Shoe apron

#The technical field of the disclosed embodiments relate to shoe protection apparatus.

#Persons working in professions that involve the frequent use of products including chemicals that may damage fabric or other clothing materials may on occasion spill such products on their clothes and footwear, thereby possibly staining or damaging the clothing item.

#One such profession is cosmetology, as a variety of products may be used to treat the hair, nails, and/or skin of a client. For example, hair coloring, perming, straightening, smoothing, washing, cutting, styling all involve the use of a variety of products, many of which include ingredients that may permanently deface and/or damage non-hair surfaces, like fabric or leather.

#FIG. 1 is a top-oriented perspective view of a shoe apron according to an embodiment.

#FIG. 2 is a bottom-oriented perspective view of the shoe apron of FIG. 1.

#FIG. 3 is perspective view of another embodiment of the shoe apron.

#Cosmetologists work with a wide variety of products in, for example, hair coloring, perming, straightening, smoothing, washing, cutting, styling, etc. Many of these products include ingredients which could permanently deface and/or damage non-hair surfaces, like for example, the cosmetologist's shoes.

#Cosmetologists may wear aprons to protect their clothes while working to avoid damage from the many drips and sprays and splatters of the likes of hair color, bleaches and oils, and all the various chemicals used to execute the wide variety of the hair beautifying services that they perform. However, their shoes may be even more vulnerable as horizontal surfaces below the work area, vulnerable to the drips and sprays and splatters which may leave ruinous smudges and stains on those favorite, expensive, and/or designer shoes.

#Furthermore, sandals or open toed shoes leave the exposed skin of the top of the foot and toes vulnerable to germs and debris from potentially many sources carried by dander and hairs. Also, these skin surfaces are vulnerable to tiny clipped hairs that embed themselves into the bottom of the toes and feet, which can feel like a really bad splinter, and are difficult to resolve.
