Founded in Edinburgh in 1856, Hunter's origins lie in supplying rubber boots for the agricultural and military markets of 19th century Britain. The Original wellington boot as it is known today has been refined over more than 60 years into one of the most produced and recognised items of British footwear, worn everywhere from the fields of agricultural Britain to the most prominent outdoor events in the country's social calendar. The brand's commitment to natural rubber construction and handcrafted production has remained at the core of its identity throughout.
Hunter Original Tall
The Original Tall is the boot that established Hunter's reputation and it remains the standard against which other wellies are measured. Each boot is handcrafted over three days on a bespoke aluminium last, with 28 individual components hand-assembled to create a boot of exceptional consistency and quality. The natural rubber construction is waterproof, durable and flexible, providing reliable protection underfoot in all conditions. The Original tread pattern on the outsole delivers dependable grip across wet, muddy and uneven surfaces, and the polyester lining keeps feet comfortable through extended wear.
Available for men and women in a range of classic and seasonal colourways, the Original Tall is the definitive choice for outdoor events, country pursuits and everyday use in unpredictable conditions.
Hunter Original Short
The Original Short brings the same handcrafted natural rubber construction as the Original Tall to a shorter, more versatile format. The reduced shaft height makes the boot easier to put on and take off, lighter to wear for everyday use and better suited to warmer conditions or situations where a full-height wellington would feel excessive. The same Original tread pattern and polyester lining carry over from the Tall, providing consistent performance and comfort in a more compact profile.
Available for men and women in coordinating colourways with the Original Tall range.
Hunter Downpour Collection
The Downpour is Hunter's more contemporary wellington collection, designed with sleeker lines and a lighter construction than the Original range. Built from a 100% rubber outer with a 100% recycled polyester lining, the Downpour combines Hunter's waterproof reliability with a more streamlined everyday profile and a nod to sustainability through its recycled lining.
The Downpour Tall provides maximum coverage in the Downpour aesthetic, suited to wetter conditions and those who prefer full-height protection. The Downpour Short offers a versatile mid-height option for everyday use. The Downpour Chelsea brings the Downpour construction to an ankle-height Chelsea boot format, with elastic side gussets and a pull tab for easy entry, making it the most practical and wearable option in the collection for everyday town and country use. The Downpour Chelsea is available as a unisex style.
Hunter Boot Socks
Hunter boot socks are designed specifically to be worn inside Hunter wellies, providing cushioning, warmth and moisture management that makes a significant difference to comfort during extended wear. Available in a range of lengths and weights suited to different conditions and boot heights, Hunter boot socks are the natural companion to any pair of Hunter wellies and help maintain the fit and feel of the boot through regular use.
