Abstract
A step-in type overshoe composed of a molded plastic material which in its relaxed condition has a plurality of accordion-type pleats formed therein with their fold lines being generally horizontal. The overshoe has a flexible instep area arranged to be deformed upon receiving the toe of a shoe, together with a latching means for releasably compressing the rear end of the accordion-type pleats to permit seating of the shoe within the overshoe whereupon disengagement of the latching means returns the accordion-type pleats to their relaxed state embracing the foot of the wearer.
