Hunter Boots - sizing

julijuli

All this dreary, rainy weather has tempted me to buy a pair of Hunter boots on E-Bay. Do you all know if they work for shorter gals? From the Nordies site it looks like they measure 15" at the shaft which I think would go above my knees! Does anyone that is shorter (5' 3" - 5' 4") have a pair of these?

Thanks!

Yes, I do. I'm 5'1" but my legs are proportionally long. My Hunter boots are a US size 6 and I just measured the shaft -- it's 14.5". They go up to about 1" below my knee. If I were one inch taller, they would be perfect. As it is they are a little too tall, but who cares, they're wellies! For me, they are gear, not fashion. They do a great job of keeping my feet and pants dry, they are comfy enough to walk around in all day, and just stylish enough to keep me from looking like a farmer.

They are fairly tall in the shaft. I'm 5ft 7in with longish legs and mine hit just below my knee. I find I can't crouch down for car washing as they are so tall. Re the sizing I usually take a UK 6.5 so I had to round up to the next whole size which gives me the perfect amount of extra room for a pair of welly warmers x

They must adjust the shaft height to the size of the footbed, then. What size feet do you have, julijuli?

I wear a 7.5 - 8. I'm wondering how high those will be...looks like it will be more than 14.5 which would probably be just a little too high for me. Bummer.
