It’s slushy sidewalk time, but lacing in and out of cumbersome rubber boots is a drag. To save your shoes without the hassle, invest in a pair of SWIMS—thoroughly modern-looking galoshes that slip on over your Alaïa flats to both protect them from the elements and give you some added traction on snow-covered streets. The Norwegian overshoes are made of a specially developed flexible rubber compound so they form to any shoe, with a soft fabric lining that makes for easy on-and-off and insulates your toes on cold days (and makes them comfy enough to wear without shoes underneath). They come in lots of colors (we love the cheerful yellow, above), and their pretty, tree-patterned treads leave an original footprint in newly fallen snow. Afraid your Prada pumps will get jealous? The high-heeled version will be available next fall. For more information, see www.swimsstore.com.
