In order to better understand the scope of this invention we will describe it on the attached drawings in which a design of the same has materialized, given as an example and Without limitation.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 shows the base design of the device surface coating with two distinct zones or layers and drawn die.

Fig. 2 shows the invention available for be used as a surface and

Fig. 3 shows one of the sandals that They can get from the protective surface.

We can verify that, in the drawings we have, represented by (a) the lower base zone or layer Non-slip and lightweight and waterproof material, (b) the upper area of absorbent material, with tear and light resistance, (c) Advertising print on the material, (d) die cut contour for removal of disposable slippers and (e) area with adhesive for the placement of the shoes.
