I see that they have peat bogs in Ireland, and I see lots of people wearing rubber boots in Ireland. Do almost all people wear rubber boots in Ireland because of the land and climate?

I've been to Ireland 3 times and have never seen anyone wearing rubber boots. This wouldn't be a bad idea though, since it does rain an awful lot.

It depends on age, gender, occupation, location.

They're probably much more common on the West Coast and Midlands than the East.

And you're always safer to have a pair of them in the boot of the car. Most GAA matches (Gaelic football, hurling, camogie) apart from those held in Croke Park will require a nice pair of wellies on a wet day!

I live in a remote part of Galway, on the West Coast, and if you're even thinking of going anywhere near the farm, or grassy areas in general, wellies are a must.

And then, much to my delight, wellies hit the Irish Highstreet, with all rhe major shoe-stores stocking them in bright colours with feminine patterns... Culchie bliss!

But anyway, I'm waffling. Where I come from, anyway, you're mad if you don't wear them on a wet day because you'll literally sink into the ground in anything else!

As per any country if you are in the countryside then you need to dress appropriately, so in winter boots and warm and water proof clothing is a good idea if you are on a farm, but not on O'Connell street in Dublin's city centre of high street in the town of Skibbereen - an umbrella will do.

Hopefully your veiw is not that we are a backward 3rd world country! If so I would recommend that you brush up on your knowledge of the country, and maybe visit - if you like bring boots!

maximum human beings don’t positioned on rubber boots lots the place I stay in Brazil aside from workers particularly business settings. There they generally get carry of the boots as component of their protection kit or uniform. it quite is genuine worry-free with freshen up men and in the slaughter residences.

Afraid you are correct...
It's not called the "Emerald Isle" for nothing,...
The land is always so beautifully green because it rains a lot, and the weather is often damp and gray...
This is offset by the sunshine in the peoples smile!...
But rubber boots or "wellies" as they are often called are definitely worth having!
