| How long have you been turned on by Rubber Wellington Boots ? | About 46 years |
| When were you first turned on by Rubber Wellington Boots ? | Since I was about 6 |
| How many pairs
of Rubber Wellington Boots do you own ? |
I own 25 pairs including 4 pairs of waders. |
| Which is your favourite pair ? | This is hard to say. I love Skellerup and NZ Bullseyes and my LaCrosse waders. I think I like the NZ Bullseyes - King Treds best. |
| How often do you wear Rubber Wellington Boots ? | Not often enough - but at least weekly. Rubber boots around the home are not that common in suburban Australia and I think my neighbours are becoming suspicious about the variety of colours on my legs! Trim in green, yellow, red sticks out. |
| How often do you go out in public wearing them ? | I particularly like to get up early Saturday morning and go down to a mud beach near our bay and soak or sink up in a few muddy hollows and a creek I know. |
| Do you wear them in town as well as in the country ? | I only wear them wear suitable. I have worn them into a small country town in New Zealand but then everyone does. They even have "City Boots"! |
| Do you wear them only when the weather is suitable or at other times e.g. when it is sunny ? | I do wear them when it is hot and sunny too - as long as there is mud or water. My wife and I used to wear our boots down to our local creek when we were first married, goodness knows what the neighbours thought of that. |
| Are you turned on when you are putting your Rubber Wellington Boots on or when you are wearing nothing else ? | I am turned on by rubber boots off, on, putting on, clothes, no clothes, whatever. |
| Have you a preference for the clothes you wear with your Wellington Boots (eg shorts, jeans, rainwear) ? | Being an Aussie, I actually like to wear them with shorts, no socks. In winter I wear them with jeans but they tend to hide the tops and these are sometimes the best parts! |
| Do you get a "kick" from seeing other people wearing rubber Wellington Boots? | II get a kick from seeing anyone in rubber boots. Unfortunately, they don't make them in Australia anymore and most wellies are PVC. The look of PVC from a distance gives you that welly look but it just ain't rubber. |
| Do you belong to any clubs or Organisations especially to be able to wear your Wellington Boots where they do not look out of place | I don't belong to any clubs. However, for many years we took part in the March "Clean Up Australia" activity so we could chose the muddiest place to clean up and wear rubber boots. It was great because others would also turn up similarly shod but I never saw any RUBBER boots - only PVC. New Zealnd is different though - Skellerup and NZ Bullseyes still reign plus some cheaper types but there are also PVC types around. Down with PVC |
| Have you had any contact with any other wearers of Rubber Wellington Boots ? | Yes, many years ago but lost contact and now only through Flickr and Yahoo. |
| Any further information | I love them and thank goodness my wife tolerates them - even has a pair of her own. I love muddy, shitty conditions. I got hold of a number of great pairs during my youth and it was the sewering of our property in the early 60's that got me going with the workers up to their knees in wet clay and Dunlop real rubber boots. They would take them off and leave them out in our yard. I played with them - how I would love that now. You can also see I am a through and through rubber man. |
