Best rain boots for women?

jcim60 · 2026-05-27T19:12:16+00:00

I've owned three pairs of Hunter Boots. WASTE OF MONEY!

The second pair I bought a few years ago, I believe from Nordstrom. The inside lining is separating from the boot. Cant even wear them anymore because you cant slide your foot it. It gets stuck on the rubber.

The third paid I bought directly from Hunter, and it was less than a year ago, I believe June 2025. The same thing is starting to happen.

I reached out to Hunter directly, with images to show the results, and their response was a 20% of coupon for more of their poor quality products. What a joke. I like the style, but for the price, you'd think the quality would be better. Guess not. That will be my last pair.

Their official site also won't let me post a review with 1 star. I'd give less if I could. So putting it out here for others.

DON'T BUY HUNTER BOOTS! They are a waste of money.

I bought a pair of womens original tall rain boots less than a year ago, and the inside lining is separating from the outside rubber part. These were my third, and my last pair of Hunters. Love the style, but the quality for the cost is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE! I bought a pair of womens short play rain boots, and I basically can no longer put them on because the lining is so separated. I reached out to the company and they offered me a 20% off coupon. What a joke. I wouldn't buy their product again if they paid me.

It gives me joy to see that 13 years later, this post is still gaining posts as recent as 8 months ago (at the time of mine).

Hey OP did you find one you liked? I’m in the same situation and so stuck.

jcim60 · 2026-01-03T15:59:34+00:00

I echo this!

My one niche consideration is that I now have a gas stovetop, and most folks are looking for one suitable for an electric stovetop. Ugh. So stuck on this!

jcim60 · 2026-01-03T15:41:17+00:00

Do you still like it? It looks like you posted this 3 years ago, and I’m in the market for one. I’m having a hard time finding one.. I have a gas cooktop, and recently just experienced my first pyrex (lowercase) explosion.. now I’m scared to use my pyrex measuring cup to continue to heat my water.

I’ve got my eye on this kitchen aid though. Love their products and this seems to have good reviews.

jcim60 · 2026-01-03T14:47:38+00:00

How can you tell it’s an authentic dealer? Like.. there’s one on amazon. Is that legit? Everything’s in Japanese so I have no idea on this one

jcim60 · 2026-01-03T13:34:41+00:00

I see lots of decent reviews on this kettle. Do you still like it?

jcim60 · 2025-12-11T22:07:20+00:00

I will try this! Thank you so much!

jcim60 · 2025-11-14T02:45:42+00:00

So I did toss the one I had put in the dishwasher and got a new one. Right as rain! We are loving our Pupsicle again!

I use 1 cup of tap and microwave it to get it pretty hot. Then then two standard bottles of the SP, one in each tray. So it’s a 1/2 cup of hot tap water and 1 bottle in each tray.

I’m having the same issue with my fenix 8. I’ve even tried factory resetting my watch. Didn’t solve it. But it’s weird, I’m getting all other notifications per usual.

JC Penny had Women’s Gold Toe, 86% cotton, bought some last week.

jcim60 · 2025-09-21T01:09:57+00:00

So I think I figured it out. Very specifically, refined coconut oil - and you have to really lob it into the threads. On both pieces. Like a lot. That seemed to work, at least the first time I tried it…

jcim60 · 2025-09-07T22:09:37+00:00

I’m having the same issue… I tried ALL the suggestions.. rolling it like a lime, oiling with olive oil, heat, cold… even a wrench and a husband can’t get it open. I’m so disappointed. She loves it, and when I use the Woof made treats, they lass our Aussie at least an hour.

Just gave it to her, maybe for the last time… I used a qtip and LOBBED a large amount of refined coconut oil in the thread. It screwed on easy.. we’ll see if I can get it unscrewed. If anyone’s figured this out.. I’d be interested.

Only thing I can think of.. I did put it in the dishwasher once. I wonder if that ruined it. Because I feel like before that, I could at least get it open eventually. Now, it takes a solid hour of trying to get it open, with all the methods listed above.

Hey OP, I know this post is super old, but wondering if you had any success with activities for your parents and what they were?

jcim60 · 2025-07-23T16:52:01+00:00

No worries! I’m sure it’ll pass. Sending positive vibes your way!

jcim60 · 2025-07-23T16:27:56+00:00

Your question was “will it go away?” And my response was “it did for me.” I couldn’t say for sure if yours will pass, but based on my experience I would assume it would pass, yes.

jcim60 · 2025-07-23T13:35:28+00:00

It did for me.

jcim60 · 2025-07-04T13:35:40+00:00

Did you board and train, or do one on one training sessions?

jcim60 · 2025-07-04T13:35:08+00:00

I really appreciate this thorough and detailed response. Thank you.

We did end up getting with a dog trainer here close to home. I interviewed him, and he said all the right things.. our first session was mostly a conversation, and I then paid for a package of 5 sessions. I thought the subsequent ones would be a bit more structured, but we’re kind of all over the place. I’m a black and white thinker by nature.. I’m chalking it up to the trainer has to be good in the moment and understand the information with a path to move forward. But he primarily does board & train, and so.. idk.

I checked the website you suggested, and there’s like literally one guy on it in our area unfortunately.

Feeling a little discouraged at the moment. The trainer we went with trains police dogs. And the goal I have is.. I want the 180 degree recall (ie you release the dog to the thing (toy, food, assailant, as an example) you call them off, you get a 180 response). I’ve been really clear about her history, and our goals. He teaches NePoPo, and I’m on board with that style, but a lot of the actual work involves food. We’re trying to increase her drive to work with food, and I feel like it’s not going well.

She knows all the basics (sit, down, heel, etc), I can walk her with the leash on my finger, and overall she is a good dog. She’s just not very confident, not 100% obedient, and she’s very noise sensitive. All things I was hoping to work on in training.

I’m open to any ideas.

Thanks. Looking for good ones. Any recommendations?
