Wellie boots here or wellies. My dad said gum boots sometimes when he was talking about farm life.

As a child some used the full word “wellingtons” but they’ve always been wellies for me . I had an uncle who called them gum boots.

Such a variety of styles and colours now for children and adults. Ours were always plain old black. I love going off road for a wellie walk across the fields.

My dd and I have had numerous discussion on the the Subject of boots for jumping in water I call them water boots and she calls them Wellies she said I have made up the word water boots as nobody else calls them that so I was just wondering what you all would have called the I live in Northern Ireland and I my mum definitely called the water boots ?☔️
