In D.C., it always seems to be raining in the morning and sunny in the afternoon! I bring a change of shoes to the office so I’m not walking around in wellies all day and it’s so frustrating to carry rainboots home on the bus. These would be a great convenience!
This is similar to how I folded my rain boots in Nicaragua. I was supervising volunteers and had to travel to somewhat remote areas by foot in the rainy season. Rain boots kinda became a necessity to get through all the muddy areas so I needed to take them with me. these would have been perfect!
Fantastic idea. I have gumboots for the family and visitors to our property to ward against snakes and other nasties. However, storage is a problem. They take up so much room even though I sit one gum boot inside its pair (saves space and stops creatures living in them).
Foldable gumboots would be an absolutely fantastic space-saving product IF the price was right!
When I wear rainboots to work in the morning in the rain, and switch to office shoes, then it’s not raining when I leave, I feel quite silly wearing rainboots later.
You’ve never felt the desire to put boots in your bag just in case it rains? This is a great solution. I agree with everyone else’s sentiment, rain boots are never something i want to wear all day. But since you can’t easily switch them out, they’re an all day commitment.
I simply couldn’t go away your website prior to suggesting that I actually loved the usual information an individual provide on your guests? Is gonna be again regularly in order to check out new posts

Probably handy to have a pair in an emergency kit!

Definitely useful if you are going camping you can just fold them away somewhere and use them when you need them

Rain boots are impossible to transport. These are the perfect solution!

They’d be handy here in Australia to stop spiders (or worse – snakes!) making a home in them when you leave them outside to dry :)

As a former Portlander, these are amazing! They would be very useful.

It would be pretty handy for the ever-changing Toronto weather we’ve been getting lately.

To pop them into your backpack so you can carry them up the mountain, then stand in the middle of the creeks for long exposure water shots.
