My husband has always admired my "Chicken Boots" - another version of Sloggers. My feet were always dry when we went to IndyCar races in the morning when the grass was still dewy or when we were sightseeing in puddles. I couldn't convince him that my feet were dry because of the chickens so we were lucky to find a good male black couple. He says they are very comfortable and have excellent toe room. For those of you who don't like dress shoes, they can pass as dress shoes in a pinch - just pretend you're wearing dress shoes.
