shorty82 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 The Swim City Slipper thread in the ladies forum (not sure how that's a ladies only topic as it is something both girl and guy heel wearers could use but I digress) got me thinking about galoshes to protect high heels. I figured there had to be some kind of actual galoshes for heel wearers so I did some Googling. I found the Shuella, which the website calls "your shoe umbrella". It looks like a wonderful way to protect one's shoes when the weather turns wet. As it covers the entire shoe it looks like it would protect better than the Swims City Slipper.
t-strap lover Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I remember those in the 50's and 60's. t-straps are my favorite style.
Bubba136 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I remember my grandmother wearing them with her high heels back in the 60's. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
vector Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 If you buy expensive shoes, then maybe. But at $90, they're more than my Pleasers/Ellie/Jante/Anne Michelle heels!!!
wongetje Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I like the swim city slippers better, but again when the weather is that horrible i would protect my shoes from going out there in the first place. However, these would do much better than a plastic bag over your shoes whike wearing them.
bootluvr Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I remember my grandmother wearing them with her high heels back in the 60's. Same with mine also as her and her Daughter (my Mom) were never into Dress Boots. Boots Rock!!!!
flavio Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 They are nice to hide the heels for guys that need courage to wear them in the streets. No pum intended. Flavio - Brazilian heel lover, now in France.

onyourtoes Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I remember them from the sixties. One brand was "Rain Dears," I used to see their ads in magazines. They were gray translucent plastic and had pointed toes, narrow heels, and metal inserts inside the heels to keep spikes from poking out through the plastic. I bought a pair and they were great for stealth mode walks at night. They made my metal spikes nearly silent, and if someone looked down at my feet, they didn't really look like heels, just gray boots with narrow toes and, perhaps, a small heel.
