Overshoes

Posted by Russ Francis on March 30, 2015 at 8:06pm in Clothing

Often find myself going through customers homes to get to back gardens - getting fed up with hopping about trying to put boots on and off all the time !  Can anyone recommend some overshoes to slip on and off easy ? Need some for my delicate size 11's, I bought some the other day but they must have been designed for micro footed gardeners, had to take them back. TIA

    Why not pop along to your local swimming pool. All around here have disposable "shoes" in the changing rooms for people to wear.  Just grab a few handfuls and bin after use?

    Not sure about size, but Screwfix used to do them and I'm sure most trade cleaning supplies shops stock them....

    or these : http://www.amazon.co.uk/ColorDrip-Zipper-Overshoe-Shoes-Cover/dp/B0...

      Thanks Gary, screwfix,were the ones that went back, tiny tiny things, no use at all :(  But have given me an idea - will try the local decorator supply shop also.  Sadly think those amazon ones don't have great reviews and a bit small, even the XXL ! Just remembered years ago worked I worked in a clean room from time to time, they had cardboard soled plastic covered overshoes... will carry on looking

    I saw some big fluffy ones in a catalogue somewhere but I can't remember which one... not paper, fluffy lovely ones like polar bear feet! I'd wear em at home!
    Maybe the Engelbert Strauss catalogue... maybe Wickes or Screwfix...?

    We use blue ones from a janitorial supply company, they fit my even more delicate size 12's just fine.

    Bought some from ebay recently, fit my size 11's just fine.

    Search for Delta Plus Venitex SURCHPO on your favourite auction site.

    IKEA OMSORG shoehorn Sure grip.Not quite the answer to your problem, but I always have a couple of these in the van so that it is no hassle when offered a cuppa. I tend to wear safety shoes rather than boots and rarely untie them. 75p!
