As it says really. I am 5' 10" tall and wasn't Not sure which boots to get. Will the huntress ones come up too short on my calves? They seem to be more expensive than the unisex ones too.

Which do you think would be best?!

the Huntress might be a bit short for you at five ten, would go for the normal ones.

Hunter willies sound far more exciting than unisex or huntress.
Sounds like an interesting story though Wink

Oooo I've been wanting to try out the latest hunter willie. Do you think it will be able to wheedle out the wheat from the chaff. Wink

I suspect you will get far more views BECAUSE of the spelling error!

No idea but I hear girth is more important than length.


Will they fit around your calf?

As a thank you for making me giggle I could go and measure up my huntresses, if you'd like? Tho DH may wonder why I'm measuring wellies (checks spelling) and chuckling to myself.

Hunter wilies are not nearly as good quality as they used to be.

They used to last for years but now hey get damaged really quickly.
The quality of willy has deteriorated ...I think they use bad rubber

NO NO NO NO NO.

Sorry but Hunter Welllies (Or Willies) are absolute shite. I have been through 6 pairs in the last 18 months and they all leak within a couple of months.

They are made in China and the soles are made from plastic not rubber, which deteriorates.

Aigle are a much better buy.
