Foot Protection

A method of protecting a user's feet, comprising the steps of:

• placing a laminated sheet on a contaminated floor, in which a substantially water-proof material is placed in contact with said floor and a substantially water-absorbent material is presented upper-most for foot-contact;
• receiving wet feet upon said water absorbent surface while a user performs a drying operation, thereby allowing a user to apply outdoor footwear before contacting said contaminated floor directly;
• facilitating a folding operation to create an enclosure with the contaminated surface innermost;
• and
• responding to a securing operation by the use of a securing mechanism so as to resist escape of contaminated liquid from said enclosure.

A method of constructing apparatus for protecting a user's feet, comprising the steps of:

• forming a laminated material having a substantially water-proof surface for floor contact and a substantially water absorbent material for foot contact;
• cutting said laminated material into a shape of sufficient size to allow a person to stand on the apparatus exclusively and unaided, said shape having an edge and a line of reflective symmetry;
• and
• applying a securing device to said edge, such that the apparatus may be folded with said water-proof surface innermost and secured.
