Are galloshes that bad?
 

OK I need something for my shoes to be able to handle the bad weather. Are galloshes ugly? Where do you even buy these? Will I be an old man?

I think they're actually a good idea; I'm not sure where you would buy them, but if they protect shoes then why not.

huh huh, you're going to wear rubbers. :p If you have put a lot of $$$ into your shoes, keeping them nice is the most important thing.

You can get rubbers that just slip over the bottom and sides of your shoes and they don't look like little kid galoshes. Or you can get slightly less floppy overshoes: http://www.overshoe.com/products.html I personally think the rubbers look better. Try looking at a Florsheim store or someplace along those lines.

Those are uglier than those moon shoes that help you jump higher. Are there any that look like normal shoes?? And what good is covering the sides and bottom? The snow, water, salt, etc. gets in from the top doesn't it?

--And the rubber joke is only funny if you're drunk (the same with "he can't get it into the hole" jokes")

I think there are ones that go the whole way up but are close fitting or have a zipper. I agree with you on the moon boot resemblance, but I couldn't find any pics of the ones I mean online.

The mailman that delivers mail to my work wear's them. You can hear him coming from a mile away! But like everyone is saying...they work, so wear'em! Who cares what anyone else thinks!

Why don't you just get some inexpensive shoes that you don't really care about (or old ones) and change shoes when you get to the office? Yes, you will be an old man in galoshes, and we will all make fun of you. ;)

It's good to be female, because we can wear cute boots like these.

To me, along with the common use of the word to refer to overshoes, it also reminds me that was the NATO reporting name for the system of anti-ballistic missiles that ringed Moscow. :)

Not only are those promoted by that criminal but babe, nah they're really not cute.

OK I also feel weird leaving shoes at work. Do they sell waterproof sprays or anything?

-Rudey

They do sell waterproof sprays. I had a pair of boots freshman year that I sprayed with the stuff (stinky! :)), and they worked for about 3 uses. Then you have to respray them. The kind of spray that I had you had to spray one coat, let it dry, then spray again, and after like 2 weeks I had to get a new bottle of spray stuff.

Rudey-

In reading your other posts...you do not seem like someone who would care what others thought! So my suggestion, as I said before....DON'T!

Just thought I'd tell y'all that Russians refer to condoms as "galloshes". :D


But in reality, I think guys who are in a career (as opposed to having a job) don't look that bad in galloshes. It says that they spent a lot of money on good shoes and are taking care of their investment. Of course, I am part Scots...

Galoshes? You mean like wellies? I'm a big fan, personally...I hate having wet feet. Just yesterday I found some websites that have wellies that are striped, polka dotted, etc. ...come to think of it, I need a new pair. :)

Must suck to be a guy, though...can't wear the cute ones.

Why don't you just wear snow/rain boots?

Wellies? Polka dots?

Are you all nuts or something?

DeltAlum what do you do old man? I need to know!!!

These idiots should just shovel their sidewalks and streets so I don't walk in this slosh.
