Boots That Cause Gum!

I saw someone at work [WORK!!!] wearing gumboots. You know, the ones mommy and daddy wore in their times or people in perennial rain suffering cities wear [I assume]. Anyway, the point is why would someone in their right senses wear gumboots? Okay, it might give you a little gothic look, if you complete it with black nail paint, dreadlocks et al but this is India and it does not make any kind of style statement - although, it definitely makes a 'CRIPES! LOOK AT WHAT THEY'RE WEARING' statement. 

Anyhoo, coming back to the point of gumboots - I can paint them green, keep them outside my door and plant cutesy pink flowers in them and frankly, that's the best use that I can think of.
