    I want to get a pair of nice wellington boots, but they're hard enough to find in shops. Would I be safe enough ordering them online? I mean, the sizing isn't likely to be all over the place or anything, is it?

    I'd say you won't have a problem with sizing, just get whatever you normally take. Faith.co.uk , Schuh.co.uk and Office.co.uk all offer exchange/return of unsuitable footwear if it is returned in a re-saleable condition, with proof of purchase, within 28 days of purchase [either instore or the address on their website]

    What style are you thinking of buying? [/nosy]

    You have the right to return any online purchase within seven days if you don't like what arrives - see http://www.eccdublin.ie/publications/leaflets/subject_guides/shopon.pdf

    They have some lovely ones on ebay- your normal size will usually fit but if you are goign to wear big thick socks (I wear 2 pairs in the cold) you might be a half size bigger

    if you intend buying wellies i would seriously recommend hunter welliingtons - they are "the" wellies. Jenny huston wore a pink pair of them when hosting electric picnic - need i say more!

    Hunter wellies are timeless - Kate Moss wears them to all the music festivals - You'll get sick of the pink ones...

    I'm confused as to how a man from Listowel is so clued in :D

    I got a present of wellingtons from this site and the sizing was perfect, a friend also got wellies from here and she had no problems either.
    Oh they're so warm and comfy, I almost want it to rain more...

    I don't understand this trend at all. Maybe that's because I'm a country boy and in the country, wellies are a necessary, cold, uncomfortable evil. I wouldn't recommend buying wellies without seeing them up close though. Some have a very hard, plasticy sole which is lethal in the wet, especially on tar and concrete. Dunlop, Hunter, Hevea etc. are usually good, but I suppose you mightn't want that rustic look:) How about of Silver Kings with the tops turned down? (One for the country folk;) )
