【Rain measures】 Here are three cover & shoe options that you would want on a day like this.
Every day with sudden heavy rains and long stretches of rain. Even if it's clear in the morning when I head to work, it's been continuing with heavy rain when I return home. I selected covers & shoes that would be nice to have in such conditions.
Go out in your regular shoes, and if it rains, cover them with the
"Too Cover Rain Gaiter," a rain gaiter that can be worn over your usual shoes without needing to change them. With its structure that slips over the toes and a long length of 50cm, it provides extensive coverage from the cuffs of your pants to your shoes. The reflective print on the back and the reflector rubber at the feet support safe movement in rainy weather.

When not in use, store it in the included storage bag. It may be a new option for "rain that isn't heavy enough to change into rain boots" for commuting, cycling, and outdoor activities.
The outdoor activity brand "KiU" believes in enjoying any weather. In addition to the "Too Cover Rain Gaiter," they offer a wide range of products including ponchos, umbrellas, body bags, backpacks, and outdoor gear. The price is reasonable, featuring designs that allow for enjoyment in any weather and high-functionality specifications that cater to individual needs.
Important business negotiations start with clean feet! Weatherproof leather shoes
As more people shift to commuting in sneakers, leather shoes still play an important role in key situations like business negotiations and interviews. However, many are expressing that "the burden of preparing for sudden rain and caring for leather shoes in daily life has become a hassle." To address this, Aoyama Shokai has developed weatherproof leather shoes that can be worn comfortably regardless of the weather and can be easily cleaned by simply wiping off any rain.

By inserting a special film between the surface and the interior of the shoe, exceptional waterproof properties have been achieved. This film contains numerous tiny holes that allow moisture to escape.
The insole is made from a mesh material, allowing air circulation between the inside and outside, reducing the discomfort of sweat. Additionally, the toe area, which is easily visible, uses durable genuine leather resistant to scratches and wear, combining durability with a sense of luxury. This shoe will effectively protect your feet from sudden rain and be a reliable choice in business settings.
