£340 for a pair of wellies???!!!

That's not insignificant in my scheme of things.

I like to think that we're all significant. Our feet, too.

Just go to a local garden centre and get the cheapest ones there. I got mine for £16. I live in the country so I work at the allotment, do gardening and have walked up to 5 miles in them with no discomfort.

Thanks, Louise. I ended up finding a pair of "low wellies" -- 4 inches below the knee and easy to get on and off, at the Oxfam shop on Marylebone High St.

I've been wearing my Oxfam pair for gardening, and like them a lot.

hilarious replies. The arguments are just like those Aussies used to have against UGGS which are now a trendy fashion item. They were only wore as slippers or by really low socio economic folks as outside shoes and now cost lots and are a brand name..

Seriously, why is it anyone's business if you want to buy a pair of bloody Wellies?

I bought mine for 12 quid at Lilywhites in Piccadilly Circus. I love wearing them back in the states. Always get lots of compliments, and they're quite a conversation-starter.
