The fashion market probably aren’t concerned with the longevity of the product as they'll have a different colour for everyday of the week and will invest in the next 'must have' when it hits the market

Re: Fashion Wellingtons
Oh my, those are cheap boots. Possibly from the local hardware store? I guess there is a following for those. I love my Hunters !

Lovely photos MissRachel.
Cheap wellies are just as exciting as expensive wellies, espeically when worn with other waterproof clothing for that stimulating sensation of total protection!

My wellies have lasted well! Apparently Hunters last approx 6 months then crack and leak!Saltmarsh_Drifter wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 1:59 pm Lovely photos MissRachel.

£100 plus for 6 months that is not economic to my mind.
