The Original boot. It may be the most known Hunter wellie ever. This is my third pair of navy blue Hunter originals. As many people have claimed, these china made boots have cheaper feeling that "made in Scotland" old school wellies.

Two pairs of scottish original Hunters before these gave me some view of quality changes. New made in China boots are different than older ones, but very very good boot tho. This particular pair feels some how rigid, but after heavy use they are very comfortable.

Best thing in Hunters is that you can wear them all day long and your feet wont get sore. I have walked quite long trips with Original Hunters with smile in my face, 15 kilometers like nothing. Sometimes in forest, other time in city on asphalt.

Another advantage is narrow footbed and instep, so boots will stay on your foot even if you go faster or in deep mud. Couple of times I have even gone swimming with my Hunters pulled on. There is no fear that boots would slip off.

This is very important feature when you want to walk or run with your boots. It is not good if your wellies slosh around like crazy.

What if you boots get wet inside? Well, in first place it doesn't matter very much if weather is reasonable, in my opinion the feeling is so nice. But if you want to dry the lining of Hunters, it seems to be so easy, just let your wellies lay on sun about an hour and thats it! An other way that I have used many times, just put one towel inside your wellie and step on it, after that your boots feel nearly dried. Absolutely useful!
