I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

Slip on / low top rain boots.

I thought I would use them for walks in muddy forests, but it's not usually muddy enough when I go to justify wearing them for a full hike, and they're not comfortable to walk in for long distances.

I also thought I would wear them around the fishing ponds, but I enjoy taking my shoes off and wading in anyway. I can just go further than the boots would allow.
