First introduced in 1956, the Original Tall Gloss Boot lies at the heart of the Hunter brand. Formed of natural rubber, each pair is handcrafted from 28 parts and assembled over three days on an aluminium last bespoke to Hunter. It is then vulcanised for superior protection before having the high gloss finish applied. The Hunter Original tread pattern and comfortable 100% recycled polyester lining completes the design. This boot is 100% waterproof. I LOVE the idea of these boots. I wore them once and quickly realized that I am too short to walk in them without issue, so I have to let them go. Great condition.
