Remember when?

[marv2]

Does anybody remember galoshes? My mom would wrap my shoes in newspaper [[for some reason; never found out why) and then take five minutes to manipulate my feet into my galoshes. It only took me ten seconds to do it myself when it was the end of the school day [[minus the newpaper).

We wore those as kids in the 60s. By the early 70s we wore steel toed brogues or combat boots LOL
