Running big
I’m a true size 8 and these shoes seem to run big, just couldn’t be bothered to exchange for a smaller size as I ordered at the start of heatwave. The footbed is slightly rubbing my soles, maybe a softer footbed would be nice

excellent product
I have taken these sandals to Botswana to wear on Safari trips and to go white water rafting on the Zambezi river. They were comfortable and coped with all the situations. Great product for the money.They haven’t fallen apart, the soles are shaped for support, and they were light to carry in my rucksack.

Nothing special
As already mentioned, these sandals run big. I’m usually a size 5 or 6 depending on the shoe but with these sandals I’ve had to take a size 4?! Apart from that, easy to adjust and quite comfortable. Only time will tell…

Great for my back pain!
I have been using fit flops for 2 years now and although I dont have the greatest bum, they have definately helped my bad back. I think this is because of the cushioned heel taking the impact, when Im walking but I am no proffessional.

Therefore I would recommend them to people suffering from sciatic pain, I used to live in normal flip flops in the summer but have thrown them all out and replaced them with the fit flops!!

I live in my black pair and think they dont stand out as much as the other colours but have a couple of different colours too!

shapely legs
these fit flops are brilliant you can feel the muscles working on your legs and butt, just the thing to improve your leg shape in time for summer

Very comfy – and they look better on than in the picture
I was very pleased indeed with the shoes – I have plantar fasciitis and these are really comfortable – and they look a lot better than they do in the pictures. Not sure how good they are for toning up – I guess you would have to wear them every day for that, but they are certainly good for holidays and summer walks. I was delighted with the delivery service, too – they arrived the very next day.

Fab but toe post uncomfortable
I would consider myself very fit and I found these sandals BRILLIANT!. I was very sceptical at first, but have been wearing them constantly for 4 days now and I have a job where I am always on the go. I can really feel the difference in my legs and bum. I also have a problem with my achilles and I honestly thought that I was cured as had no pain or discomfort when walking sadly thats not the case!!. Also unlike conventional toe posts your toes are not grabbing the sole to keep them on.

However the one downside is like other reviwers I find the toe post quite uncomfortable, I am a regular of toe post sandals and dont normally have any problems with them but between my toes are sore and red. However in saying that I am going to still wear them as the good outweighs the bad.

Green Wellies
Boots are fine but feel they are not quite long enough and a bit loose around the calf. Buckle doesn’t really tighten enough.Not quite Hunters!

wellington boots
Have read the reviews from other customers. I find these Boots Good Value for Money So far so good they don,t let in water and the Inner Lining is all intact . I did go for a larger size to Accomodate the thick Welli Boot Socks I find them very comfortable to wear and they are in constant use .

excellent wellies
excellent wellies, made by hunters I believe but only half the price and from personal experience they last a lot longer as well, the tread wore off my hunters within a month or two and they were twice the price! I use these for walking my dog on a daily basis and they last well.

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.

Customer Reviews

Hunter wellingtons
I have been wearing Hunter wellingtons for 40 years and they have been up and down in quality several times. Some years ago they got very thin and weak. Then they started making them in Scotland by a dipping process and these were very strong. These are characterised by rather wavy lines at the back, white plastic labels on the soles and especially by no seam in the cloth inside. If you can find a pair, they should last. A couple of years ago Hunters nearly went broke and now the boots are being made in the far east and not by the dipping process, despite what some suppliers tell you. Some of them were never told about the change and some have even rejected them when they found out. There were containers of them sitting at the docks in Britain for months having been rejected. The foreign ones are very neat at the back and have seams in the cloth inside. As a director of Hunters admitted to me, the new ones are not nearly as strong as the Scottish dipped ones. I think it is an outrage that people are still charging about £60 for these boots. They will begin to crack after literally just a few days use. There is no hope now that they will ever be making them properly again. If you want a pair for one year at Glastonbury, OK, but for serious use they are a complete waste of money.

Splitting boots
Had a pair of Hunters for over 6 years, with bo problems, but the last two pairs of Hunters I purchased recently both failed after about 15 months – cracking badly around the ankle. Made the mistake of getting yet another pair, which did not even make 12 months. Same problem. The quality is just not the same. My trusty old Dunlops are now 10 years old, cost a tenner and are still going strong. Hunter – unless you listen to your customers and do something, it will be the end of your company. Shame.

Total Disappointment of Hunter Wellies
Hunter Boots are obviously living off their previous good reputation for great wellies. The current Hunter wellies I purchased have failed miserably just after the 12 month warranty expired. They have cracked and are splitting all around letting water in after very little use just walking on the grassland.After contacting Hunter Boots I was informed that the warranty only covers them for the 12 months and basically they are not interested. I am no longer fooled that todays Hunter wellies are in any way comparable with those produced in the past.They are obviously totally useless if you require a wellington which keeps out the water.They are a complete waste of money and cannot be recommended.

Dry feet are comfortable feet
Karrimor use waterproof, breathable membranes in its footwear to keep water from entering whilst allowing water vapour (sweat) to escape. Even while sitting still over eight hours, your feet will sweat the equivalent to one-quarter cup of water. Even during gentle exercise, this can be greatly increased. Wet feet blister, and feel cold and uncomfortable. The membranes Karrimor uses, allow water vapour to escape, leaving feet dry and comfortable.

Karrimor uses eVent. The premium market-performance leader in durably waterproof/ultra-breathable membranes. eVent is waterproof and over twice as breathable as its nearest competitor. eVent membranes let the sweat out.

Karrimor also uses an exclusive waterproof and breathable membrane in its footwear called Weathertite

FRAMEFLEX midsole technology
FRAMEFLEX midsole tecnologies provides three-dimensional support, rigidity, and flex throughout the natural cycle of movement in the walking and running gait. FRAMEFLEX are specific to every size in the range and for both men’s and women’s lasts. Why compromise? Different FRAMEFLEX technologies provide different levels of function and are utilised differently depending on the design and end use of the product.

FRAMEFLEX Original: Walking boots where three-season stiffness is required. Offers full three-season support for use in trekking products where users may be trekking for long periods.

FRAMEFLEX Lite: Walking boots and shoes where two- or three-season stiffness is required. Offers slightly lighter weight and overall more flex than Original FRAMEFLEX.

FRAMEFLEX Super: New lighter weight version of the Original, improved performance using more expensive, lighter-weight materials. Used in X-Lite products where performance is not compromised by an overall lighter weight.

FRAMEFLEX Quest: Multi-sport and low-cut shoes where two-season stiffness and flex is required. Specifically engineered to partner and enhance the Vibram Quest outsole, which was developed specifically for Karrimor.

FRAMEFLEX 3D Tenacity: Multi-sport and low-cut shoes where two-season stiffness and flex is required. Engineered as a separate phylon compound within the midsole to minimise weight, enhance cushioning, and aid support.

Fit and last shape
The Karrimor last is generally recognised as a higher-volume last; which means the fit feels wider – more akin to the British and European foot shape. Karrimor sells boots and shoes in full and half sizes to ensure a good fit. Karrimor recommends wearing your boots around the house to ensure they fit well before wearing them outside.

Outsole
Karrimor use durable outsoles that provide high levels of grip. Karrimor uses Vibram outsoles on all its models, which are widely recognised as the market leader in outdoor footwear outsoles. Vibram outsoles can be replaced when they do finally wear out. Many of the Vibram outsoles used are exclusive designs Karrimor has developed with Vibram – exclusive to Karrimor designs and last.

Manufacturer’s Description
March 16, 1966, on 704E Broadway street in Anaheim, California, Paul Van Doren and three other partners opened their first ever store and the Vans dream was born. The Van Doren Rubber Company was unique in that it manufactured shoes for sale directly to the public. On that first morning, 12 customers purchased shoes which were made that day and ready for pick-up in the afternoon, the Vans #44 deck shoes, which are now known as the Authentic, were launched. These classic Vans combined canvas uppers with thick-bottomed vulcanised soles – a distinctive style that became the signature look of the company. From this starting point over 40 years ago, Vans has risen to become a worldwide dominant force in the footwear and action sports markets, making it the brand of choice for the contemporary consumer seeking action sport and lifestyle footwear.

vans rule
i have worn my favorite pair of converse for many many years, but decided to change brand. im a size 3.5 but there were none in stock so i got a 3 and it fits comfortably, i wouldnt say the shoe is to wearable the edge of the shoe is slightly worn down already. but the sole is quite thick and i can see it lasting a long time. so overall i really like the shoe and would recommend it to anyone.

Kates Skates more like Kates Mistakes
Ordered a pair of size 10, they sent a pair of size 12 in an old worn out boxed that looked like it had been around for years. tried arranging a return or a swap but they were very unhelpful and didnt get anything sorted. so now im stuck with their mistake with a pair 2 sizes too big! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER.

Really pleased
Came quickly and I was happy with the product One critisizm might be that it is slightly too big for my size 13 feet haha but I can live with that as I know how hard it is to find shoes to fit me! Would recommend.
