Editor Obsession

I searched high and low for the perfect rain shoe — boots, clogs, plastic bags, I didn’t care. After a three-month long search, I found Sloggers. They’re $14.99 and come in two different colors at Target (I got the red, but there’s also navy blue). If you go to sloggers.com, though, there are a bunch of different hues.

Not only do they fit your foot perfectly, but also they’re surprisingly impressive at blocking water from invading your foot space. I was a little skeptical, but on the first rainy day of the season, they held right up. And as for the razor-sharp teeth of my new puppy — they have yet to skim the surface of my rubber clogs. They even have a removable insole in case you decide to use them as gardening shoes. I never will, but some people might have a taste for that sort of thing.

My only complaint: Though they’re good at keeping out water, little rocks can slip in under the radar. But, if you’re wearing socks, you won’t notice at all.
