For those whose homes are so cold they need a blanket with sleeves, here's the thing to complete the ensemble, a hat with built-in scarf:
Wow, add a face covering and combine with the Snuggie and you've got the hottest new product ever! The Burquet!

You never know, you might need one when you come see me. -50C and all. However, these people clearly havent heard of something called 'a heater'. Which is why i can still walk around my basement apartment in minimal clothingFor those whose homes are so cold they need a blanket with sleeves, here's the thing to complete the ensemble, a hat with built-in scarf:

PSST. Crocs are GARDEN SHOES not everyday casual-wear shoes!
Ok. I take back everything I've said about the "Snuggie"/wearable blanket/backwards housecoat.
The toe shoe is now the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
I could *maybe* see the use for these things in mountain climbing or uneven/rocky/rough terrrain hiking. But I swear, if I ever see someone wearing these ugly things in public I'm going to throw something at them
All you would need would be a head mounted display!Well, there you go! Courtesy of the DoD, the Extreme Cold Weather mask to complete the ensemble. Now we're ready for a comfy night of television...

I don't know. Yes, they're ugly, but I tend to clench my toes when I'm walking on slippery surfaces for traction. On nights like tonight, when I have to walk for 20 minutes through six inches of fresh snow to get to the bus stop (because someone decided it would be a good idea to plow the parking lot across the street and dump the snow in such a way as to block the only direct route to the street that leads to the bus stop, which normally takes about ten minutes), I might be able to get a little more traction in something like those rather than my clunky boots.
(OTOH, I have no idea whether clenching my toes actually does help or not.)

It also has the [cough] sham [/cough] WOW-factor!This Thread is like an episode of Seinfeld.

Might I suggest snow boots or something?
Though they are a few years old, and the tread has gotten worn. (Even new boots wouldn't help me to climb Mount Snow, though - I'd need cleats and pitons.
)And I don't think these shoes would "help" in such situations as they don't seem to give you all that much "protection" from the elements.![]()
