Are men having trouble finding funky festival wellies I don't just want some plain green, grey or blue ones?

If there aren't many about I may have to wear womens' wellies.

Expensive but worth it. Very comfy.

I also came across some with 'hemp' leaves on but they were also really boring!
I think we're on the same wave length with that one, I saw some smilie faced ones but they only went up into a size 6 and I'm looking for size 9 or 10 ¬¬

Design your own! My hubbie did mine last year using acrylic paint in purple and green and a fab silver Uni marker all bought off eBay. Topped of with a lovely bit of sequinned lace round the top which I doubt you would want!!  :P  :P Both the paint and the marker dried quickly and stayed intact despite the mud. They will be coming with me again this year!

PS Not that it is going to rain!! :P

I will post when I get my laptop back from being repaired. Using v old Windows 2000 machine which I think will cease if I try to load a scanner onto it! I bring these wellies and a pair of Muck Boots too, however I can bring as many clothes and shoes as I want nowadays as we are in the caravan so I don't hve it to carry!
