What ever you call them Wellington, Welly, Gumboot, Gummies or as i've heard my father refer to them as shitkickers... I LOVE THEM..
Ever since I could walk Ive had a pair, and on entering a shoe store as a child I would throw off my shoes and try to leave wearing a much preferred pair of wellingtons.
Growing up In Scotland I wore Wellies often.
Now living New Zealand where they are called Gumboots 'Gummies'. I own a Cranberry coloured pair of Hunter Wellies, which because I live in Sunny Nelson have little use for lately, until earlier this week...
It was just like Christmas time in Scotland, but no it was August in New Zealand, fantastic.

Oh and some of my most fun artwork, I made when I had first received my Hunters and chose to wear them in the sunshine anyway. (take a closer look).
My point is ...Well there isnt one, I just wanted to share along with sticky tape, my passion for the Welly. Or as I now refer to them 'Gummies'.
