A flexible protective cover for boots and shoes to protect the wearer from injury. The cover is a unitary member covering the toe and forward portion of the shoe or boot, extending to the ankle on both sides of the shoe or boot and backwardly to cover the back of the shoe or boot. The protective cover is partially removable from the shoe or boot having a back portion which is removably secured about the back of the shoe or boot. The toe portion of the protective cover is permanently secured to the toe portion of the shoe or boot. Preferably, the toe portion of the protective cover is sewn to the sole plane of the shoe or boot. In another preferred embodiment, the sole plane of the shoe or boot has a plurality of spaced-apart transverse fasteners mounted thereon and the lower portion of the cover has a corresponding plurality of spaced-apart fasteners connected thereto. The fasteners on the sole plane of the shoe or boot removably cooperate with the fasteners on the cover permitting the cover to be securely fastened to the shoe or boot and to be removed therefrom. In a preferred embodiment, tab is formed on one side of the protective cover. The tab secures the side portions of the protective cover to the back of the shoe or boot. The protective cover is preferably a multi-layer member having a lining means formed of a high modulus fiber.

Cette invention concerne un accessoire de protection à monter sur les bottes ou chaussures pour se protéger contre les blessures. L'objet de l'invention est de construction unitaire et enveloppe la chaussure au complet à l'exclusion de la semelle, c'est-à-dire du bout au talon, dessus du pied et cheville compris. Il peut être partiellement enlevé de la chaussure ou de la botte, sa partie arrière étant fixée de façon amovible à l'arrière de celle-ci. Le bout de l'accessoire de protection est fixé à demeure à la partie correspondante de la chaussure ou de la botte. De préférence, il est cousu à la semelle. Dans une autre variante privilégiée de l'invention, la semelle de la chaussure ou de la botte comporte une série de fixations transversales espacées auxquelles se connectent une série de fixations correspondantes montées sur la partie inférieure de l'accessoire de protection. Les premières se logent de façon amovible dans les secondes pour assurer une fixation solide démontable de l'accessoire sur la chaussure ou la botte. Une réalisation privilégiée de cette variante comporte des pattes sur un des côtés de l'accessoire. Ces pattes servent à fixer les côtés de l'accessoire à la partie arrière, ou talon, de la chaussure ou de la botte. L'accessoire de protection est de préférence en matériau multicouches dont le revêtement est en fibres à haut module.
