Crushing on Kushies

JeanneSager — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:35:00 GMT

If you live in upstate New York, you start getting antsy for summer waaaaaaay before the equinox. So don't blame me for drooling over catalogs of pool products. I'm just thinking ahead.

And thinking sales!

Kushies Pool Shoes' stretchy tops mold to fit their feet while they're splashing around so they don't get lost in the depths of the pool. Pull them out, and the tops dry quick for maximum comfort while the rubber soles keep their feet safe from splinters on the deck or crabs on the beach.

Even better? These are easy on, easy off for those independent types; so you can really relax - whether you're on a vacation or a staycation. Yup, we're thinking recession style - and so is Kushies.

Their pool shoes are now $5.99 (reduced from $9.99), so stock up for summer.
