Hunter boots used to be highly regarded and high quality. They were made in the UK using some special process. About a decade ago, though, the company closed down the original plant and sold all the machinery. Now they just have the boots made in China along with everyone else, and the quality and longevity is actually really poor. You're paying a premium just for the little rubber bit with "Hunter" on it because there's some historical cache to the name.
A good brand for good quality and well priced boots now is Kamik. It's a Canadian brand and makes some really good and reliable boots for about half the price of what these are going for.

But hey, if you're happy with your boots, you're happy. Not every pair of boots needs to be the world's best - if they do what they need to do, then that's just fine. I'm just saying that the "secret sauce" of what made the Hunter boots famous/high quality to begin with isn't there anymore, so if your goal is to get the most robust pair of rain boots possible, you may be better served (and money saved) looking elsewhere.

Anything else you research? Can't imagine what you go through when buying tires. Or even a car.

But nah, it is just a giant rabbit hole with some of these brands trying to figure out what's "legit." This was a gift for the Mrs. so I wanted to make sure I was actually getting her something nice. Took forever, which is why I just quickly shared it here.
Ask me about Ugg boots 😅
