SOMETHING WE'D GET A KICK OUT OF

SafetyToes International of Canada also makes a niche product, mostly for industrial sale. The product they’re touting this week is the “Slipp-R,” a slip-on safety-toe overshoe for folks who need to come in off the street and tour a plant or facility where that plant doesn’t want all their “shoe-gunk” on the floor (Yeah, they said so in so many words.) So their product slips on over your shoe, and even comes with a steel toe. Best of all, they tell us, it’s made of “vulcanized rubber,” and resists “acid, oil and animal fat.” We don’t tour plants all that much, but with the tourist mobs these summer days in New York blocking the subway doors going, “Is this our stop? Is this our stop?”, a steel-toed overshoe would come in mighty handy. Hope they send us a sample in Size 10. All the details are at Safety Toes.com
