[0001] The present disclosure is generally related to protective covers, and more particularly related to a shoe cover.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
[0003] A conventional shoe covering apparatus (100) is illustrated in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. The shoe covering apparatus (100) includes a rain cover (102) placed inside a shoe cavity (104). The shoe cavity (104) is present on a rear end of a shoe (106). Further, the rain cover (102) is provided with elastic bands on upper and lower openings. During unfavorable weather conditions such as rain, the rain cover (102) is pulled out from the shoe cavity (104) for covering the shoe (106). When the rain stops, the rain cover (102) is put back inside the shoe cavity (104). However, such shoe covering apparatus (100) is attached to the shoe (106). In a case, when the shoe (106) gets damaged, then a user needs to replace the shoe along with the shoe covering apparatus (100), and thus, such arrangement leads to increased costs.
[0004] Further, other conventional shoe covers protect both upper portion and sole of shoes which makes the shoes uncomfortable to be worn by users while walking. Therefore, there is a need for an improved shoe covering apparatus that could provide comfort to the user, is cost effective, and durable.

[0019] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which like numerals represent like elements throughout the several figures, and in which example embodiments are shown. Embodiments of the claims may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. The examples set forth herein are non-limiting examples and are merely examples among other possible examples.
[0020] A shoe covering apparatus 200 is henceforth explained with reference to FIG.s 2A-2E. The shoe covering apparatus 200 may include a bag 202, a shoe cover 204 positioned in the bag 202, and a coupling means 206. The shoe cover 204 may be coupled to the bag 202 by one or more fastening means. The one or more fastening means may include, but not limited to, a zipper, a hook and loop fastener, Velcro, button and an adhesive. Further, the bag 202 may be tied to a leg of a user by the coupling means 206. Specifically, the coupling means 206 may be worn around an

ankle of the user. In one case, the coupling means 206 may include, but not limited to, a band, a hook and loop fastener, button, and an adhesive.
[0021] Further, the shoe cover 204 may include a first opening 208 and a second opening 210. The first opening 208 may be provided with a first elastic 212 and the second opening 210 may be provided with a second elastic 214. It should be noted that the first elastic 212 may have higher elasticity than the second elastic 214. Further, the first elastic 212 may rest on upper portion 216 of shoe 218 and the second elastic 214 may rest around and above a sole 220 of the shoe 218. Further, the shoe cover 204 may be disposed within the bag 202 and thereafter, the bag 202 may be zipped through one or more attachment means 222 such as zippers, a hook and loop fastener, and snap buttons. The shoe cover 204 may be used for covering the shoe 218 during unfavorable weather conditions such as rain or dust storm. It should be noted that the shoe cover 204 may be detachable from the bag 202 as well, without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Further, the shoe cover 204 may cover the upper portion 216 of the shoe 218 and may be comfortable to the user while walking, as illustrated in FIG. 2E.
[0022] The bag 202 and the shoe cover 204 may be made of a fabric that may be water proof and water resistant. The fabric may include, but not limited to, a synthetic fiber fabric, natural fiber fabric, composite materials fabric, hard plastics, nylon, PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC), and soft plastics. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that above-mentioned fabrics have been provided only for illustration purposes, without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
[0023] FIG.s 3A and 3B illustrate an alternate embodiment showing a cavity 300 attached at a rear portion of a shoe 302. The cavity 300 may be used for storing a shoe cover 304. The shoe cover 304 may be used for protecting the shoe 302 during unfavorable weather conditions such as rain or dust storm. In an embodiment, the shoe cover 304 may be disposed within the cavity 300 and

thereafter, the cavity 304 may be zipped through one or more attachment means 306 such as zippers, a hook and loop fastener, and snap buttons.
[0024] Further, the shoe cover 304 may include a first opening 308 and a second opening 310. The first opening 308 may be provided with a first elastic 312 and the second opening 310 may be provided with a second elastic 314. It should be noted that the first elastic 312 having higher elasticity than the second elastic 314. Further, the first elastic 312 may rest on upper 316 of the shoe 302 and the second elastic 314 may rest on a sole 318 of the shoe 302. It should be noted that the shoe cover 304 may be detachable from the cavity 300 as well, without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
[0025] It has thus been seen that the shoe covering apparatus 200 according to the present invention achieves the purposes highlighted earlier.
[0026] The shoe covering apparatus 200 in any case undergo numerous modifications and variants, all of which are covered by the same innovative concept; moreover, all of the details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements. In practice, the materials used, as well as the shapes and sizes, can be whatever according to the technical requirements. The scope of protection of the invention is therefore defined by the attached claims.
