Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application also claims priority to Taiwan Patent Application No. 107121058 filed in the Taiwan Patent Office on Jun. 20, 2018 and 106121963 on Jun. 30, 2017, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a shoe cover, and more particularly to a shoe cover that is made of a heat moldable material, waterproof, and able to cover a shoe to keep splash off the shoe.

Description of Related Art

In Taiwan, where the weather is often rainy and humid, rain boots are worn outdoors on rainy days. Meanwhile, boot wearers tend to carry an extra pair of shoes and change their rain boots to the extra pair of footwear upon their arrival at destination. However, not only are conventional rain boots heavy, they somehow cause inconvenience because a user will be required to change their footwear at the destination. The poor foldability of conventional rain boots also adds to the problem, causing a trouble to the user when it comes to stashing away the changed pair of footwear. Although various foldable rain boots have been developed and manufactured, their considerable volume when folded still fails to meet the user's needs.

As commuting methods have become more convenient than ever, needs for a sturdy pair of rain boots have been diminishing; instead, what is increasingly sought after are thin and lightweight waterproof shoe covers. A user putting on waterproof shoe covers will only be required to remove them upon arrival at destination and thus spared from the effort of changing footwear. Thin and lightweight shoe covers have more advantages over rain boots in terms of their high foldability that allows them to be easily stashed away. In addition, the manufacturing cost of waterproof shoe covers is lower than that of hardened rain boots. Upon arriving at destination, a user may even discard their shoe covers right away.

In view of the above, it is worth developing a type of easy-to-wear waterproof shoe covers that users will be more eager to carry around.
