Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our shoe covers, ordering and bulk pricing.
Using our covers
How many shoe covers do I need?
One pair per visit. A 100-pack is 50 pairs, so it covers about 50 visits. A 200-pack covers about 100 visits. For crews and job sites, the Contractor Case holds 1,000 covers. Real estate agents: see the Open House Kit.
Are your shoe covers waterproof?
They're water-resistant, tested with the AATCC 127 hydrostatic pressure method. That's the same test method used for many types of essential PPE. Learn more.
Are these safe for clean rooms, hospitals and labs?
Yes. Our shoe covers are clean room rated and used in hospitals and labs throughout the country. They're manufactured in an FDA-registered facility.
How durable are they?
We test tensile strength using the ASTM D5034-09 method, also called the Grab Test. It confirms the covers are strong enough for normal everyday use. Learn more. They're also backed by the Tear-Free Promise.
Materials and sustainability
What are your shoe covers made from?
100% virgin polypropylene.
Are your shoe covers biodegradable?
Not yet. Our shoe covers are 100% recyclable but not biodegradable. We're doing R&D on biodegradable covers because we believe it's better for the world in the long run, though it comes with real challenges.
Is polypropylene sustainable?
Polypropylene uses the least energy to produce and creates the lowest carbon dioxide emissions compared with other plastics. Its lower density also means less waste overall. Learn more.
