Hunter Rain Boots for the College Girl
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked the Manolo the question.
Hello Manolo,
I’m a college student and in serious need of a pair of wellies…I had two pairs of J Crew rain boots (flamingos and anchors!) until they both cracked in the same month! I’m looking for a pair of rain boots that I can walk around campus all day and still look banging. I’m in love with the silver Hunter’s and have heard Hunter’s are the best quality rain boots. Do you know of any other brands, especially affordable ones, that won’t crack?
Can’t wait to go stylishly puddle stomping again!

Manolo says, the Manolo adores the Hunter rain boots, as does the Posse Manolo, at least one of whom has adopted the Hunter boots as part of her usual rainy day outfit. (This tall, elegant woman wears her Hunter Original boots with her designer jeans tucked into the tops, together with the Barbour coat, giving her the English country look that seems to impress the natives in the rainier parts of Southern California.)
And so, the Manolo says, although the Hunter rain boots are on the high side of affordable, they are none the less worth the price, as their durability is legendary.
The Hunter Original in the silver is some what difficult to come by, which is why one may wish to consider them in aubergine or the eponymous hunter green.
Indeed, the Hunter boots fall under the category of all-time classic.
Sometimes they can be found on ebay as well…it’s definitely worth looking. I’m not sure if there are a lot of knockoffs out there, though — perhaps the Manolo could enlighten us on how to reduce the risk of buying a knockoff when purchasing these things from EBay.
I definitely agree – it’s worth spending the extra. The Hunter boots are much more comfortable and they are still looking great years after the cheaper pair gave up the ghost.
These look great! Several weeks ago here in Phoenix we actually had so much rain I needed a pair of these!
Such an Iconic brand. I would love to see them returned to Scotland! They are very very strong. Perfect for winter.
Cant decide between aubergine and hunter green! Pls help!
