ABSTRACT:
The invention is a footwear protector comprised of a single piece of material of uniform thickness and width which, when in place, forms an open-toed design protector. The protector utilizes an opening at one end to allow the insertion of any front tassel or decoration of the protected footwear and to secure the protector to the front portion of the footwear. Velcro.RTM. fasteners are located at each end of the protector's length to further secure the protector. This fastening system allows the protector to be fitted to different size footwear, and facilitates quick and easy attachment and removal of the device. Additionally, the protector is constructed of a soft, nonabrasive fabric, allowing the protector also to be used as a footwear buffing and cleaning cloth when not secured to footwear.
