Protection comes in all forms of rubber. At Leffot we highly recommend wearing a pair of Dress Rubber Overshoes in wet weather. The Tingely Rubber Co. was founded in 1896 by C.O. Tingley and was the first company to produce a rubber over shoe.
We chose Tingley because the thickness of the rubber is heavier than that of other brands and because the last thing you need is for your rubbers to break when you need them most.
These are great to keep on hand at home or at work or a pair at each location, because you never know when you’ll need them. These also have the added advantage of avoiding the salt stain removal you encounter when you go out unprotected. Don’t say we didn’t warn you……..
Shown here: Gazizno & Girling’s Hayes on the TG73 last whch, fits perfecly on the Tingley Trim 1800 model.

lol very funny commentary. this is a very practical yet elegant item.
I wonder if you carry the Servus 10″ Dress Zip Overshoes. They are great boots that have saved several pair of shoes and kept my feet dry for over a decade.
I recently was in a subway station and heavy rains, that had been predicted, were pouring down into the station and tracks. Fortunately, I wore my rubber boots then and was able to navigate the flooded platforms, climb the stairs and walk five blocks to my home. Meanwhile, other people who exited the subway and wore no boots – or only rubbers – needed to wait for the rains to stop.
The galoshes look nice, but they are not high enough to protect my shoes – particularly during bad snow storms.

We don’t stock Servus but thanks for the tip we’ll look into it. More guys should follow your suggestion and wear overshoes.
