Shoe Cover Market

Shoe Cover Market - Introduction

The shoe cover is a cover for dress shoes, boots, and most particularly sports shoes. The shoe cover provides a protective shield to enhance the wear life, preserve the attractive appearance, and increase the life span of costly footwear. Shoe cover is designed with water-resistant material to protect shoes from rain, slush, and snow. The covers have anti-slip sole to prevent accidental slip. Moreover, the ultra-elastic and portable design also allows to carry it in your pockets.

The shoe cover generally includes a durable material which covers the upper and side portions, outer sole and partial sole of the shoe. A toe hold is utilized to hold the cover in place at the toe portion of the shoes. In addition, an adaptable retention method is utilized near the rear instep or heel of the shoe to prevent slipping of the cover and hold the cover onto the shoe during movement or normal activity by the wearer. The adaptable retention method provides the stretch and adaptability necessary to enable the shoe cover to fit a wide range of shoe shapes and sizes. The shoe cover leaves the majority of the sole open, thereby, enabling the wearer to utilize the traction portion of the actual shoe's sole.
