Not applicable. Not applicable. Not applicable. Not applicable. 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to the field of shoes and more particularly to a means preventing wear and tear in shoes used for skateboarding. 2. Description of the Related Art In the construction of shoes the sole of the shoe is designed to absorb wear that is normally encountered during walking and running. The upper of the shoe, which surrounds the top of the foot and the ankle, is generally made of fabric and is not designed to encounter significant wear. When the upper of a shoe encounters localized wear, the upper may become frayed or acquire a hole. However, some activities may cause significant wear and tear on the sole, in addition to the upper, resulting in premature failure of the shoe. Premature failure of shoes is common in conjunction with children since certain activities that children engage in do cause abrasive wear to various parts of a shoe. Skateboarding is an example of this type of activity. Certain maneuvers involving a skateboard require rough contact between a skateboarder\'s shoe and the ground and/or a skateboard. This friction can quickly result in a hole on the sole or upper of one shoe which would require premature replacement of a pair of shoes. In order to avoid this premature replacement, skateboarders have been known to make fabric pads and tape or sew the same to their shoes in the area where localized wear occurs. These fabric pads quickly wear out and require replacement. Another way in which skateboarders have tried to mitigate wear and tear is by using special shoe glue to repair the shoe damage, but this noticeable glue can be messy and perhaps unattractive to users. Many skateboarders, however, resort to buying new shoes. Thus, it is highly desirable to have a means for preventing the wear and tear of shoes that is durable, adept at preserving the condition of shoes, and less than expensive than replacing shoes. The various exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a removable shoe cover having an inner side and an outer side. The removable shoe cover comprises a front part for substantially covering an anterior of an upper and an anterior of an outsole of a shoe. The front part also comprises a top side and a bottom side. The removable shoe cover also includes a strap, which is connected to the front part and stretched around a posterior of a shoe to maintain a snug fit. The removable shoe cover leaves a heel substantially exposed and uncovered. The various exemplary embodiments of the present invention also include a method of preventing wear and tear in shoes comprising a step of placing a removable shoe cover over a shoe, wherein the removable shoe cover, having an inner side and an outer side, comprises a front part for substantially covering an anterior of an upper and an anterior of an outsole of a shoe. The front part also comprises a top side and a bottom side. The removable shoe cover also includes a strap, which is connected to the front part. The removable shoe cover leaves a heel substantially exposed and uncovered. The method of preventing wear and tear in shoes of the present invention also comprises a step of securing the strap around the posterior of the shoe to maintain a snug fit. The various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, which will become more apparent as the description proceeds, are described in the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: Continue reading about Removable shoe cover...
