Welly Wangling/Welly Wanging/Wellie Throwing
What is Welly Wanging
British Sport
The peculiar and quaint; very British sport of Wellie Wanging is one in which individuals throw Wellington Boots as far as possible within boundary lines. Think of shot put - but with a Wellington Boot.
Rules
The rules are generally applied fairly loosely due to the nature of the sport, however there is a Wellington Boot Throwing Association (see links below) that requires competitors to follow strict rules.
Ideas
Maybe you're thinking of ideas for your fund-raising or charity event - this'll be a kicker!

The Shoe Tree - Shoe Tossing
There appear to be a few trees around the world with shoes hanging in them. This appears to be a tradition amongst some students, plumbers, and military folk.
