Benefits of technology

[0012] The re-usable shoe cover of the current invention includes a sole portion and an upper portion. The shoe shield is comprised of a material that is flexible, elastic, and waterproof. The transparency of the shoe shield is easily controlled from transparent to opaque by adding proper master batches containing coloring agents. Bottom of the upper portion is sealed on the sole along the perimeter. A zipper with a back pocket is attached between the front part of the upper portion and the opening portion of the shoe shield. Pluralities of grooves are developed on the bottom surface of the sole with seasoned intervals, increasing / decreasing from the heel side of the sole. Such seasoned intervals enable an easy rolling up of the shoe shield into a small pocket size. The zipper with back pocket may be attached to various positions on one of the sides. The back pocket of the zipper prevents water and dusts from getting inside of the shoe shield through the openings between the teeth of the zipper. The zipper with back pocket prevents the jamming of the fastening string of the shoe inside thereof and allows easy access of feet of different shapes such as wide toe portion, high instep, and other different types of feet.

Problems solved by technology

None of the prior art shows a re-usable shoe cover that is easy to roll-up compactly into a pocket size.
