Made from lightweight EVA foam, the shields protect slippers or dress shoes when retrieving the paper or taking out recycling. When worn indoors, the shields keep floors clean when taking a break from shoveling snow or yardwork. The shields slip on and off easily without the need to bend over and the patented closed-toe design keeps footwear secure. Slip-resistant rubber pads in the heel and forefoot provide confident footing outdoors and will not mar hardwood floors.
