ABSTRACT:
A protective overshoe which reduces the risk of injury from industrial impact, compression, chemical, puncture, and electrical hazards and simultaneously protects both a foot and a street shoe worn by the foot. The overshoe may include a protective sole, a protective upper, and a toe box. The protective sole is made with conventional materials such as butyl rubber, neoprene rubber, polyvinyl chloride, nitrile, and combinations thereof. An optional puncture guard in the sole protects against punctures. The protective upper is large enough to substantially cover the upper of the street shoe. Protective uppers are made of the same or similar materials as those used in the protective soles. The toe box, which substantially covers and protects the user's toes, is formed of a conventional rigid material such as steel, rigid plastic, or fiberglass. The overshoe may also include a metatarsal guard, an upper which extends up along the user's calf, or a strap for tightening the overshoe about the street shoe.
