Description
- This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/846,917, filed Jul. 16, 2013; the content of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present subject matter relates to apparel, and more specifically to footwear covers and associated methods.
- Running, hiking, biking, walking, or otherwise enjoying outdoor activities in rain or snow can lead to wet socks, wet shoes, and wet feet. Besides being uncomfortable, this can lead to blisters, athlete's foot and other fungal infections, and in extreme situations trench foot, immersion foot, jungle rot, or gangrene. Wet shoes during competitive activity can lead to slower racing times, inaccuracies in passing and shooting, or other undesirable decreases in athletic performance.
- Recreational activities are not alone in leading to wet socks, shoes, and feet. Swimming pool attendants, food service workers, factory workers in the paper making industry, and many others may have to contend with wet socks, feet, and shoes. As well, repeated cycles of wetting and drying can cause the leather portions of shoes to shrink and crack destroying the shoe.
- Current practice consists of covering the shoe in loose fitting rubber or other water resistant material. Though this works in some situations, it can lead to a loss of traction and thus control that is undesirable in outdoor or competitive athletic activities as well as most employment scenarios. For at least these reasons, there is need for improved footwear coverings.
- This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
- Disclosed herein are footwear covers and associated methods. According to an aspect, a cover may include a top face defining two side edges and a back edge. Further, the cover may include a foreshortened, substantially L shaped face that defines a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge. The first edge may extend in a first direction and is attached to one of the side edges of the top face. The second edge may extend in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and attaches to the back edge of the top face. The cover may also include a back face attached to the third edge of the L shaped face and the back edge of the top face such that the top face, L shaped face, and back face define a hole.
- The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of various embodiments, is better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings.
