Antiskid overshoe

Abstract

An antiskid overshoe suitable for being reversibly secured to a shoe. The antiskid overshoe includes a net made of a textile material. The net includes cords produced by knitting, the cords combining to define meshes of the net suitable for forming cleats. Both ends of the net arc encapsulated in a strap, each defining a closed loop, through which an elastic cord passes, the elastic cord further passing through the meshes defined at the two side edges of the net.
