Hunter Originals Wellington Boots
Growing up on a farm I wore wellingtons a lot and from what I remember they were always too big, too uncomfortable and left my feet too cold. I vowed to never wear them once I became a city girl. But you know the saying, never say never.
When recent downpours became a regular part of my life and having a dog meant I couldn’t hide from it, plus the fact I was spending every day walking the beach, I became in need of some water proof boots. But not just any boots - they had to be stylish. Because I wasn’t working on a farm - I’m wearing expensive dresses and still want to look pretty.
With hundreds of recommendations in tow for Hunter Wellington Boots, I ordered a pair (a half size down) and when they came I was instantly smitten and wondered why I’d waited so long! They’re stylish, easy to get on/off, so comfortable, and they fit like a (waterproof) glove. They look great walking in tidal pools or on the streets in a downpour. In fact, I’m hoping in rains tomorrow just so I have reason to wear them out.

I was thinking of getting these! In pink! heh. In your opinion, how do the JCrew ones compare?
The redesign is lovely, but I have to say I’d prefer new content to new design … it’s been so long!
Shimmer: I looked at the JCrew ones but I didn’t like the shorter height - they made me feel stumpy. The Hunters are very tall - like riding boots - which to me seem more stylish and practical. Also, they’re just made a lot better.
Chan: I’ll be adding products when I have some extra time. The new design was part of the process to make it easier (the site now runs on WordPress).
