As worn by Price Charles, Lady Diane (when she was alive), and a host of celebrities now that these have followed Barbour into the consciousness of the extremely thin and fashionable, these are a pair of classic green Hunter wellington boots, from Scotland.
Information on Hunter here: http://usa.hunter-boot.com/1/Welcome-To-The-Home-Of-Hunter-Wellies.aspx
These are a size US8, but I've found that Hunters run big; I take a size US 11D and my size US 10 Hunters fit perfectly.
These boots do have some issues, however. First, they're missing their side adjusters--someone probably cut them off as they're annoying and pretty useless. Second, these boots are starting to split on the OUTER shell only; I've hose tested them and they're completely waterproof. Moreover, the splits are hard to see when they're worn. But they are there, and because of them these boots are priced at pretty close to what it will cost me to ship 'ed to you--$20, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS.
These would still be good for a couple of years of normal wear, more for gardening use... Or you might just want them for a Charles/Diane/Kate Moss/farmer costume for Hallowe'en!
