If the Shuella fits...
Yes, it's rainy today and it will continue to rain and sleet and snow tomorrow, too. Yippee. My J.Crew rain boots and I have become BFFs lately. I drive to work in wellies and then slip into heels or booties when I get to my desk.
Chi-town fashionista Rebecca Miller just designed a shoe umbrella (Shuella, for short) — it's basically waterproof material that you buckle around your shoe and ankle. After you remove them at the office, you just wipe off the excess water and roll them up — much more convenient than clunky, rubber boots, right? The Shuellas come in neon pink, yellow, green, and of course, basic black. They aren't exactly cute. But, then again, I really don't care what my feet look like as long as my suede boots stay dry:

The Shuellas certainly seem functional, but I wonder if they have enough traction to keep morning commuters from slipping on city streets and T platforms. So, Stylephilers, dish: Have you tried Shuellas? Would you try Shuellas? Will it ever stop raining?
