Hunter Just Got Cooler!!

Hunter wellies are the original high quality welly, making wellys since 1875 they have a wealth of experience and knowledge that goes into creating their boots.  It all started with the usual Black, Green and Navy colours, boring but sensible for a welly, over recent years more colours have been introduced from Yellow to Gloss Red.  However this season Hunter have exceeded themselves with Glitter Wellies!! Black, Navy and Fuchsia that really bring a sparkle to your step.  Funky and fun the Glitter Hunters still have all the functionality of the original Hunter, they just look really cool as well.  Now you may be picturing something really garish at the words glitter welly but they are actually rather understated and subtle so will still go with any outfit your wearing without sacrificing the Glitter style.

Hunters are everywhere this year, Kate Moss was spotted at Glastonbury in a Red pair and features in the likes of Vogue, FHM and Cosmopolitan have only secured their place in the fashion market rather than just for function.  Adding to the Hunter Welly is the Hunter Welly Sock, perfect for those cold days when your feet are so cold you can't feel them any more.  The fleecy Welly Sock slips inside the boots to make them cosy and keeps those toes toasty warm.  They come in all sorts of colours and patterns and with the turnover top brighten up any dull coloured welly.

Hunter History

Hunter was originally the North British Rubber Company, it wasn't until much later they became known as Hunter  Boot Ltd, at the start of the company in 1856 there were only 4 people working on the boots, by 1875 Hunter were so popular the manufacturing team had grown to over 600!!  Hunter production was really boosted during World War I when the British Goverment asked them to construct a sturdy boot that would be suitable for the conditions in the flooded trenches, the mills ran day and night to make over 1 million pairs to cope with the Army's needs.  The Hunter fashion boot became a functional necessity almost overnight.  Hunters most infamous welly - the Original Tall Green Welly was first made over 50 years ago in the winter of 1955, it was the first orthopaedic welly they made and has been a staple in the Hunter range ever since growing in colours, patterns and popularity.   Hunters are a multi purpose boot brilliant for everything from walking the dog, puddle splashing and festival chic to just going into town on a typical British rainy day.
