Hunter's story began in Scotland, where footwear was originally designed for the country's rugged terrain and unpredictable weather. What started as functional outdoor wear evolved into a cultural phenomenon when Hunter received recognition in 1986, cementing its status as British craftsmanship excellence. The signature boot, recognized worldwide by its distinctive green design and robust construction, remains at the heart of Hunter's range. Today, Hunter balances heritage with innovation, offering reliable weather resistance and cushioned support across women's outdoor boots and men's boots that perform equally well in countryside mud or city rain.
The iconic green boot remains Hunter's most recognizable silhouette, now available alongside modern colourways including black, navy, red, and seasonal hues. Beyond the classic tall design, Hunter's range includes Chelsea styles for streamlined looks, ankle boots for easier wear, and adjustable designs with side buckles for personalized calf fit. Short options offer practicality for lighter rain, while tall designs provide full-length coverage for deeper water and mud. Each style maintains Hunter's commitment to durable construction and all-day wearability. Whether you need women's wellies for everyday wear or robust boots for outdoor adventures, Hunter's range spans practical function and fashion-forward design.

Hunter FAQ's
Are Hunter wellies true to size?
Hunter products generally run accurately, though fit varies slightly between styles. Most designs fit well at your regular size, with room for thick socks during colder months. If between sizes, stay with your usual size rather than sizing down, as Hunter footwear is designed to accommodate hosiery. Check individual product descriptions for style-specific guidance, particularly for Chelsea or ankle boot designs which may fit differently than tall options.
Are Hunter wellies worth it?
Hunter footwear represents a premium investment justified by several factors. The brand's recognition demonstrates excellence in craftsmanship and quality standards. Hunter products use durable natural materials that withstand years of wear, making them more cost-effective long-term than cheaper alternatives requiring frequent replacement. The construction genuinely shields in heavy rain and deep water, while cushioned footbeds provide lasting support. Hunter's reputation—built over 168 years—reflects consistent performance and durability.
How to clean Hunter wellies?
Cleaning Hunter footwear maintains appearance and extends lifespan. Rinse boots with cold water to remove mud and dirt, using a soft brush for stubborn marks. Avoid hot water, which can damage materials. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap or Hunter's boot buffer, applying gently with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat because radiators and hairdryers can cause damage and cracking. Once dry, apply Hunter Boot Shine or conditioner to restore lustre and protect materials. For specialized cleaning products, explore our shoe care range designed for maintenance.

The materials, construction methods, and quality control processes preserve the heritage design and functionality.
