Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a sole cover. The sole cover is configured to be removably attached to a sole of a shoe to cover the sole of the shoe. The sole cover includes a first covering section and a second covering section, where the first covering section is configured to cover the sole of the shoe at a toe box portion of the shoe. The second covering section is configured to cover the sole of the shoe at a waist portion of the shoe. The first covering section angles upwardly and away from the second covering section at an angle relative to the second covering section at an angle relative to the second covering section when the second covering section lies flat on a horizontal plane in an undeformed state. The sole cover is of a sufficient elasticity that enables the first covering section to bend downwardly when the sole cover is attached to the sole of the shoe.
