Flower crowns. Fringe. Kimonos. Ill-advised suede booties. More flower crowns. These are the items we most closely associate with music festivals. We hear the words Coachella or Bonnaroo and instantly conjure images of pseudo-hippies and would-be-bohemians twirling around in fields to the sounds of, well, it's not really about the music at these things is it?

But the Glastonbury festival is an entirely different beast. It takes place at Worthy Farm in Pilton, United Kingdom, which sounds whimsical and medieval but is actually just very, very hard on your shoes. Britain is known for its rain, and rain it does during Glastonbury—if it's not raining, you can darn well bet it's at least going to be as muddy as all get out.

As such, proper footwear is required. The uniform of Glastonbury isn't so much flower crowns at is rain boots, rain boots and more rain boots. Wellies, to be exact. If you show up to Worthy Farm in anything but, you may as well show yourself out in shame immediately. This year's festival just concluded last night (with a closing performance care of Coldplay and Chris Martin's adorable children, to boot) and there were Wellies a-plenty—so much so that it got us thinking: Just how prevalent is this footwear?

We've rifled through all sorts of scientific evidence to bring to you an inexhaustible report of every pair of Wellies ever worn at Glastonbury. (Actually, make that every pair that we deem worthy...it's not like you have all day for this.)
