[Did you just call me Coltrane?]

I am having trouble finding those green rubber muck boots (I think they're called Wellington boots, but I don't think that's the brand name, I think it's just descriptive -- but I'm not sure). You wouldn't think they'd be so hard to find, but, alas, I can't find them.

Does anyone know a brand name, so I can do a search on google or ebay or something? The only boots I've been able to find are overly heavy-duty with steel reinforced toes and shit. Like for firemen. I don't need those - -just the plain old rubber ones for walking around in pastures when it's really muddy.

I made the mistake recently of walking in a muddy pasture with those "closed clog" type shoes. When I went to take a step, my shoe got stuck in the mud, and my foot came flying out and landed in a squishy pond of mud. As I turned around to retrieve my shoe, my other foot came out of its shoe, so I was standing ankle deep in sock feet in a veritable swamp of mud -- undoubtedly with a little horse poo thrown in, but I'm not prepared to think about that yet. Anyway, that's an experience I'd rather not repeat, so please, people, help a gal out!

I know Thomas Pink makes wellingtons. I'm buying a pair for the GF for X-mas. I think they're $125 or so. Check British companies since wellingtons are a staple there.
