not that i have anything against the boots themselves, but its just stupid how one can determine that they are all of a sudden in "style" and charge ridiculous amounts for them.
I remember when I was a kid we would get them from K-Mart for $5.
Last weekend I saw Burberry ones that were like $200? Hello they are rubber rain boots.

lol my mom got a pair from aritzia a while back. I havent even seen her wear them once. I see her out there spraying the drive way in her runners. I just yell out the window at her when I see this. Put on your god dam gumboots you nerd!!!
You buy something that is actualy practical, and instead you go out and soak a perfectly good pair of runners. She is a crazy woman, but I love her.

Who needs gumboots when u can get your shoes shined outside of the Celler for only 4 dolla!

[Kandyapple]

People still shine your shoes??

This is the biggest fashion WRONG of late.
It's just more proof that some people are fucking idiots and will buy ANYTHING!

gum boots = no for fashion
gum boots = yes for walking in the mud

[frogprincess]

i like this man's gumboots

[bl0nde]

where are they seeling these boots and what do they look like anyone got any pics? they sound reallly ugly to me but who knows

well actually,last fall in the UK gummies were definetly "in"..the style there is very MOD and girls(actuallu people in general) have way better fashion sense because its more european than american...and suprisingly a lot of girls wore them and pulled them off...I can't really see that happening here though,because canadian girls just aren't that far ahead with fashion,its also the same with ugg boots...here I see girls wearing them with booty shorts and skirts but they just can't pull it off,in the uK girls would match them up with some funky tights,lots of accesories here and there and it just looks way better. I'm sure a few canadian chicks can pull the gummys off,but very few...

ive been to spain/italy.. fashion is not that much ahead of us... maybe a few things are different but its kinda the same. i bet its diff in milan tho! i want to go there soooo badly

[Kandyapple]

hahaha courtney you would have been scared there if you went a year before you did.
When I was over in the UK mesh was in fashion. Then a year later it was here. England always seems to start the trend that you see here later. And yes they did look better there then what I saw here. ( I still didn't like the mesh in england though)

Yah when I was in rome I didn't see a huge difference. I even stopped into a little private showroom and didn't see a huge difference from the clothing you could find around here. But Im sure milan is a different story.

i'm kinda happy that they're back in style. i'm going to pick up a pair over at wal-mart.

i'm definately not paying seventy bucks for a pair.

I haaaaaaaaate the mod look
The girls in the UK have a wack sense of fashion, IMO it's a lot less mature looking than what you'll find in the rest of Europe and the higher priced fashion here in Canada and the States. In Italy, Spain, France, etc., fashion is about looking sharp, mature and sophisticated. In the UK, it's more about looking funky and different.

PS I hate UGG boots, too!
