Protective cover for a cleat shoe

Abstract

A protective cover for a cleat shoe comprises a sole an upper surface of which is surrounded by an edge line, and a vamp to guide and support with the sole the cleat shoe in the cover. The edge line includes a rear end arc line belonging to a sole heel portion. The vamp includes a lower end line having points each attached to and along the edge line excepting the rear end arc line of the sole heel portion. The lower end line is upwardly waved between the points to form openings through between inside and outside of the cover. First and second vamp straps are opposedly formed to extend rearward from each guide vamp portion adjacent to the rear end arc line of the sole heel portion to allow the first vamp strap to become detachably attached to the second vamp strap when required.
