Hunter Boots Sizing: How Well Do They Fit?

Hunter Boots work for the function and the fashion, but they need to work for the fit, too. These boots don’t stretch, or do half sizes, and are made of uncomfortable material. As a result, you should size up when Hunter boots sizing.

These thick, rubber boots are the perfect garment to ensure your feet and legs stay dry in the harshest of weather.

However, the boots can be something of a pain to fit. So in this Hunter boots sizing guide, we’ll supply charts and tips to ensure as much comfort as possible from these chunky yet sleek rain boots.

 

Do Hunter Rain Boots Run Small or Big?

Hunter rain boots fit mainly true to size for the average foot. Wider feet may have some difficulty finding wiggle room in the constricting boots.

Foot

In some cases, you should treat the boots like they run small, as they don’t come in half sizes.

Due to the nature of the boots, you should size up if your size is unavailable. It’s always better to have shoes too large than too small.

Shoes that are too small can chafe, force your toes into unnatural slanting positions, and pinch.

If your shoes are too big, the worst-case scenario is that you trip because your feet are sliding around in the boots. It’s fixable with a pair of chunky socks, or a sock full of cotton wool placed in the toes of the boot.

Calf

Hunter boots generally fit well in the calf too, but you may have an issue if you have wide calves.

Luckily, among the boot Hunter sale stock are some wide calves options.

We’re going to provide charts for every measurement.

How To Measure for Hunter Boots

To ensure your Hunter boots sizing is as accurate as possible, you’ll need to have your exact foot and calf measurements before making a purchase.

Measuring Your Feet

Hunter boots don’t have width options for your feet, so that’s one measurement you won’t need. Basically, if you take a wide in most shoes, size up. If you take a narrow, wear thick socks with Hunter boots.

Now, here’s how to measure the length of your feet:

1. Take a blank sheet of paper and a ruler.
2. Draw a line down the page with the ruler.
3. Place the page on a flat surface like wood or tile.
4. Line the edge of the page up with a straight wall.
5. Step onto the page and line your longest toe up with the line.
6. Ensure your heel is gently touching the wall.
7. Mark the tip of your longest toe.
8. Repeat the process for your other foot.
9. Measure the distance between the edge of the page and the markings for your larger foot.
10. Use this measurement for your boots sizing.

Measuring Your Calf

Measuring your calf is much simpler, but you’ll need to do it twice.

First, you need to measure your calf standing. Take a soft, flexible measuring tape and wrap it around your calf. Hold the measurement, using your thumb as a placeholder, then take a look.

Afterward, sit down and repeat the measurement. If you press your leg back against a chair, your calf may spread out a little. You need to know whichever boots you choose will be able to accommodate it.

If You Don’t Have a Soft Measuring Tape

Not everyone has a fabric measuring tape, and that’s fine. They’re not always easy to come by.

But what most people will have near them is a non-elasticated string. Whether it comes from the arts and crafts section or it’s an extra-long shoelace, it doesn’t matter. But you need to be willing to part with it if you use it.

You do the same as you would with the measuring tape—wrap it around your leg. Except for this time, tie it in place then snip off the excess.

Snip the string or shoelace down the middle and measure it.

Mismatched Measurements

Like boots, humans aren’t perfect.

The imperfection could come as botched measurements or as accurate measurements that don’t line up.

If you’re finding that your legs won’t fit into the boot that matches your foot length, don’t fret. Take the measurements a few more times to be sure.

However, if things still aren’t lining up, Hunter boots just may not be for you.

If you truly have your heart set on Hunter boots, there are a few options still available to you:

• Hunter boots short footwear—These Hunter boots won’t come up your calf and will only protect your feet from rain.
• Refined Narrow—If your legs are too narrow for the Original Tall Hunter boots, consider Hunter boots Refined Narrow.
• Huntress boots—Although we haven’t provided a chart for calf height, some people are of a shorter stature. This means the average boots won’t fit. Huntress boots were made for shorter calves. Shorter men can simply neglect to tell their friends the name of these Hunter boots.

Squeezing In

If your measurements are only slightly too large for Hunter boots sizing, by less than an inch or so, you may be able to squeeze into Hunter boots.

Use vaseline on your legs, or another form of lubricant, when getting the boots on and off. The smooth rubber of the boots is accommodating for this.
