Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
In 1856, Henry Lee Norris, an American entrepreneur, landed on Scottish soil in search of a home for his boot making company. Having acquired a block of buildings in Edinburgh, known as the Castle Silk Mills, the North British Rubber Company (which much later became known as Hunter Boot Ltd) was registered as a limited liability company in September 1856. In the beginning there were only four people working for the company, by 1875 the team had grown to 600 members of staff. Production of wellington boots was dramatically boosted with the advent of World War I, when the company was asked by the British government to construct a sturdy boot suitable for the conditions in flooded trenches. The mills ran day and night to produce immense quantities of these trench boots. More than a million pairs were made to cope with the Army's demands. The fashionable boot was now a functional necessity. Hunter's most famous welly, the original Green wellington, was made over 50 years ago in the winter of 1955. It was the first orthopaedic boot that they made and was launched alongside the Royal Hunter--another boot that remains in Hunter's range today. Today, Hunter remains the preferred welly brand for those who like to work hard and play hard--there's a great range of boots to suit welly wearers all over the world--from the Royal Family to festival-goers, working farmers and landed gentry alike.

I bought these last year. I was after the Huntress style initially, to suit my larger than average calfs, but they werent really as high in the leg as I wanted.
I found sourcing them very hard anyway, and then realised it was because they are being phased out, in favour of this 'original adjustable calf boot'.
I do have other wellies, which I wear for gardening etc, but wanted to treat myself to a nice Black pair of Hunter boots.
I am very happy with the height on these, and of course they fit my calfs, even with skinny jeans tucked into them.
I find them very comfortable to walk in, and they are very good for snow and slush. They are water tight, and the legs are nice and thick compared to other wellies.
I would have given them 5 stars if they were a little cheaper, but since I got mine online, with a discount, I can't compain. I think you get what you pay for.

Colour Name:Navy| Size Name:5 UK|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered wellies on a cold Thursday evening heavy snow was forecast for the coming days but did'nt expect to actually receive them in time, much to my surprise I received them Saturday morning whilst it was snowing! Perfect!! could'nt wait to try them out and boy I wasn't disppointed! These wellies are the best i've ever had! No denying that they are a little expensive but at end of day you get what you pay for! I have always struggled to get wellies to fit properly as I have wide calfs (17" for any one interested!) and I am able to wear 2 pairs of socks plus still be able to tuck my jeans inside aswell with still plenty of room for adjustments at the side. They are easy to get on and off (another bug bare for me) really comfortable and easy to walk in and my feet don't seem to get as cold either! would definately recommend would be surprised if you were disapointed!

I purchased a pair of these wellies as a present for my wife. Within 3 months the heels had worn through to an internal cavity which then "pumped" water into the interior of the boot. The soles are also badly worn, and the boots are only used for walking the dogs, not mucking out the cows. Amazon have promised a refund as an "exception", being outwith the 30 day return period, although Hunter state on their website that they are warranted for 12 months, but have to be returned to the retailer. My wife and daughters have had several pairs of Hunter wellies in the past when they were made in Scotland,and they gave excellent service. I suspect the current manufacturers have compromised quality for fashion, and are trading on past reputation and the granting of the Royal Warrant. (Don't think her Maj would be too chuffed if hers were worn through after 3 months of walking the corgis!)
Sadly I have purchased my last pair of Hunters,Hunter Unisex Original Adjustable Wellies and bang goes another great British icon.

Don't buy Hunter Wellies
I bought a new pair of these wellies in July 2011 and the top surface of both have now split. For £60 they're a waste of money and not worth it. Don't buy them. Read more
