Abstract

A disposable overshoe preferably made from a single-ply sheet of waterproof material folded on top of itself to form a double ply-sheet with a fold at the bottom. The toe of the disposable overshoe can be made by fusing the double-ply sheet to itself to form a toe-side connection running from the fold at the bottom to an opening between the double-ply sheets at a top. Likewise, the heel of the disposable overshoe can be made by fusing the double-ply sheet to itself to form a heel-side connection running from the fold at the bottom to the opening at the top. By orienting and forming the toe-side and heel-side connections to the size and shape of a shoe, an opening at the top can be left to allow a shoe to fit between the opening in the double-ply sheet. In this way, a user can insert the toe of the user's shoe into the opening, and cinch a strap around the user's leg to protect the inside of the disposable overshoe from the outside elements.

Dependent claims

A disposable overshoe, the disposable overshoe comprising,

a single-ply sheet of waterproof material, the single ply sheet comprising a fold at a bottom so that the flexible sheet is folded on top of itself to form a double ply-sheet with a fold at the bottom,
a toe-side connection fusing the double-ply sheet to itself, the toe-side connection running from the fold at the bottom to an opening between the double-ply sheets at a top,
a heel-side connection fusing the double-ply sheet to itself, the heel-side connection running from the fold at the bottom to the opening at the top,
a cuff of the double-ply sheet located above the opening, and
a strap of the double-ply sheet emanating from the cuff, the strap comprising an end, wherein the end is fused to itself so that a user can break one ply of the strap near the heel side connection to increase the length of the strap,
wherein the opening is configured to allow a shoe to fit between the opening in the double-ply sheet at the top so that a toe of the shoe can be oriented near the toe-side connection and a heel of the shoe oriented near the heel-side connection, and wherein the strap can cinch the opening against a user's lower leg after the user has inserted a shoe into the opening.
