US Patent 10182621 Protective foot covering device

A protective foot covering device keeps a wearer's foot dry, particularly while showering. The device includes a boot having an upper end, a lower end and a perimeter wall coupled to and extending between the upper and lower ends. The upper end includes a peripheral edge defining an access opening into a hollow interior of the boot. The boot further includes a shaft and a vamp. The shaft is coupled to and extends downwardly from the peripheral edge. The vamp is coupled to and extends forwardly from the shaft toward a toe of the boot. The boot has a slit extending therein defining first and second overlapping sections extending through the shaft downwardly from the upper end. A sole is coupled to and covers the lower end. A coupler is attached to the boot and removably couples the first and second overlapping sections together to close the slit.
