We know that shoes are made of different materials like leather, fabric, rubber and others. But, did you know that the shoe covers we use to protect our shoes from harsh elements or for any other valuable purpose, also are made of different materials?
There are factors to consider in choosing the right type of shoe cover to use. On top would be the kind of use whether for home or for professional use. The next one would be the purpose or for what type of industry you would need the shoe cover. The length of time and the season to use the shoe cover should also be considered.
If a type of shoe is unique from the others, a shoe cover is too. And, these are some of the materials that are used to make shoe covers that make each different from the other:
Polyethylene (PE)
PE is known as the compound that is commonly used to make plastic grocery bags and wraps, containers and other plastic packaging. There are two most common types of polyethylene, the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that?s used in plastic jugs and bottles and the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) that is used in food wraps and diapers.

They are disposable as they are intended for short-term usage.

There are also automatic shoe cover dispensers that come with disposable shoe covers made of PE. Another thing that you have to consider though is how to dispose of them after being used.
Polypropylene (PP)
PP is still plastic. However, this is considered the more versatile and more durable than PE. This is used in plastic utensils, microwaveable food containers, workout clothes or active wear, plastic bottle caps, car batteries and the list goes on. Unlike the PE, PP is recyclable.
Shoe covers made of PP are used commonly in medical facilities and laboratories and sometimes come with anti-skid sole designs. It is like a light fabric that is easy to use and is washable and can be reused. Even being made of just a light fabric-like material, this type of shoe cover can still prevent dust, dirt from being brought into sensitive work areas.
Rubber
Rubber rain shoe covers, otherwise known as Galoshes, are slipped over your shoes to protect your shoes from being wet. They are elastic and are thicker than the most common PE and PP. It is most suitable when
