However, each of the conventional boots or footwear as described above has the following problems. First, with regard to the above, the cover is heavy and bulky, so it is difficult to put on and take off, and it is also difficult to manage such as storage. Also, since the movement of the body is hindered, it is difficult to work and tired easily. Regarding the above, it is difficult to put on and take off the cover because it interferes. Also, since it is an integrated type, it is difficult to wash and it dries slowly. Furthermore, if one of the shoe and the cover is damaged, the other is wasted and unreasonable. Regarding the above, since the cover and the boots are separate bodies and are not fixed to each other, the cover is likely to be displaced during use, and it is necessary to arrange the cover frequently, which is troublesome. Also, when you put on or take off, you have to take off your boots first, so
It is troublesome.

The present invention solves the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a leg cover detachable from boots and footwear including the boots and the leg cover, which is easy to put on and take off, and is easy to manage such as storage. To do.
