boot cover

Shoe shield layer

A boot cover is a protective or decorative sheath worn over footwear.

Disposable boot covers slip over shoes in medical facilities, cleanrooms, or construction sites to prevent contamination or protect flooring.

Costume boot covers transform ordinary shoes into period-appropriate or character footwear: The pirate costume came with boot covers that looked like leather.
