All About Waterproof Shoe Covers

Waterproof shoe covers are an integral part of a contractor’s life. Whatever you call them- shoe covers, shoe shield, boot covers or shoe booties, they all serve the same purpose and that is to protect your client’s home. I’m sure that you don’t want to leave “your impression” in your client’s home. You don’t want to be remembered as the “messy contractor” who walked around the house with his filthy shoes on. Wearing waterproof shoe covers makes your client feel that you care. It’s pretty simple and yet effective. Your clients will remember you for your courtesy and concern and the best part is they will recommend you to their friends. You can certainly save on floor and carpet cleaning but the most important thing is you can easily achieve customer satisfaction and referral.

For outdoor waterproof shoe covers, make sure you choose a brand that will fit even the biggest feet, ideally up to size 18 work boots. The bootie should be easy to slip on and off and it should have a non-slip tread at the bottom to ensure maximum gripping. Invest on a product that is made to be extra durable so you can reuse them a couple of times before throwing them away. You save money this way.

Don’t purchase the cheapest one you can find because you will most likely use them only once and then buy another set again. In addition to that, the waterproof shoe cover that you choose should be guaranteed to protect your customer’s floors from boots that are wet, muddy and filthy. You need them to be reliable even when there is snow or ice on the ground. A standard Tyvek shoe cover works great for most residential applications. The color doesn’t really matter but it will be best if you pick a color that matches your company’s color.

Are shoe covers useful only in the construction business? No, not at all! People who are into cycling, hiking, trekking or anything that will make you encounter water, snow and mud require waterproof bike shoe covers. One of my favorite brands is Serfas. It’s inexpensive and the covers are made of waterproof, breathable membrane that keeps the elements at bay. The micro fleece lining keeps the feet warm. I like the fact that the polyester/spandex hells and ankles come with zippered closures that provide easy on and off. The reflective accents on front of the feet and at ankles improve visibility. These waterproof shoe covers cycling can also be used on road shoes and mountain shoes.
