Abstract
A footwear cover system and method to prevent unwanted matter from entering a shoe of a wearer. The footwear cover system includes the shoe having a relatively soft and flexible upper portion for surrounding at least part of the wearer's foot and a sole attached to the upper portion of the shoe. The relatively soft and flexible upper portion has a toe-receiving forepart section, a mid-foot receiving section, and a heel-receiving rear part section. A housing surrounds the shoe and fastens to the shoe at an intersection of the sole and the flexible upper portion. A waterproof rain cover is stored within the housing and adapted to being extended from the housing to enclose the flexible upper portion. A structure is used to secure the waterproof rain cover in place after it has enclosed the flexible upper portion of the shoe.
