Wellies, are they? I'm thinking of buying some, but online cuz they are really expensive in the store. Do they go over your shoes or do you wear them in place of shoes? I might get a bigger size if you wear them over shoes just in case. Thanks.
They aren't much cheaper on line, actually. It is fucking rubber, whats so expensive about it. I'll wear garbage bags over my feet...

Go for quality. The best are Hunters without a shadaow of a doubt - as classy as wellies can get.

I'll let you buy me those I can't imagine paying $25 at the discount store, let alone 70 for those fancy things! I'll probably only wear them twice, anyways.
Do you really find hunters the best? We've stopped selling them in our shop as so many people over the last two years have been returning them due to faults. Never used to get this problem. Started to look bad on us so decided to stop them.
I've never worn a better wellie and I use my wellies a lot - for fishing, beating, walking the dog.
Hmm wonder why so many have been going wrong in our neck of the woods then. It's only in the last couple of years, thought they must have changed the rubber content or something. :chin:
Imagine how huge they would be to wear them over your shoes can tell you must be a city boy/girl!
If they do wear quite fast they must be made out of pretty cheap material, i can just remember my old pair of wellies they were reallly thick, i had em for years!
:yippe:
Actually everybody in the city wears them when it rains and thats how I got the idea. I just get my shoes and socks wet so I thought I would join the smart crowd this year.
They wear wellies or boots over their normal shoes?
You do make me laugh in a good way. I don't mean to be rude but it's like you have come from a different planet and are finding weird and wonderful things on earth. I'm from the country though so I dunno, maybe people in the city hadn't seen wellington boots until they became fashionable in the past year or two.
The umbrella thing comes with maturity though! I often see boys walking to school in the pouring rain getting absolutely soaked because it's just not 'cool' for a boy to carry an umbrella. However, when they get a bit older they realise that it's actually better to stay dry and take one! Common sense prevails eventually!
Thats very true, it was chucking it down the other day, just as my brother was about to go out, i chucked him a umbrella and said 'your going to need this' and he was like 'ERGH! im not taking that! Oh my god how embarrasing!' I just simply said to him whats more embarrasing, taking an umbrella like an ordinary person, or turning up to where ever your going soaked.. Makes no sense.
But on topic, i my welly boots! They are black and white with crazy patterns and ive had them like 3 years :yippe:
I'm 24!
We've had people bringing them back after a couple of months to our shop because of splits appearing, them leaking etc.
I jumped on the muckboot band wagon for dog walking and down the stables. Might not be as smart as hunters but def. very warm and hardy. Mine have lasted about four years so far.
I've seen a bunch for around $130 and most for at least $50. It is outrageous!
Those ones are pretty .
