Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

In 1856, Henry Lee Norris, an American entrepreneur, landed on Scottish soil in search of a home for his boot making company. Having acquired a block of buildings in Edinburgh, known as the Castle Silk Mills, the North British Rubber Company (which much later became known as Hunter Boot Ltd) was registered as a limited liability company in September 1856. In the beginning there were only four people working for the company, by 1875 the team had grown to 600 members of staff. Production of wellington boots was dramatically boosted with the advent of World War I, when the company was asked by the British government to construct a sturdy boot suitable for the conditions in flooded trenches. The mills ran day and night to produce immense quantities of these trench boots. More than a million pairs were made to cope with the Army's demands. The fashionable boot was now a functional necessity. Hunter's most famous welly, the original Green wellington, was made over 50 years ago in the winter of 1955. It was the first orthopaedic boot that they made and was launched alongside the Royal Hunter--another boot that remains in Hunter's range today. Today, Hunter remains the preferred welly brand for those who like to work hard and play hard--there's a great range of boots to suit welly wearers all over the world--from the Royal Family to festival-goers, working farmers and landed gentry alike.

Hunter Balmoral Classic wellies are ideal for wearing when fishing, hunting and walking.

Costumer Reviews

as usual - expected good quality / only problem is that the sizes seem to come up one size smaller / so after wearing once cannot use again, and cannot send back as have walked in them. l have purchased same size in neoprene (same model) and fit fine . so consistancy is not a strong point in sizing / so check carefully prior using.

Size of these boots are very small. I read the reviews which advised of this fact and as I normally take a size 10 to 10.5 shoe, I ordered a size 11. These were still on the tight side so I returned. Unfortunately Amazon were not able to offer a size 12 at the same price - they were £20 more. Therefore I ordered and obtained these from a direct seller for the original price. The boots are very well made and comfortable - I have just ordered Hunter fleece boot socks to go with them
