It rains half the time here in the Philippines -- and we get about 20 major typhoons a year, but there is no decent rainboots store to speak of. People usually roll up their pants and wear rubber flip flops, which are the absolute worst footwear during heavy rains because the rubber suctions into wet pavement. You life your feet and your slipper is stuck to the cement. Ugh. And, you could get Leptospirosis!

Recently Plueys have arrived in Manila, and I have purchased the Argyle Crush. They look nice, they are comfortable, and they serve the purpose. However, their designs are for younger girls, not quite for thirtysomethings.

Someday I will get Hunter boots in Navy.

I just bought Hunter wellies in gloss graphite and Burberry check boots -- but I can't decide which one looks better on me!

Which one should I keep?

my vote is for the Hunter also!

I am really short (about 5') and I have the original tall in red...I get more compliments on those than in any other boot and I love that they come up nearly all the way to my knee. I wish my uggs were as tall...

I vote for the Hunters definitely, they look great with your jeans!

What are the chances that everyone here likes the Hunters?! I also polled my friends and they like the Burberrys more. Ahh!! haha I can't believe this would be so hard. I love the look of the Hunters -- the height is perfect. But I did find them a bit harder to pull on and off, so the Burberrys are more comfortable. I will probably keep the Burberrys, but will sleep on it tonight :p Thanks everyone for their input!

Neither Hunters or burberry's are popular here so I'm judging more objective I think ;).
I like the colours and the design on the Burberry's more but they have the unflattering style of a 15$ rain boot. The hunters have a better look...

I wear Aigle boots. Nothing fancy or fashionable but they are not made of stiff plastic and very comfortable to walk in.

You are so lucky Aigle boots fit you! I wanted to buy the ones from J.Crew & asked for the circumference... they told me 13.8", but unfortunately that's too narrow for me! I can barely fit the original Hunter rainboots, which are 14".
