If you've never seen Hunter boots, well, your lying. Hunter boots, most commonly called "Wellies" are found everywhere from Nordstroms to Ebay and everywhere in between. They come in every color in the rainbow, and a lot of unique shades. They have different lengths, from short Wellies that go only to the ankle to long Wellies that go about to the knee. Hunter has partnered with Rag Bone, as well as successfully making a TON of different styles of boot, including different colored horizontal stripes and buckles. 

If your like me, chances are you've been longing for a pair of Hunters, even if you don't particularly care to admit it to yourself. Because the truth is, they're an investment. And in order to make a smart decision on any investment, you need to do your research. Hopefully this post will help you  help guide you to make the decision if they are worth the investment. 

Reviews: 

Although I am currently not in possession of a pair of Hunter boots, both my sisters (22 years old and 19 years old) are. After hearing their reviews, as well as online customers from Nordstroms and The official Hunter boots website, I have compiled a set of generalized reviews: 

1. Generally, over 90% of Hunter customer reviews say they would recommend Hunter boots. Many say that the description listed on websites is exactly the color/ fit of the boot. 

2. Many customers say that the Hunter boots are durable, and last for a long duration of time (depending on weather conditions where you are located), and the Hunter boots are able to withstand long periods of rain

3. Costumers generally say that the product is very comfortable

4. Most customers say that the Hunter boots do not fade over an extensive period of time, and never rub off their pigmentation on another surface

5. Lots of customers rave about the compliments the receive when wearing the boots

6.  One of the only general complaints I have seen within reviews of Hunter boots are that they tend to run a bit wide and large in the size, so just take that into consideration if you are looking to purchase the boots. It is better to go down a half size then go up.
