Glad the wellie (welly?) debate is still running 🙂
I do normally wear walking boots (£30 TK Maxx) for walking the dog – can be hours out in the fields – but sometimes, when its really wet (and the fields I walk in are full of big puddles in tractor tracks etc), I’ll wear the Dunlop wellies my mum gave me. Of course they’re not as comfortable, but with a decent pair of socks, the only time I notice I’m wearing wellies is when I can step in calf deep puddles and slop through mud without worrying about it.
But hey, some people obviously have money to waste to make themselves feel like the posh country gent, so spend as much as you want on the things.
Still mad though.
