The Shoe Glove Boot gives the consumer the advantage of wearing the shoes of their choice and the ability to add protection of the same shoe during inclement weather or non-inclement weather with a fashionable look. The Shoe Glove Boot can be made with one bootleg or it can be made with attachments giving the consumer the boot length of their desire from ankle, to knee and finally, a thigh boot. The Shoe Glove Boot is not only for protection in cold or wet weather but can be worn during warmer weather by simply changing to a lighter fabric.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There has not been many variations of waterproof overshoes that would make its usage more fashionable thus more marketable. Currently galoshes are strictly for inclement weather. The simplicity and stability of galoshes serve well for their intended purpose but with little fashionable or artistic design.
The Shoe Glove Boot was designed to give the consumer more than just protection during inclement weather. It improves the current art by the heel of the shoes being exposed it can be worn with shoes of various heel heights. Previously galoshes were only worn with shoes that have low heels. They were not very fashionable so people wore them and once arrived at their destination they quickly removed them. The Shoe Glove Boot allows shoes of various designs. It also offers the ability to change to the length of the bootleg by simple attachments. The Shoe Glove Boot can be worn during warmer weather by changing the fabric.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The Shoe Glove Boot was designed to give added protection during inclement weather similar to that of the previous waterproof over shoe. The problems with the previous art was, it was not very attractive, not fitted to the leg and did not offer the consumer the ability to change to length of the bootleg. The Shoe Glove Boot offers this and more by it not being for inclement weather only.
The Shoe Glove Boot is fitted to the shoe and it introduces something new to the art by attachable and detachable bootlegs. Attachable bootlegs give the consumer the ability to design their own look. The Shoe Glove Boot can be made with one bootleg length or with attachable bootlegs thus changing the length of the bootleg. The Bootleg attachments can be made for many kinds of shoes the idea is from shoes to boots giving the consumer the ability to design there own fashion look.
