ABSTRACT:
A construction, comfortably, quickly and easily securing and releasing a protector about and from the rear upper and heel portions of a shoe. The protector comprises a bonnet which wraps around heel and rear upper portions of a wearer's shoe. An elongated flap member is disposed above and across the foot's dorsal area. A VELCRO strip (loops) most of which being securely mounted topside of such member, is affixed at its one end to a corner of an upper frontal portion of one side panel of the bonnet. One end of another VELCRO strip (hooks) is attached to an opposing end of the elongated member, its length threaded through a noose attached at a corner of an upper frontal portion of the other side panel of the bonnet. A pull tab attached to the VELCRO strip (hooks) cooperates with the noose to prevent such strip from being freed of the noose, yet the strip's length provides ample play by which the shoe is inserted under it. The VELCRO strip (hooks) is reversed in its direction at the noose after such play is removed so that the two VELCRO strips mate and lock, thereby releasably attaching them together to snugly maintain the protector in place on the shoe. An alternative embodiment encompasses a flexible, expandable hollow convoluted cylinder freely mounted around an elastic strap secured across the front corners of the bonnet's side panels.
