It’s February and spring is on its way. It doesn’t feel like it, though, with the snow falling and the wind biting. When spring finally arrives, we should expect a lot of rain, with the droughts of 2011, it is well overdue. This is bad news for some, but for others, it can only mean one thing: time to get your wellies on! As a country, we are particularly fond of our wellies, and if we had to vote on a national footwear choice, the Wellington boot would be way up there in terms of popularity. Perhaps their popularity is due to the fond memories of childhood – who didn’t splash in puddles with the old lady bug wellies, or the frog wellies…we know we did, and if we saw other kids playing in their wellies, and we were stuck wearing our Sunday bests, we were jealous! Today, the Wellington boot has undergone significant changes. The frog wearing, lady bird lovers, have grown up, and with this, insisted on more fashionable, more sophisticated wellies. Gone are the days when we needed them for splashing in puddles, now we need them to stomp around the festivals, to explore the countryside and to ride our horses. Traditional wellington boots, of the dark green variety, still exist, but they tend to be for use in the garden. Now, when we walk out of our perimeter fences, we want to feel as fashionable in our Wellingtons as we do in our UGGS. Fortunately, we can, and we can do it knowing that we are in great company. Throughout the world, the fashionista pull up their wellies in droves; celebrities, sophisticates and even royalty, love their Wellingtons, and why would we want to lose out? We wouldn’t, and luckily, we don’t have to. Wellington boots now come in an incredible range of colours, design, shapes, and sizes. They are funky, fun, en vogue and, above all else, incredibly comfortable (no more soggy socks!). There are wellies for all occasions (well, that may be an exaggeration, we wouldn’t recommend work wellies, or wedding wellies, but you know what we mean). There are psychedelic wellington boots, such as the Peacock festival boots, which are ideal for wearing to music festivals across the countries. There are animal print wellington boots, to help camouflage you on your Sunday walks. There are wellington boots with heels, for those who want to look a bit taller while they’re sinking in the muds of Glastonbury. There are wellington boots that look like converse trainers. There are tall boots, skinny boots, wide boots and short boots. There are fluorescent boots, glow in the dark boots, and the more demure black boots. In fact, there are boots for practically any taste, there are even biker wellies! They come in a range of prices too, the designer boots can cost as much as £200, or, you can buy equally trendy and fashionable ones for as little as £15. If you’re still not convinced of the merits of the humble, new-age, Wellingtons, then check out the Wellies range at http://www.mr-shoes.co.uk/ to find out what you really think.
