Meghan Markle has continuously been a source of fashion inspiration for me and my fellow PureWow editors over these past few years. Whether it’s her unique take on styling cardigans or the incredibly chic Japanese denim jeans she’s been spotted rocking on several occasions, the Duchess has a knack for looking effortlessly chic. That’s why I’m so glad her go-to Hunter rain boots ($165; $89) are nearly half off for October Prime Daywhich runs now through Oct. 8.

In case you’re unfamiliar with the name of Prime Day’s game, this two-day sale is the ultimate extravaganza that allows you to score *major* deals on your favorite fashion, home and beauty finds. That includes these royally beloved boots (they also received a stamp of approval from Princess Diana, too), which are sure to serve you well as we get into the thick of the rainy fall season. 

Markle aside, what makes these Hunter boots such a closet staple for many? Well, as former Associate Fashion Commerce Editor Stephanie Meraz wrote during her stint living in London, they are a practical and iconic choice that can be paired with many different outfits (for further proof, see the above TikTok from fashion creator @CarlyVanDyke). They're also incredibly durable, thanks to the rubber outsole, which is specifically designed to prevent slipping on icy or wet surfaces. According to the brand, they’re also made to be 100 percent waterproof, with a recycled polyester lining designed to keep your feet dry and warm.

Additionally, they feature a pull-on design, making them easy to slip on and off, and there are multiple fall-friendly colors to choose from. As for the overall comfort, that box is checked as well, as it has a flexible construction and the brand’s shock-absorbing comfort technology for long-lasting cushioning.

I could keep going, but how about hearing from somebody who made the splurge? “I wore these boots entirely throughout weeks in the Alaskan wilderness. Knowing Hunter boots to be more of a 'fashion/fancy' boot, I was a bit worried about how they would hold up. I am very glad to say that they held up flawlessly," one reviewer shared, giving it five stars. “I am very glad to say that they held up flawlessly…not only did my feet stay completely dry, but they were the epitome of comfort!”

You can’t beat a boot that is both stylish *and* durable enough to battle a harsh Alaskan winter, which is exactly why you should add these bad boys to your cart ASAP while they’re nearly 50 percent off for October Prime Day. And while you’re at it, you can also snag the shorter, ankle-boot version while they’re on sale for just $64, too.
