to be shiny. I like using the Hunter boot shine sponge that I purchased with my boots and there are cleaners on Amazon that will clean up your Hunter boots quite nicely.
After the blooming process was over, I only have to clean mine when I have to wear them in the mud because the rest of the time they look nice and are shiny. When I have a lot of mud caked on them, I use a mild soap and water mixture to clean them with and they look good as new. The matte finish does look a little more natural but this shiny, glossy, finish just looks more stylish, at least to me.
From black or Brown to Kelly green and hot pink, Hunter boots come in a variety of different colors for you to choose from, and they even have some styles that offer two or three different tones of colors for each pair of boots. I like the hot pink version because that is my favorite color not to mention the hot pink is very visible when I am at an accident scene or other breaking news in which I need to be visible to rescue workers so I am not in the way and I do not get hurt.
For example, I recently conducted an entire interview with a construction worker while standing under a huge load of stone in the shovel part of a bulldozer. I really need to pay more attention but luckily the guy could see me because of my hot pink Hunter boots! You should also consider the season in which you will most often be wearing your Hunter boots. For example, if you wear them the most in the fall time of the year, a pair of brown or dark green may be the colors to choose from rather than a pink or other lighter color which would look more stylish during the spring and summer months.
If you do not like slip-on boots and find them to be annoying, Hunter boots do offer zipper versions. I love the ease of my slip-on Hunter boots but taking them off is a different story, especially if they are covered in mud. I may try the Original Slim Zipper boot in the future just to see if I like it better.
The Original Slim Zipper boots are not slimmer than the original versions but they do have the same fit and offer a hidden zipper along the outside of each boot. If you live in a larger city where you do a lot of walking to get to where you are going or you are traveling or visiting a location in which you are going to be doing a ton of walking, you may want to opt for a shorter pair of Hunter boots.
The Chelsea boot is a good option to choose from or even the Play boot as those are two of the shorter Hunter boot styles that are on the market today. They still give you protection from rain and the wet ground but they come just above the ankle and boast two elastic gussets on each side that makes them much easier to put on and take off. They help your feet move in a more comfortable manner and the elastic also gives a different texture to the boots that give them more of a modern style.
The Play Boot is great since it is made with a lighter material than the original boots are and they are percent waterproof. If you want to wear a less clunky and tall boot but like the taller versions, or if you have to walk long distances because you live in a city or are planning on traveling in a wet climate, a shorter boot is the way to go.
Shorter boots are also a great option if you have larger calves and have issues with finding the right pair of boots to fit you properly. However, their fittings, on the whole, tend to be more accurate than not. If you usually wear a half size it is recommended that you wear a half size down to get an ideal fit. Hunter wellies have been best known to fit comfortably.
There are many questions surrounding whether Hunter wellies are appropriate for people with wider calves. The answer is yes! To avoid any discolouration, leave to dry out of direct sunlight or near artificial sources of heat.
If there are stubborn marks, stains or dirt, once the boots are dry, clean again with hot soapy water. Avoid using abrasive tools to remove dirt, a tough sponge should do the trick. Due to the natural rubber properties that Hunter wellies are made from, in certain conditions, insoluble particles can begin to rise to the surface of the boot.
It is a signal of high-quality rubber and nothing to worry about in terms of durability or performance. When first wearing your hunters, the rubber might be slightly stiff. A brand that after years, only continues to increase in popularity. That brand is Hunter. The British based company was not always about making fashionable rain gear — they started out making rubber boots for soldiers in the army. These purely functional boots eventually became fashionable when they were seen gracing the feet of some high profile women — Princess Diana and Kate Moss to name a few.
Thanks to their practicality, classic design and impeccable quality, Hunter boots continue to soar in popularity across the world. I love Hunter boots for both function and fashion. These waterproof boots work just as well in the snow as they do the rain. I bought my first pair of Hunter boots about 4 years ago and am still wearing them today.

The Refined style is similar to the Original Hunter boot, with some slight modifications improvements in my opinion. The Refined boot takes the classic style and tailors it to create a taller and more polished silhouette. One that is slimmer, sleeker and more chic — its sure to be flattering on anyone. The curve of the toe is also reduced for a less rounded look.
Both Original and Refined styles come in a gloss or matte finish and both are equally attractive. For me, the difference is in the maintenance. The first pair of Hunters I purchased were glossy. To my surprise that beautiful glossy finish deteriorated fairly quickly and my shiny new boots became dull within a matter of weeks. I personally prefer the more understated matte look and find them easier to care for. Both the Original and Refined boots come in tall and short styles.
I own both and think they each have their advantages. Simply put, the tall are more stylish and the short are more practical. The tall boots are more flattering and easy to style. On the flips side, the shorter style is easier to put on and take off. The lighter and more compact design also makes them more portable and easier to carry around or travel with.
It all depends on what you want them for. Keep in mind that depending on the style you choose, the boot could vary slightly in height. The height also gets taller as you increase in size so refer to size charts. Exactly what the name says, the original Hunter Boot with a Generally this version will work for most people, however girls with larger calves may need to check out the versions with a wider opening. The short version of the original Hunter Boot with a This is a great version for a traditional rain boot, they are easy to slip on and off.
This version is for ladies who need a little extra room in the calf area. This version has a slightly wider opening at This version has a 15 inch shaft, which is the same as the original boot. It also offers an adjustable opening ranging from 15 — 20 inches. In the original version I wear an 8 and they are snug around my calf and leave no room for a boot sock. The adjustable version allows me to wear it with our without a boot sock, giving me more options.
These Hunter Boots actual fold up to fit in a suitcase. These are great if you plan on traveling with them, like I did on my trips to Iceland and Quebec City.
They are available in both the tall and short options. A newer take on the classic Hunter boot is the Chelsea Rainboot.
These are ideal to wear on warmer days and when you want a more shoe like feel. Add a boot sock for extra warmth and extra fashion. They have a bunch of options for socks.
