Swims Classic Galosh
Rain Nor Snow Shall Disturb Thine Shoe Shine
“In like a lion, out like a lamb…” That famous adage* New York City Mayor Bloomberg quoted pretty much sums up my thoughts on March - a month marked by both nasty late Winter and early Spring weather. You men that care and take care of your shoes (which all men should do) or spend a good chunk of change having someone take care of them will appreciate the Swims.
The Swims Galosh are a godsend in any commuting man’s life. They easily slip right on (and off) your shoes whenever the weather takes a turn for the worse to protect your shiny and clean loafers from the elements. The Swims come in a variety of colors to fit your wardrobe, but it’s their design that elevates them from ordinary galosh status.
Using a low-friction, insulated design to prevent any moisture from building up between the galosh and your inner shoe, the Swims will not only slide on/off easily but keep your feet warmer, provide a polishing action, and grip tighter on slippery surfaces. Oh, and of course they’re waterproof. Now, just make sure to grab your umbrella and you’ll be set.
Cost: $120

I’m sorry, but are you attributing the poem by Lorie Hill to Mayor Bloomberg?
March roars in like a lion
So fierce,
The wind so cold,
It seems to pierce.
The month rolls on
And Spring draws near,
And March goes out
Like a lamb so dear.
hey guys, love the site, but what color is this on Swims.com…..I can’t seem to find it.
Jason - you are correct. Bloomberg recently quoted Lorie Hill in a public statement about the snowstorm that hit New York. I failed to mention that.
Chris - the Swims Galoshes you see are the classic white. I don’t believe they’re available on the site directly, but one of the retailers: Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and Saks.
Check these out as well..
