Troubleshooting

Shoe covers slipping down

Ensure the elasticated cuff is pulled up securely around the ankle or lower calf. Check if the size is appropriate for the footwear being covered.

Tearing during use

Ensure the shoe covers are not subjected to excessive force or abrasion. They are designed for protection, not heavy-duty physical tasks. Verify that no sharp objects from the footwear are protruding.

Difficulty fitting over shoes

Gently stretch the elasticated opening before attempting to slide the shoe cover over the footwear. For very bulky shoes, consider if a different type of protective footwear might be more suitable.
