#Huntr boots upgrade#
Overall, these are a really warm upgrade to Hunter's OG tall boots. I'm a little over 5 feet tall, and this is an issue I have with any stiff knee-high boots, but if you're any taller than 5-foot-3-inches, you should be fine. I have this pair in a wide-leg size, which the company no longer makes, but they do have a shorter mid-calf pair that works well even for wide calves.Īnother thing to note is that the rim of the boots may hit the back of your thigh a bit as you go up and down the stairs. One thing to note about sizing, though, is that Hunter's tall boots have pretty narrow calves. As far as insulation goes, I've literally walked on the beach in a 30-something degree day while letting ocean water lap over the boots, and my feet stayed perfectly warm and dry. I put a pair of shearling insoles in mine for added softness and warmth around my toes, but the faux-shearling liner keeps my legs perfectly cozy.
Connie Chen, Insider Reviews senior reporterĪs far as warmth goes, these boots are all you need for a cold, wet day - they even work well in the snow. Tall boots can sometimes be difficult for me to take off, but I could put on and take off the pair above easily without worrying about being stuck in them. If you have thick calves, you should consider these shorter boots versus Hunter's classic tall style. I found while wearing my normal socks that there was a good amount of wiggle room, so once weather conditions really become dire, you'll be able to wear thick socks to stay warm. They feel sturdy, but they're not too heavy, and the outsole has a secure tread. The color, durability, and comfort of the boots make me instantly excited to trek through the rain, even though this California girl generally hates any precipitation.
At least, that was my reasoning behind choosing these yellow boots that would also help me stand out from a pack of black-clad New Yorkers. When all the dreary days of winter seem to blend together, sometimes all you need is a pop of color to brighten your day.
