Abstract
Thin, lightweight footwear made of a polyethylene material that is composed of a top part and a sole part that are sewn together such that when fitted properly to the wearer's foot the footwear encompasses the foot and extends to the level of the ankle. The top part is porous allowing the ingress and egress of soap and water. The sole has slip resistance properties due to the material from which it is made and the texture of its outer surface. The finished product can be folded and compressed for storage, then later unfolded and worn without the folding adversely affecting its intended function of providing a barrier between the wearer's feet and the tub or shower floor on which the wearer stands while the wearer showers.

A shower footwear to be worn during showering with soap and water for covering a user's foot and providing a barrier between the user's foot and a floor surface, the shower footwear including:
- an upper component adapted to cover an upper surface of the user's foot, the upper component including an expandable opening adapted to receive the user's foot, the upper component including a first component made of a non-rigid plastic having a plurality of apertures therethrough to allow the ingress and egress of the soap and the water and a first elastic component coupled to the first component, the first elastic component forming the elastic expandable opening;
- a bottom component adapted to provide the barrier between the user's foot and the floor surface;
- and
- a second elastic component extending around a circumference of the upper component, the second elastic component coupling the upper component to the bottom component.
