I hate them - but each to his own - if you like them than that is fine !

Love them in the right circumstances. Wouldn't want to wear them down the pub or anything like that . They seem to be really around in the shops at the moment. DS has got some and I was thinking about getting a pair.

They look great. Makes me almost want to take up gerdening so I have an excuse to buy a pair.

I have a pink patterned pair which I got in Lidl about 2 years ago - great bargain at £4.99

Crocs are also doing wellies now!

Lurve patterned wellies. Am yet to find a pair that fit me properly - I have big calves.

Tutter the ones in your link are fabulous

It's a fine line. Depends on the pattern and what you wear them with. Either genuinely funky, or teeth-wincingly twee.

I find them naff on all but little girls and teens or old ladies.

Classic green Hunter wellington boots.

Those are the way to go.

I've bought some for the first time this year! Got fed up of wet feet and ruining boots in the snow.
Intend to use them for exceptionally wet or snowy school run days ( as we always walk) or for playing out in the snow with the children as we seem to get a fair bit of snow here.

I get DD1 cheap ones, though, b/c her feet are growing like a weed and her shoes are already about £40/pair b/c she has C-width feet w/low instep.

Quite like them. Fancy a pair myself for winter school runs and park visits.

oh, meant to add to my post that( in my defence ) we do live in a semi-rural position and have no pavements on the school run so it can get quite messy.
