I fish with an older gentleman a lot and he didn’t like to use his bibs during cold weather or rain because they wouldn’t slide over his shoes and it was too much hassle to take the shoes off and on. Solved the problem with a simple grocery bag. Pull the bag over your shoe and it slides right through without the sole of your shoe catching on the fabric. I keep on in my bib pocket as it takes up very little space.
Appreciate the tip ole friend with diabetes has difficulty moving legs to put on rain pants.

Long before many on this site were born, that same trick was used with ...wax paper...and ...school galoshes....
Thanks for the memories.
Yet another "why didn't I think of that" moment. Just installed a Walmart bag in my bib pockets. Thanks!
We used to do that on my grandpa's dairy farm with new rubber overshoes that would stick to our work boots, never thought about it with rain pants, great idea.

Good grief! I remember doing that! Pulling that memory out just blew a bunch of sawdust out of the ole noggen!Originally Posted by richg99
Good idea. I will start collecting bags.
GOOD idea... Da, & the snow boots / work boots through the bib's . See ya do learn something every day, & she say's i'm a know it ALL, Not yet, But closer, now....Thank's......
Great idea!
I have zero flexibility, and find it very difficult to get my rain pants on, even if my shoes are off. My pant legs get pulled up as well. This will correct all these problems.
This is genius, I used it over the weekend and feel like a moron for not thinking of it myself. Great tip.

Bread loaf bags work too.
So many problems, so many solutions.
These sites are a Godsend.
Thanks for posting.
Just about the right size as well.
I remember my mother saving bread bags for when my winter boots were leaky. Good times.
Tried the grocery bag trick this week...WOW what a difference. Thanks for the tip.

Me too. Slipping my shoes into a bread bag, sliding them into 4 buckle boots, and walking 2 miles to school in the winter, thru a foot of snow. Uphill, both ways.
have to keep this in mind.
Nice, thanks for sharing
