Jump In, the Water’s Fine

Swims Galoshes

Your flats are like mailmen: They work full time no matter rain, snow, or shine.

Unfortunately, your toes are going postal.

Cover your little piggies with Swims galoshes. More skimmer than wellie, the Norwegian-designed rubbers slip over your shoes to keep your feet toasty and dry.

They’re made for guys and girls and come in a rainbow of colors. Black, brown, and gray pair smartly with trenches and suits; orange, yellow, and pink brighten even the gloomiest days.

Yes, they’re also practical — waterproof, insulated, and stretchy enough to fit over nearly all footwear, with traction to prevent slippage. And get this: They polish your shoes while you walk (don’t ask us how; it’s like magic).

Now that gets our stamp of approval.

Available online at swimsstore.com; men’s styles at Bloomingdale’s, 1000 Third Avenue, between 59th and 60th Streets (212-705-2000).
