Hooray for rain boots! They make me happy. I wish there were more fun ones in my size. The kids ones are always up to a size 3 and I'm a size 4...it figures!
Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington, instructed his shoemaker, Hoby of St. James' Street, London, to modify the Hessian 18th century boot. This new boot was made of calfskin leather and must have been a transformation on previous Hessian boot. It would have been hardwearing, comfortable, lighter and probably treated with wax to help make it waterproof. The Duke of Wellington soon realised the advantage of better footwear for his troops and then the ball was rolling. The Wellington boot then played a pivotal role in history; the Battle of Waterloo, the American War of Independence and latterly in both World Wars. Such was the significance of his design they were worn at the Duke's funeral cortege, and the name Wellington boot was born.
Hunter Wellies are just as practical and good looking today! If you do not have these, you need them. If you have them, you need them in another color!

I seriously love these. They will be perfect for the fall and winter weather here. I'm glad the fleece inserts available.
