Shoe covers are just what they sound like – covers for shoes made from durable material that are worn over the shoe or a large boot. Shoe covers are used in industries such as the medical profession, food processing, contamination and plumping. The shoe covers are slipped on over the boot to protect the person for bacteria, hazardous material or other sources of contamination.

Shubees Shoe covers
Shubees makes these types of shoe covers and assert that their product provides a great level of protection, and is also citrus-scented with a non-skid bottom. Shubees products include regular shoe covers and medical shoe covers that do not have any scents, and come in several different colors including: black, bark blue, dark green, light blue, orange, pink, red, white and yellow.

Shubees also makes anti-skid polyethylene shoe covers, or water protective shoe cover, that protect carpets and floors from getting wet, and also provide protection to the wearer from slipping. These shoe covers are made to fit over a size 18 work boot, hence are considered extra large shoe covers. With this variety in selection it's little wonder that Shubees is the leading supplier of shoe covers in the country.

Cheap Shoe Covers
But there are also other shoe cover companies competing against Shubees. (Apparently the shoe cover industry is ultra-competitive. Who knew?) Booty Boots are designed by North West Custom Shoe Covers. Their product is water-proof, machine washable and very durable with non skidding for both commercial and residential use. The Voler Aero Shoe Cover is smaller than the two other alternatives, though its primary purpose appears to be in biking and skiing use. American Health And Safety also produces a line of shoe covers, including some in polyethylene style, and another called the AlphaProtech Blue AquaTrak Shoe Covers, which is a water proof shoe cover, about four inches smaller than the Shubees brand. Another manufacturer of shoe covers is VictoryStore.com, which are the smallest cover of the group.

How do the prices range for the top three brands? Booty Boots sell for $19.95 a pair, while the American Health & Safety Waterproof Barrier Protection (WBP) Boot Covers come in 100 per case between $30.00 - $50.00 depending on the style. The Shubees brand comes in 150 pairs for $59.95.
