Abstract

A rainproof shoe cover capable of being rapidly put on and taken off includes front and rear cover sheets that are fused together to form a main body of the shoe cover. A fixture is also fused to a joint of the front and rear cover sheets. Slip resisting elements are disposed on two wings of the fixture. A framing strip is embedded along an interior circumference of the front cover sheet to maintain the profile of the shoe cover. A fastening element is laid on a respective side of the rear cover sheet. By use of the fixture, framing strip and fastening elements, the shoe covers can be formed to cover and maintain their outline comprising the side portion, rear portion thereof and a trunk portion on a user thereof.
