Swims

Based in Norway, SWIMS, the modern galosh, are the stylish footwear solution in rough weather.  Slip on a Swims over your favorite shoes to shield them from rain, mud and snow. Made out of waterproof material, these fashionable overshoes are guaranteed to protect the delicate materials of your shoes as well as protect your feet from the cold and damp.

When the forecast calls for scattered showers and you're sick of clunky Wellies, allow Swims, a line of nouveau galoshes, to step in. An homage to a pair of black galoshes passed on to the Norwegian founder, after living in style-conscious Manhattan. Reinventing the clunky footwear, he developed a sleeker overshoe inspired by the shape of a classic tuxedo show and suitable for urban living.

In addition to the narrower profile, Swims also boasts an inner lining that reduces friction (making them easy to put on and take off), provides slight insulation and polishes your shoes while you wear them! The strength and flexibility of their custom rubber blend also has a couple benefits, standing up to the tests of time and temperature and easily adapting to the shape of nearly any shoe. What's more, treads on the bottom (the women's feature a cute branching leaf pattern) prevent slippage, they're available in a variety of colors and each pair comes with a travel bag. The designers behind Swims seem to have really thought of everything; overall they're a well-designed, well-constructed solution for the soggiest of drizzly or post-blizzard days.
