My mom would LOVE a pair of those! She gauges several wells and it has
to be done every day. She also lives on the "back forty" and when it
gets icy, it's bad.

I meant to ask you about the sizing -- is it a "general" size or sized
for men? They are only selling the small ones on the website -- which
would be perfect for my mom with her dainty feet -- but if I were to buy
extra for my daughters, etc., I'm not sure if the sizes would work. They
got their momma's feet! ;-)

Poor man's version of the same thing is to use ankle or calf high
hosiery over your shoes. Cutting the feet out of ruined panty hose and
putting those over shoes works quite well if you don't have the
ankle-highs on hand. I used to keep a couple pair of the cheapie ankle
high in my glove box for the days it iced up and I had to get from Point
A to Point B without falling on my arse. They are just a little awkward
to slip on over sneakers though.
