shoecover
Slip-on foot guard
A shoecover is a protective covering worn over shoes to prevent contamination or damage.
In medical, laboratory, and cleanroom settings, disposable shoecovers keep sterile environments free from outside dirt: Visitors must wear shoecovers in the surgical wing.
Reusable versions protect floors from muddy boots or shoes from rain.
