ABSTRACT:
An overshoe is provided having improved means for facilitating its being put on or taken off, especially over bulky or unusually shaped footwear. The overshoe is provided with opposing apertures on either side of the ankle, extending from almost the heel, vertically to the top of the ankle of the overshoe. These apertures are closed by appropriate fasteners, such as slide type fasteners, which are attached to expandable flaps so that the entire ankle portion of the overshoe can adapt to bulky footwear. When the overshoe is unfastened, the rear portion of the ankle of the overshoe serves as a convenient grip to facilitate putting on or taking off of the overshoe. The overshoe is particularly adapted to be worn over orthopedic type shoes.
