I carry a pair of plastic gardening shoes in the car - you know the kind, they are cheap and look like clogs with holes in them, and are hideous neon colors - anyway, I have been slipping them on when I have to walk in the rain and I am sure I have added to the life of my expensive sandals.

I like them for around the house too. They are easy to find in the early AM to bring in the paper and won't slip when we have been watering the grass!

I don't like those kind of shoes. They make my feet hurt.

Even if you use the same running/fitness shoes and gym bag every day, take your shoes out of the bag and let the bag and your shoes dry out when you get home from your workout. You'll decrease the chance of odors and prevent bacteria and mold from growing in places that would have otherwise stayed moist -- and in the case of shoes, that extends the life of the fabric.
