Enjoyable article with a timely reminder at the end.
Galoshes always remind me of The Dead by James Joyce:
"... O, but you'll never guess what he makes me wear now!"
She broke out into a peal of laughter and glanced at her husband, whose admiring and happy eyes had been wandering from her dress to her face and hair. The two aunts laughed heartily, too, for Gabriel's solicitude was a standing joke with them.
"Goloshes!" said Mrs. Conroy. "That's the latest. Whenever it's wet underfoot I must put on my galoshes. Tonight even, he wanted me to put them on, but I wouldn't. The next thing he'll buy me will be a diving suit."

Hunter too kind sir too kind!
Its among my favorite Christmas stories and I would suggest that if you have not read it that you do so as I think you would find it to your taste.

I take my winter footwear seriously, one slip or fall can ruin your life. I wear and recommend Maine Hunting Shoes and Boots from LL Bean for everyday wear. I have a pair of slip on and lace up boots. The soles stay soft and grip in the cold. For glare ice I keep a pair of YakTrax's strapped on my insulated Red Wing boots during the winter. 8O
