Anyone who would wear those particular wellies would not be in the mud to begin with.

Blossoming, I have a pair over 40 years old too. They are red ones bought in Barnard Castle and they are still fully waterproof.

Eeeek! They bring on my trypophobia. ?

Hi ! I have that too

CanadianGran Wed 13-Oct-21 21:18:26

haha, no not mine... just a fancy imaginary dog to walk while I wear fancy rubber boots.

haha, they don't even look good. I'll stick with my cheap ones from Asda!

White wellies with acid proof soles are often worn in food processing plants and labs.

Oh my goodness, they look like a bad skin condition.

I have a 45 year old pair of blue wellies, bought from an army surplus store for around £5. Used daily for years on farms and no holes in them at all.

wow, that's some fancy clipping !
is he/she your, CanadianGran ?

CanadianGran Wed 13-Oct-21 19:49:50

Yes, so I can match Ruffles when we walk down the Champs.

I’d be out with the felt tips, waterproof, of course.

I bought new wellies recently and within a few weeks they had a hole in the leg. Bought another pair at twice the price and they were leaking within a month. More new ones today and some there cost hundreds. Not fashion items but for farmers etc.
Wellies used to last forever.

I am very impressed. They go up to a size 9. So tempted ?

What purpose do white wellies serve? Certainly not much good for dog walking in the rain.

FannyCornforth Wed 13-Oct-21 19:21:01

Good grief. They are vile

M0nica Wed 13-Oct-21 19:17:08

Come on, they are a snip compared wih the other items available on the site

Ankle boots £890
Small leather handbag £1450
Embroidered dress £3600

But it is Valentino, what do you expect from a courturier, who dresses world class celebrities and the wives and mistresses of Russian billionaires.

Well if you will go to Harrods

SueDonim Wed 13-Oct-21 19:08:10

They’re not even very nice! grin

Blossoming Wed 13-Oct-21 19:02:04

£720 for a pair of white wellies. I’d want them gold played for that price grin
