Guide Review - Sloggers Waterproof Overshoes
Rainy weather brings a dilemma - do I switch to my rarely-worn waterproof hiking boots and risk getting new blisters, or do I walk in my regular shoes and just get wet feet? Now I have a third option - slip on Sloggers overshoes over my regular walking shoes for a waterproof walk. You won't win a racewalk in Sloggers, but they will make a rainy day workout a bit more pleasant. Plus, they are significantly cheaper than a pair of waterproof shoes, not to mention lighter than boots. Walkers caught out on the 20-mile 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk in a sleet and rain downpour blessed their foresight in bringing along Sloggers. This is a great item to keep you walking in wet and cold weather.
