One thing you can pretty much count on for the next few months? Wet weather. Whether it's yet another winter storm bringing snow, ice and sleet or the spring showers that will follow, keeping your feet dry will be a top priority for the foreseeable future. Luckily, Jennifer Garner is here to inspire your protective footwear purchase. The actress, entrepreneur and farmer (yes, really!) wears Hunter boots to keep her tootsies clean and dry while tending to the goodies in her garden.
Take a quick scan of Garner's Instagram account, and you'll see she's worn a pair of glossy red Hunter boots not once, not twice, but at least three times in recent history. And it's no surprise why. Beloved by several other celebs including Meghan Markle, Alexa Chung and Sarah Jessica Parker, these durable rubber boots are not only designed to keep your feet dry, but also to last. I've had a pair for over five years that I wear whenever it rains, and they're still in pretty perfect condition.
If you can believe it, Hunter has been around since the mid-1800s and it's always specialized in rubber products. The brand's signature boots quickly became a top seller, and the rest is, as they say, history. These days, there are lots of functional, attractive Hunter styles to choose from. Whether you're looking for a tall boot or something shorter, there's something for everyone in classic and bold colors alike. Grab a pair for yourself below.
Perfect for wearing over skinny jeans or leggings or with a skirt or dress, these knee-high rain boots protect your feet and legs from unwanted wetness. The glossy design is available in red or black, and the original version has four additional color options.
Though this popular style has earned thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon, with "comfy" being a common refrain, the calf dimensions may be too small for some shoppers: "The foot fit is perfect," one shopper explained, but added, "too tight around my calf."
If you worry the tall boot will be too tight on your leg or just prefer a shorter boot, consider the short style that Garner is wearing in the Insta post above. It hits right around mid-calf, which some shoppers say is the "perfect height."
Another reason to love this lower profile design? The classic version comes in lovely spring colors right now including lavender, mint green and a sunny yellow.
Of all the Hunter boots, this Chelsea design is my favorite. It hits just above the ankle, so there's none of that leg claustrophobia I sometimes get when wearing taller boots. These are a great year-round option that you can wear in winter with thick socks as well as during summer showers.
"These boots are super cute! I love the short style for those hot rainy days in the south!" one reviewer wrote.
These shorties are available in sizes 5-11 in seven different colors.
Before investing in a pair of Hunter rain boots, you should know that most are lined with just a thin layer of recycled polyester. If you're looking to make your boots more comfy and warm, consider splurging on these plush, shearling insoles. On cold winter days, you'll be glad you did.
The brand also recommends adding these softies to their Play Clogs.
