The iconic Original Tall boot is the heart of the Hunter Original brand. It evolved from a boot commissioned by the Duke of Wellington in the early 20th century. His namesake style, or welly as it has become affectionately known, was a huge success. Even today, the Hunter Boot is built on the original last for exceptional fit and comfort. It is hand-crafted form 28 parts, and made from innovative vulcanized rubber for protection from the weather.
