SWIMS City Slippers - galoshes for stilettos

If you're thinking the picture above is just a rather strange looking stiletto, look again: the red rubber uppers are actually galoshes, which you pull on over the top of your shoes to give the soles a little more traction during slippery, wet weather, and to protect the toes from damage. Most of us will already be familiar with the idea of galoshes over flats, of course, but SWIMS, who made these ones, say they're the first ones made especially for high heels.

These come with low fronts to allow you to wear them with shoes which have bows, brooches or other embellishments on the toes, and the sole of each CitySlipper has the map of either New York, Paris or Tokyo on it. Interested? Find out more at the SWIMS website.
