Footwear and Lower Leg Covering

Abstract

Disclosed is a boot and lower leg covering having a boot upper portion and an upstanding leg cover portion adapted to wrap around a wearer's lower leg and secure thereto. The boot upper region includes an enclosed toe cap that wraps around the cap of a wearer's footwear and extends thereunder to secure the entire toe portion therein. The base of the boot upper region comprises an open bottom to allow direct contact between the ground and a wearer's sole, and further allow for ease of application. The upstanding leg cover portion includes a body region having a first and second separable edge that join together around the backside of the wearer's leg along a line of connection. This connection form-fits the leg cover around the user and draws the toe cap inward against the wearer's toe, where tension in the material maintains the covering position while in use.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A lower leg and footwear covering, comprising:
 a boot upper region having a tubular shape and a flat bottom, a first and a second end;   said tubular shape first end forming a toe cap region;   said flat bottom comprising an open area and a ledge beneath said toe cap;   said toe cap and ledge forming a partially enclose volume adapted to accept the toe region of a wearer's footwear therein;   said open area adapted to allow said footwear sole to be largely uncovered;   an upstanding lower leg body portion extending from said tubular shape second end and comprising a generally rectangular shape having a first and second vertical edge and an upper edge;   said upstanding body region adapted to be placed around a wearer's lower leg;   said first and second edge forming a line of connection via a fastening means, said line of connection adapted to be positioned along said wearer's heel and calf region.

         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said first vertical edge comprises a plurality of horizontal patches of hook and loop fasteners and said second vertical edge comprising an elongated vertical patch of corresponding hook and loop fasteners to allow said line of connection to accommodate overlap of said first and second vertical edges. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said boot upper region and upstanding body region comprises an elastic fabric material.
