No galoshes for me, but for deep slushy conditions I've used knee-high rubber wellingtons with heavy over the calf socks. After the first storm when it was snowy and frigid I resorted to my insulated waterproof hiking boots which are normally reserved for the field. And after observing their utility in Bucks for years I broke down and got winter Blundstones, insulated and waterproof; been getting a lot of use from those in the cold, though they're short for the deepest drifts and piles. The worst thing is all the salt and chemical melts. The rubber boots can deal with it but leather needs maintenance to keep from getting salt burned and scarred.
i was looking at these yesterday but id probably yet more use out of hiking boots.

these are my deep shit go to. Good mukluk
Welcome to blue stone. I keep two pairs because they take so long to break in. A dress pair and the old beat up comfy ones. But last year I discovered Seavees and got a couple of ankle high pairs.

I haven't found a pair of slip ons boots that I like. If they are big enough to slip over my heel and bridge they are too big once I get my foot in.

Map app? They work for me, but I don’t do much serious trail hiking.

these were really comfy but they have deck shoe soles.
