Hunter boots are the rage in a typical girl wardrobe. However, I don't think many people know that Hunter boots originated from England and are called Wellies. Over here in the PNW the boots are a convenient fashion accessory, they make rainboots finally look good and god knows we need them here in WA the rainy state. But in England the boot means so much more. The boot is a symbol for charity in England of a lifeguard organization that has saved many lives. If I never had looked into what was going on in England I never would have known that the boots I wear almost everyday in the winter mean more than I would have guessed. It reminds me of the show company of TOMS whose proceeds go to help children in Africa.
