Wellington Boots - Galosh! Galosh!

The sound rubber boots make in the mud - the splish-splash sound of boots stepping in puddles in the rain. Gardening in April, trundling through the wetlands - there's nothing like Wellington Boots.

Welly Wanging

The sport "welly wangling" combines the colourful, bright, funky neoprenes and a bit of Cotswold quaintness.

Fashionable Wellington Boots

Wellington's are now hot fashion items. They're even worn to work! Furniture designer Karen Henry, has used them to build a coat stand with cement Wellington Boots. Cement was poured into real Wellington Boots and cast to create a base for the coat stand.
