Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for covering and storing footwear. The method and apparatus provide a first unitary piece attached to a second unitary piece to generally form a cavity within the attached pieces. An opening and closing mechanism is placed over the cavity and attached an upper peripheral edge of the first unitary piece. An article of footwear may be inserted into the cavity via the mechanism in an open position. The article may be further secured within the cavity by closing the mechanism. Additionally attached tab portions or hoops provide convenient carrying accessories or storage mounts.
