A flexible protective cover for boots and shoes to protect the wearer from injury. The cover is a unitary member covering the toe and forward portion of the shoe or boot, extending to the ankle on both sides of the shoe or boot and backwardly to cover the back of the shoe or boot. The protective cover is partially removable from the shoe or boot having a back portion which is removably secured about the back of the shoe or boot. The toe portion of the protective cover is permanently secured to the toe portion of the shoe or boot. Preferably, the toe portion of the protective cover is sewn to the sole plane of the shoe or boot. In another preferred embodiment, the sole plane of the shoe or boot has a plurality of spaced-apart transverse fasteners mounted thereon and the lower portion of the cover has a corresponding plurality of spaced-apart fasteners connected thereto. The fasteners on the sole plane of the shoe or boot removably cooperate with the fasteners on the cover permitting the cover to be securely fastened to the shoe or boot and to be removed therefrom. In a preferred embodiment, tab is formed on one side of the protective cover. The tab secures the side portions of the protective cover to the back of the shoe or boot. The protective cover is preferably a multi-layer member having a lining means formed of a high modulus fiber.
