Review on Reusable Silicone Shoe Covers - Easy To Carry Rain Boots For Women, Men & Kids | Nirohee by Michael Kosack

Let me preface this by saying that I rarely write negative reviews, but after today I feel it is my duty to shield others from the same misfortune.I work as a dog walker in Manhattan and so I am out in all kinds of weather. When I discovered this product, it sounded like a godsend. Dear reader, I could not have been more wrong.The first time I wore them, the rain did stay out of my shoes. However, the silicon created a sort of foot sauna so there was still quite a bit of moisture. But that is understandable.In subsequent usages, the sauna effect continued and I began to notice that, as the day wore on, some small amount of water began to come inside my shoes.Today, on their fourth or fifth wear, they betrayed me utterly. Imagine, if you will, an especially hearty water balloon filled part way with icy water. Now imagine wearing that over your shoe. This was my experience today. My shoes became heavy with water, each step a cold, squelching experience. The shoe covers were clearly letting water in, but did not seem to be letting it back out again. Had I been walking somewhere marginally cleaner, I would have abandoned footwear all together.Upon my return home, socks and shoes soaked and feet nearly numb, I discovered a small hole in the sole of each shoe cover and promptly discarded them for good.Perhaps their ill fit contributed to their speedy deterioration. I wear a men’s 6/women’s 8.5 shoes. The medium size of this product stretched very thin and tore on the first wear. The large, which I was wearing today, had too much material and bunched oddly. Did the unevenness cause the damage? It’s unclear.Regardless, I hope you will heed this warning and spare yourself the experience I had today.
