Back in 1856 Mr. Henry Norris opened a shop with his master boot makers. The first well-fitting, waterproof Hunter rain boots were made for Scotland's rugged terrain and unpredictable weather. Hunter rain boots for men, women and children have become a global legend for reliable performance, enduring sturdiness and exceptional comfort. After 150 years of huge improvements in footwear technology and materials, Henry would still recognise in a pair of Hunter rain boots the careful craftsmanship and the refusal to compromise on quality he pioneered. The famous Hunter green wellingtons first arrived in 1956 using a secret process producing a stronger, watertight Hunter boot for the toughest conditions. All this gives Hunter boots the edge over competitors.
