Hunter Original Tall

The iconic all-rounder — handcrafted natural-rubber, fully waterproof, with a tall shaft and the classic versatile silhouette that goes with everything from jeans to a dress. Not insulated (needs warm socks in winter) and premium-priced, but the safe, stylish default.

The Hunter Original Tall combines genuine, reliable waterproofing with the iconic, versatile style that's made it a staple for decades. It's a handcrafted natural-rubber boot with fully waterproof construction, a tall shaft that keeps you dry through deep puddles and downpours, and the clean classic silhouette that goes with everything from jeans to a dress — as at home at a festival or city commute as on a muddy walk. The calendered rubber resists cracking, an Ortholite insole option adds comfort, and the sole has reasonable wet grip. It's not insulated (cold in winter without thick socks), the natural rubber feels stiff until broken in, the tall shaft doesn't suit every calf, and it's premium-priced — but for the best balance of true waterproofing, iconic versatile style, and all-round usability, it's the safe default.
