Inner layer segments can run the length of the overshoe, or more preferably include only a ball region of a toe region. The openings can have any practical size, shape, orientation and arrangement of openings, although of course at least some of the openings must be aligned with at least some of the protrusions, and ideally the protrusions will fit snugly within the openings to avoid tearing of the openings. The inner and outer layers can advantageously have different chemical compositions. The inner layer, for example, can be tougher, while the outer layer could be more stretchable.

EXPANDABLE HEEL SHOE COVER

The present invention is directed to a shoe cover having a generally tube-like shape with an expandable heel portion to allow the shoe cover to better conform to the foot and ankle regions of the wearer despite the simple design of the invention. The expandable heel portion is created by forming a plurality of folds across the width of the section of the material which forms the bottom portion of the shoe cover. The folds are made in the general area of the shoe cover where the heel of the wearer would be positioned. Upon donning of the shoe cover, the heel portion expands as the folds unfold, thereby changing the generally tubular shape of the shoe cover into a shape which more easily conforms to the human anatomy.
