Abstract
A shoe barrier that covers a midsole on a shoe. The barrier forms a substantially elongated ring shaped band that is dimensioned to encompass the periphery of the shoe at its midsole section. The band includes an inner surface that engages the midsole by wrapping around the longitudinal sides of the midsole, a toebox, and a heel counter. An outer surface of the band protects the midsole against impact, physical damage, scuff marks, scratches, external elements, moisture, and debris. The outer surface can be coated with a chemical composition that inhibits scoffing and scratching to both the band and the midsole. The band is fabricated from a substantially clear polymer composition with clinging characteristics. An elastic member attaches to the top side of the band and secures the band to the midsole.
Claims9
