My grandad, Alfred Prentice, was the Head Designer at Skellerup when the red band gumboot was designed in 1958. He said that he was part of a team that developed the red band gumboot and he reckoned it was only "half a day's" work. He was also responsible for designing the Buller boot which is still sold by Skellerup today. He is 89 years old and lives in Hamilton.
"Made of" and "Made from" can mean the same thing. "That can is made from aluminum." "That can is made of aluminum." However, they can't be used the same in every situation. You can say: "That house is made of wood and made from workers." But you can't say: "That house is made of workers and made from wood."

The word gumboots refers to boots that are also known as rain boots. These boots are made from waterproof materials and are good for keeping the feet dry.
