Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a multi-layered protective footwear device, and methods of manufacturing and using the protective footwear device. In one implementation, the protective footwear device includes a substrate layer comprising waterproof antimicrobial microfiber material or antibacterial microfiber material sized to the shape of a user's foot with a void space between a big toe region and an index toe region. In one implementation, an adhesive layer comprises a sine wave multi-sectioned design configured to adhere to a user's foot. The protective footwear device can further include a perforated backing layer for sectional removal. The backing layer is configured to cover the adhesive layer until user application. Some implementations of the protective footwear device include extendable adhesive layers, easy removal tabs, traction grips, padding, rubber, or ointment.
