I first met the El Rhey team at our local networking group Lemur Linkup. They are a small local company with big visions for the future and their first product are ColourMe Wellies.
ColourMe Wellies are functional, customisable wellington boots for kids that promise to redefine rainy days forever! I was intrigued when I first saw them and couldn’t wait to get Isaac a pair, but his feet were too small as they are only available in sizes 11 to 1.
The wellies are made with high quality natural rubber and come with 3 vibrant art markers so your child can create their original pair of wellington boots. Currently the only designs available are the Zebra and Moth, but I have seen the artwork for the upcoming range and there are some very exciting designs coming soon.
The lovely team at El Rhey sent Isaac his very own pair of boots to customise and he couldn’t wait to get stuck in.
The wellies come with three colourful double ended art markers (one broad nib for bulk colouring and a fine nib for delicate edging). These markers are permanent, non-toxic, acid and odour free with transparent ink which dries fast. The colour stays on the boot permanently but washes off skin with a little soap and warm water.
These boots take time to colour and Isaac picks them up for around an hour before moving on to something else. I have to admit that I am itching to have a go myself and even up the colours but he is very proud of his work and does keep coming back to them to add a bit more colour.
Isaac really enjoyed colouring them in but I would have liked to see more colours come with the boots or have the option to choose your own colours on the website – Isaac wanted a blue instead of a red. The Colour Me Wellies packs start from £20 depending on which pack you choose and would make a great addition to any art mad youngsters stocking!

I want a pair of these .. I really do !
These are a really cute idea for those creative types. I know Megan would love them. Isaac did a grand job
These are such a great idea! Love them! X
Oooooh these look so fab! I would love some! x
Great idea – mine would love these. They are along the same idea as scribbies I think, where you customise shoes and which my son loves!
What a lovely idea. My sister used to refuse to wear wellies with the great line (still repeated MANY years later) that “only wallies wear wellies” these might have changed her mind! 🙂
What a fun idea. It’s a shame my children are either side of the sizes.
What a brilliant idea – my two would have loved this x x
Now they are some cool wellies – they would even get me wearing a pair!
My two would have loved these when they were younger, but they don’t go up to their size
I think my boys would love these! I can’t understand why they don’t do bigger ones 😉
These are brilliant – what a fun idea!
This is such a fabulous idea. I bet Isaac is very proud of his artwork. My two children love arts and crafts and would definitely adore these.
What a fantastic idea! Wonder what else will be coming in the range!
Great idea, we did flip flops like this once but wellies sound fab
