Eight seconds between you and the mud
Step in
Open the zip and put your own shoe straight in, laces and all. Nothing to unlace, nothing to change.
Zip and snap
Pull the zip up behind its storm flap and snap the collar shut over your trouser leg. Sealed top to bottom.
Walk into it
Mud, puddles, wet grass, a hose. Take them off at the door and your shoes come out dry.
Wet rock, deep mud, same dry feet
Zip shut behind a bonded storm flap, snapped tight over your trouser leg, on a
moulded rubber sole that grips wet rock. Creek crossings, mud season, chores in
the rain: the water stays outside and your own shoes stay dry inside.
