WELCOME BACK DIEMME! How could we say no to this.Waterproof lining to protect you from the elements and a sole to keep you grounded...don't be fooled it's not literally grounding which refers to the bodily contact with the Earth's natural electric charge that stabilizes the physiology at the deepest levels, reduces inflammation, pain, and stress, improves blood flow, energy, and sleep, and generates greater well-being. This is the grounding where you don't slip on snow or sleet.
