The Wellington, that British bastion of mudwear, is getting a makeover at the hands of Jimmy Choo shoes. The boot by Hunter has the same practical shape and no-nonsense sole so beloved by the Queen of England for stomping about the countryside with her corgis. But it is updated for the fashionable set with a a leopard print lining, embossed crocodile print and shiny golden buckles and rivets. You'll pay Choo prices too, they will sell for around $300 (£200) which puts them above other Hunter limited editions like the Fortnum & Mason eau de nil wellies
which run £75. The Choo Wellington will be out in June from the Jimmy Choo website.
