I’m starting to crave the times when ‘dark and stormy’ is a festive drink and not the weather report. Save your leather shoes (and yourself) a lot of heartache with a pair of rain boots. With rain boots, two terms come to mind- wellies and galoshes. Traditionally, wellies (a.k.a. gumboots in some parts of the world) were worn as ‘true’ shoe, while galoshes were an overshoe- you’d wear them over your fancy shoes and then take them off when you got to where ever you were going. Today the terms are more or less synonymous and with all the options available, there’s a perfect pair waiting for you.
