Overshoes are used to prevent the transfer of dirt, bacteria or viruses via footwear in hygiene-sensitive areas. In addition, they can also be used as protection against moisture during wet operations. They are mainly used in the medical field to prevent contamination and pollution of operating rooms or other delicate sectors. They are also often used in the food and pharmaceutical industries by professionals or visitors. They can be combined with other protective clothing to protect any critical area.
Size
As part of the PPE (personal protective equipment), a good fit is extremely important to prevent accidents and guarantee effectiveness. The elastic band allows the overshoes to always fit snugly on your foot. They can be worn by people with smaller feet, as well as over boots. The universal size allows a good fit with a wide variety of footwear and shoe sizes.
Material
Disposable overshoes are mostly made of the extremely robust material CPE (Cast Polyethylene). It is characterized by exceptional durability. It is a thermoplastic material that can be used in an extremely wide range of applications. The material is absolutely waterproof, which means that the overshoes can also be used for wet cleaning without any problems. In some cases, only the sole of the shoe is made of plastic, and the upper side of the overshoe is made of a non-woven material.
Thickness specification
Often a value in my, µm (pronounced as "mü") is given in the product description. This is the thickness specification of the material, one µm or micrometer is 0.001mm. So this value describes the thickness of the material, which gives an influence on its durability. Mostly, a selection of shoe covers is offered in a thickness of 40my or 60my. So basically, the thicker disposable overshoes are a bit more durable.
Overshoe dispenser

Above all, however, they prevent contact with the overshoes and thus further reduce the risk of contamination. They can be conveniently placed directly next to entrance doors to critical areas.
