Hunter Boots

Needed a new pair of rain boots and did some research on Hunters. Yes, I am a SAHM so we live kind of on a budget but to pay an average of $150.00 on rubber boots seems crazy. Is it really because of the logo?
I do buy some designer items, we own our home in a an expensive LI suburb and actually got a $100.00 pair of Sorel snow boots but do not understand the rain boots. I just wore my 29.00 fun and unique looking Realtree boots in pink ....they are doing the too!

Hunter Boots

I have a pair, eh I dont love them
I find them slippery and not warm at all

Re: Hunter Boots

if you dont want to spend 150, check out Henry Ferrera! I bought a pair of wedge ones for like $12 on one of those discount sites 2 yrs ago. They are under $50 on average. They run BIG.

Re: Hunter Boots

For me, they were an investment but I commute into NYC - walk to/from the office from Penn Station, and to/from the train station from my house -
The are NOT for the snow b/c your feet will freeze - but in my situation, they are an absolutel necessity. I went through 4 or 5 pairs of the 'cheap' rainboots b/c I didn't want to spend "$150 on a pair of rubber rain boots" .......but it really was worth it in the end for me

Re: Hunter Boots

I feel like with Hunters you really are just paying for the name.
It's like a style thing

And reading that blog you posted above- I see the quality isn't all that great either- her;s were breaking down and getting ruined super fast!


I couldn't reconcile $150 on a pair of boots I'd rarely wear. I really don't wear rain boots often- I find them hard to get on and off and harder to drive in.

So it's more like an occasional use things

Hence why the Kamik's were perfect for me

I every time I see people wearing them as a status/style thing - they are freaking RUBBER RAIN BOOTS for God's sake - they are functional - they're not Manolo or Jimmy Choo or Louboutin - there's nothing 'cute' about them !! And yet, you see women who build entire outfits around these stupid boots! I'm like - yeah, stuff my legs in those bad boys and wear a dress/skrit so I'm not stuffing my pants in too and call it a day!

Re: Hunter Boots

I wear Capelli rain boots, $30 from amazon and I rave about them. I wear those suckers all the time!

Hunter Boots

I have Hunters and I love them. I bought them 5 years ago. They are in absolutely perfect condition. And didn't mind spending the $. I used to commute so they were great for that (which I still do just a bit less now) and I love them on a day like today I had to run errands all morning they were perfect.
To each is own but I love mine and when I got them 5 years ago they weren't 150 they were def a bit cheaper BUT even at 150 to have them 5 years later with lots of wear is a great investment in shoes. I spent $20 on shoes I literally have never worn cause I realized too late they hurt my feet now THATS a waste of $. Everyone is different and has different tastes and decide whats a good investment for them =)

Re: Hunter Boots

I have hunters and love them.

Re: Hunter Boots

I have chooka rainboots. I love them so much that I got a second pair this year. They are about $60.

Re: Hunter Boots
