shoe protector

Keeps shoes clean

A shoe protector is anything designed to shield footwear from damage, dirt, or wear.

The term covers sprays and coatings that repel water and stains, as well as physical covers worn over shoes—the disposable booties real estate agents slip on before entering a listing, or plastic overshoes for muddy conditions.

I sprayed shoe protector on my new suede boots before the first rain.
