Am I the only one who remembers this?

Okay look, does anyone here remember the 2 foot gumboots you could buy at The Warehouse in the 90's? You could fit both feet in them and hop around like a nutter. I swear I'm not making this up!

Nope, doesn't ring a bell. Either it's some secret Warehouse product I've never heard of or someone is off their meds again... 😂

Nah mate, you're just making it up... Psych! I remember seeing them in stores but never got one. My mum thought they were too dangerous.

Yea, they were real! In fact, my uncle was part of the design team. I've even got one of the prototypes in my shed. Real conversation starter, that one.

Oh great, another 'remember the 90s' post. Let's all wallow in pointless nostalgia instead of dealing with the now, why don't we?

Wait, what? Is this some kiwi thing? As an American in NZ, I get more and more surprised by you guys every day.

Ehhh...Yeh right, mate! Sounds like one of those weird childhood dreams. Next you'll be talking about a 6-foot pogo stick!

Collector here. Ah, the oversized gumboots of the good old 90s, an iconic piece of kiwi culture, I tell ya. Now, they're hard to come by but in mint condition, they'd fetch a decent coin on TradeMe. You'd be surprised...

Bro I TOTALLY remember those! Used them at my mate's 10th birthday party. Felt like the BFG. So much fun!
