Galoshes for your... heels?
Filed under: Accessories, Shoes
We've previously marveled at Swim's creations, keeping our favorite shoes safe from dangerous water on rainy days, but now we have even more reason to absolutely love them. Check out these new designs that look better than ever, evolved from their basic ballerina-style slip-ons. These rubber coverings look easy to pull on and slip off on days when you want to protect your shoes from rain, snow or mud. A notable one is the new covering made specially for heels. The cut has been specialized to flatter just about every type of high-heeled shoe, tempting just about anyone to wear these even when the weather isn't so bad. Heck, even the additional traction along the bottom has been lovingly detailed into a street map. Now that's attention to detail.
Visit the Swims store for more details of this upcoming design and purchase their currently available ballerina-style galoshes. NOTCOT and Frizzifrizzi have additional pictures for drooling purposes.
In America, we don't have too many summer music festivals that feature fields of mud. So we're not really into wearing wellington boots like Kate Moss and other British "it" girls, you know, the ones who relish slogging in mud with their knee-high rubber boots on.
This is so incredibly wrong. We don't mean to offend anyone's fashion sensibilities, but we're pretty sure that the fact that Crocs now makes heels -- and that people are actually buying them -- is an event that means the apocalypse is close at hand.
We are well aware that everyone and their very up-to-date mothers have a pair of rubber rain boots. They are very necessary, even if you live in a desert climate like Los Angeles because you never know when the clouds will open up and spew rain down on you.
Oh, whom are we kidding? It doesn't ever rain in Los Angeles. And that 11 hours of mist in the middle of February that halts the entire city because "OMG! It's raining!" isn't really rain.
