Hunter Original Tall Welly Boot

These boots use to be manufactured in Scotland and were fantastice quality but are now made in China and Brazil.

They are now terrible quality and will not last long. But don't just take my word for it, just put into Google "Hunters poor quality"

Also look at these sites to see what many others are saying.....

My fiance bought me a pair of Hunters just 2 years ago and said that they would last for years. Both boots have developed cracks along the soles and are letting in water. It should also be noted that I do not wear them much. If they are used every day they may only last 6 months which is better as they have a 12 month guarantee!

I have worn Wellies for many years. Usually in green. This time, I decided to go for some color and love the red!

Wellies are excellent for any type of outdoor work from gardening, to mucking out barns and sheds ... even for a walk in the woods. They are large enough around the calf to allow pants to be tucked in. The buckle at the top allows you to cinch them closed in order to try to keep things out (straw, leaves, etc.). The optional liners are wonderful and easy to wash. Keep feet warm and dry which is a nice thing during Autumn and Winter!

I recommend the Hunter line because of the excellent quality - they will last for years and years with proper care.

I was so excited when I got Hunter boots for my birthday during the summer of 2010, living in Seattle you really can't get by without reliable rain boots. I did much research into rain boots, because again I live in Seattle. Of course I didn't break them out untill fall, and only a year later I was in about 1 inch of water and felt water coming into one of my boots. I thought huh? there must be a manufacturer defect, well Hunter seems like a good company i'm sure I could contact them. I decided to email them, the response I got was "Hunter boots are typically made for the rainy days that we do have. Of course, rain can accumulate and we can see knee deep inches of water but at Hunter, we would never recommend using any of our boots in any type flooding, whether it be 2" or 5" of water." So they really don't stand behind their word at all. I was shocked.
Why would anyone pay $125 for rain boots that are not waterproof? Then about a month ago the rubber of my boots cracked...Read more
