A system for use with footwear comprising:
- a first sleeve having a first outer side portion, a first inner side portion, a first heel portion, a first sole portion, a first closure mechanism, a first plurality of attachment members, and a first exterior pocket,
- the first outer side portion, the first inner side portion, and the first heel portion being coupled together to define a first opening of the first sleeve,
- responsive to the first closure mechanism being in an open position, the first outer side portion and the first inner side portion are at least partially disconnected from one another such that the first opening of the first sleeve is in a first configuration to aid the first sleeve in receiving a first of a pair of footwear therein,
- responsive to the first closure mechanism being in a closed position, the first opening of the first sleeve is in a second configuration such that the first sleeve is configured to secure the first of the pair of footwear therein,
- the first plurality of attachment members being positioned adjacent to the first opening,
- the first exterior pocket being coupled to an exterior surface of the first heel portion and being configured to be inverted and house therein the first outer side portion, the first inner side portion, the first heel portion, and the first sole portion;
- a second sleeve having a second outer side portion, a second inner side portion, a second heel portion, a second sole portion, a second closure mechanism, a second plurality of attachment members, and a second exterior pocket,
- the second outer side portion, the second inner side portion, and the second heel portion being coupled together to define a second opening of the second sleeve,
- responsive to the second closure mechanism being in an open position, the second outer side portion and the second inner side portion are at least partially disconnected from one another such that the second opening of the second sleeve in a first configuration to aid the second sleeve in receiving a second of the pair of footwear,
- responsive to the second closure mechanism being in a closed position, the second opening of the second sleeve is in a second configuration such that the second sleeve is configured to secure the second of the pair of footwear therein,
- the second plurality of attachment members being positioned adjacent to the second opening,
- the second exterior pocket being coupled to an exterior surface of the second heel portion and being configured to be inverted and house therein the second outer side portion, the second inner side portion, the second heel portion, and the second sole portion;
- and
- a strap configured to be removably coupled to the first sleeve and the second sleeve, the strap including a pair of coupling mechanisms, each of the pair of coupling mechanisms being configured to couple with one or more of the plurality of attachment members of the first sleeve and one or more of the plurality of attachment members of the second sleeve.
