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.

Super Wellies,
By
This review is from: Hunter Unisex Original Adjustable Wellies (Apparel)
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.

Best Wellies Ever!!!,
By
This review is from: Hunter Unisex Original Adjustable Wellies (Apparel)
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!

Dry feet in adjustable chocolate wellies,
By Studentspender (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hunter Unisex Original Adjustable Wellies (Apparel)
I wanted to replace my worn out, overly bright, budget wellies with something more sophisticated. These Hunters are very good quality, although I'm not sure how long the glue on the side 'expander' section will last... They reach almost to my knee (I'm 5ft9) and the choc colour is very dark brown, which is what I wanted. I bought my usual shoe size which fits foot/ankle with plenty of room for movement and thick socks. However, I will just say that although they fit my wider than average calves well (with space for jeans), if I'd expected the sleek, non-adjustable Hunter look (only available to the skinny-calved!) then I would have been disappointed as you do get a bunching up on the outside of each leg where the expanding section material does its job and sticks out. These will get a lot of wear as I've found wellies are the best footwear in city snow/ice (and now constant rain) and these ones are presentable enough to go anywhere.
