Rainboots are a necessary fall/winter/early spring item for ones shoe closet, yet I've held back on purchasing a pair for my entire 28 years of life because I've always thought they were ugly duck boots that were heavy and a pain to wear when the rain stops, and you're stuck wearing rubber boots around the city. Alas! My mind has been changed. These boots are stylish with or without rain, and of course when it does rain, these Hunter shorties are 100% waterproof, comfortable beyond belief, and a great buy. I get compliments on them every time I wear them. For the ladies with thicker calves, I would suggest not buying tall Hunters since they won't flatter the wider parts of your leg. With these shorter mid-calf boots, the larger opening at the top makes your calf look smaller and flatters thicker legs.

I just received both the Hunter original short in matte and this pair of refined short in glossy. The glossy ones fit my foot better and are lighter. I do prefer this pair of glossy better then the original short but the size 7 is to narrow for my feet. They rub slightly on the widest part of my feet. I might be able to live with that but one side pushes down on the top of my foot and it is pretty uncomfortable. I am a solid size 7 in most shoes and am disappointed in having to send these back. I do own 2 other pairs of hunters in a size 7 and the original short fits my foot fine. I will try the one size up. This really is the disadvantage of ordering shoes on-line. Back they go.

Order up a size!! So disappointed. When I initially tried these on inside they seemed fine. But when I wore them outside for a day they were too tight especially in the heal and on top of the foot... :( Was really excited to have a pair of Hunter boots..

Fit is OK. Length is good, plenty of toe wiggle room. The heal is narrow. Boot is tight on top of foot due to my high arch.

These boots are so cute and I would definitely recommend them. They’re pretty comfortable, I wore them for a couple hours walking around the first day I got them and my feet were pretty comfortable afterwards. I got compliments on them too, not as shiny as the picture but definitely a gloss. Mid calf rise.

Love the refined style! I love that I can wear them all day and don’t feel like I’m clomping around in a clunky pair of boots. I normally wear size 11 but all my Hunter boots are 10.

I ordered the pale rose boots and love them!! What a pretty pink color! I was skeptical about ordering another pair of Hunters. I've had trouble with the original tall hunter boots not fitting well in the past, felt they were too bulky or the calf was too wide. Glad I discovered the original refined line! I'm 5'2" with slender/average calves and these look great, more form fitting. I'm a true size 8 in all shoes and the size 8 in the original refined short gloss fit perfectly. No need to size up or down. Walking in them is pretty comfortable. Highly recommend the original refined over the original hunters for the average woman. You will not be disappointed!

I love these rain boots! I couldn’t justify spending $150 on rain boots, but because these were discounted by $45, I was sold! Also, they are very stylish (refined) and not clunky at all. They are great for someone with narrow feet, like myself. They are true to size and fit well with cabin socks. Not for someone with wide feet. Got the navy, very classic color and style.

I bought these for my daughter-in-law who had just started working in the city and was walking to work. She said these are great rain boots that do what they are supposed to do...keep her feet dry!

Liked the shaft height but this boot fits closer across the top of my foot and isn't as comfortable as the tall version.

My daughter loves these boots! the color is perfect and can be worn with many things! The boot is short in length which makes them extra comfortable.

Decided to go with a short rain boot as have the traditional tall Hunter & find it heavy & uncomfortable. The Hunter refined short fits the bill.

Great rain boots! These fit me much better then the originals. My feet swam in the originals, but sizing down didn't work either. These are a bit narrower and fit true to size. Relatively comfortable for rain boots. I love them!

Love these! I really like this new 'refined" look. Less bulky and a little more sleek, plus lighter weight. I bought the Short Gloss Refined in black for when I need a more professional look running around the city in bad weather. Then I can make it more casual with camp socks. I am a 10, but sized down to a size 9. I also purchased the tall refined boot in matte black for heavier snow, etc.
I'd also recommend:
ugg, sorel, superga, nike

The Dulce color is beautiful! It's a deep, rich maroon that will be great in place of brown boots! The fit was accurate, although they are a little hard to get on and off. I'm thinking that will improve once they're broken in though. Overall, I'm very happy with them and am considering getting them in another color, as well!

I just got this rainy boots and I love them. It said to order half size up so I got them in 8 they fit a little big, but with big fluffy socks will work! Can't wait for the rain season to start so I can wear them !

I ordered these boots in the gloss clay color. I loved the color, and I love the "refined style." Unfortunately for me, the refined style is just a little too narrow, not only in width but in the angle getting the boot off and on. After trying a couple of sizes, I realized that I need the ORIGINAL original Hunter boot. They are better for me. I COULD have worn the larger size in the refined boot, but getting them off was an issue for a single woman nearing 70!!!

Loved the color/gloss of these Hunter boots. They are the ones for me if I can get the fit right. Based on reviews, I thought going down a half size was the right thing to do. NOT for me. Will try again if available in this color in larger size.
