Some weeks ago got my new blue Hunter original wellies. Styling has changed a little bit. Boot itself has changed a lot too.
Rubber material is different than before, somehow it feels more flexible meanwhile it is not thinner. Perhaps there has been some improvment against aging, only time will tell how robust boots thes are in use.
Fitting is much wider too, the footbed is wider and shafts are at least 1 cm wider now. Both changes are not so welcome to me, old model was better. But if you have thick calves so these boots are for you. Can't say that they are sloshing anyways.
Insoles are included with this new model. They are quite thin, and after some use they are rolling around.
After some tests I must say that these wellies are very comfortable tho. They are comfortable and nice for walking. I suggest.
Where do you buy your Hunters and what is the cost? I have found some Hunters in Finnish stores but the biggest size has been 42 which is too small for me and color variety is also very limited. It would be good to test the correct size somewhere before making an order but I think I'm running out of options. Finnish wellies usually have too wide last for my foot so I am looking for something narrower.
ReplyDeleteMostly I buy Hunters from Ebay. In UK there is plenty of sellers. Sometimes you can find brand new Hunters around 80 eur, including posting to Finland. These cobalt blue wellies cost me 120 eur.
ReplyDeleteI haven't found my size Hunters in Finnish stores either.
Hunters sizing is correct in my opinion, most of my shoes are size 44 and Hunters are size 44 (10 UK) also.
Hunter boots last is significantly narrower than Finnish wellies, I think you should really try them.
