Rubbers for your shoes
We've all been there.Walking along the street, just minding our own business, when all of a sudden the sky gets a tad bit darker and torrential rains begin to pour down.
Luckily, you have a umbrella with you. So, your clothes and body don't get too wet, but your shoes are never this lucky.
In fact, if you're wearing anything white or made out of canvas on your feet, their next destination will surely be in the trash because no amount of bleach is ever going to bring them back to their original pearly white state.
Well, the Norwegian brand Swims feels our pain, and as a result, have created rubber soles that adapt to fit over any shoe, protecting them from all types of bad weather. They come in a variety of colors, which means they can be color-coordinated with practically any outfit.
Marc Jacobs propelled the brand into the spotlight when he used the rubber soles to waterproof ballerina pumps for his spring/summer 2008 show last year.

You may be too young to remember this, but when I was a child we wore rubbers over our shoes when it rained. Mine were red. Instead of snowboots, we woregoulashes over our shoes. They came to mid calf for those big snowstorms we had in the 50's and early 60's. But your feet were always cold.
