    I have been searching for years, for a good pair of winter shoes that are easily to take on and off, especially when feet are wet.

    I tried many, they all failed miserably until now. We have a hot tub in the backyard about 300ft from the house, the woodpile is on the other side of the house about 50ft away. We go out almost nightly to the hot tub which is a snowy and somewhat steep trail from house to hot tub. Just as often are my trips to the woodpile.

    Edit: Seems like amazon links are not working correctly?
    www.amazon.ca/dp/B0D97ZS4LZ (seems that worked..)

    Good grip, comfortable and warm even wet, dry fast, easy on and off, well made.

    I’ve been wanting to buy something similar recently. I hate the hassle of putting boots on and then taking them back off when I just need to go outside for something quick. Something like these would be perfect.
    Side note: I didn’t know Amazon had a separate site specifically for Canada :yes:

    These were necessary back in my car wash days. That's around when I learned that 'waterproof' is an ambiguous term. :thumbs:

    Ordered a pair for myself and a pair for my wife. They work great! Taking out the trash, closing up the chicken coop in the evening, bring in milk and bread from the barn fridge, bringing in firewood from the porch. Perfect! Thanks for the suggestion!
