SHOE-PROTECTION COVERS

摘要

Cover (11) includes a body portion (18) shaped to fit over the shoe upper (13) and has a bottom opening (19) through which the shoe sole (20) is exposed, as well as an upper rear opening (21) to register with and expose the rear ankle opening (22) of the shoe upper (13). The body portion (18) also has a front protector cap (23) of leather, rubber or the like adapted to encase the toe (24) and under the sole (20) at that location. Elasticising means (25) in the form of a continuous piece of elastic material is provided along the lowermost edge of the body portion (18) so as to encircle the bottom opening at at least the sides of the sole (20) when the shoe is fitted. In this way, the body portion (18) when suitably made of Lycra or another somewhat elastic material can be drawn down so that the periphery of the bottom opening (19) engages about the sole (20) above the ground-contact face of the latter, with the parts maintained in tension.
