They are typically made from lightweight, flexible materials like plastic, non-woven fabric, or fabric blends, and are commonly used in medical, industrial, and cleanroom settings.

Features:

1. Disposable Shoe Covers:
   • Material: Usually made of lightweight plastic (such as polyethylene), non-woven fabric, or a combination of both.
   • Use: These are single-use and are discarded after wearing. They’re commonly used in environments that require cleanliness, such as hospitals, laboratories, and construction sites.
   • Advantages: Convenient and hygienic, as they can be disposed of after each use, reducing the risk of contamination.
2. Waterproof Shoe Covers:
   • Material: Typically made of rubber, latex, or vinyl, these shoe covers are designed to be waterproof.
   • Use: Ideal for outdoor work in rainy or muddy conditions or in settings where the floor must remain dry (e.g., food processing, painting).
   • Advantages: Keep shoes dry and prevent moisture from being tracked indoors.
