When one thinks of industries in which people need to use shoe bootie covers, hospitals and workplaces dealing with food are often the first things to come to mind. You may even think about the real estate, construction, and manufacturing industries as well. But did you know there are dozens of industries where shoe bootie covers are relevant? Here are three uncommon industries in which you might need to utilize shoe bootie covers:
- Government
Shoe booties can be found in several government and municipality facilities. The reason for that is that many visitors will come in to areas that the government would like to keep clean or to prolong the life of expensive flooring. Many times, they will opt for our KBNS40-600, our 40-gram polypropylene shoe cover which is an easy fit and is fairly durable. Other times, they will use our short wear KBPE825 chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) shoe cover in the event that they come inside from outside, perhaps for a short meeting and return outside shortly afterwards.
- Research
Research is another area in which cleanliness is extremely important. Companies in this industry will use our polyethylene shoe cover because it is inexpensive and easy to use. Workers using this shoe cover do not move around to the point where they wear out their booties. Companies that require more durable shoe covers typically opt for the KBNS40-600, our 40-gram polyethylene shoe cover to keep contamination out of specific areas.
- Tourism
Another often-overlooked area where shoe bootie covers are used is the tourism industry. Many tourist attractions present a likely area to use shoe covers. In the Grand Canyon, for example, they have the Sky Walk, which is a clear walkway where visitors can see down for miles. Shoe covers could be used there to cut down on maintenance, scuffing and scratching. Our KBSB600 SuperBootie is a perfect fit because it is waterproof and has a nonskid surface to it. Another area that shoe covers would be in religious buildings and sites. There are certain shrines and religious sites that require visitors to remove their shoes before entering. Many attractions choose the KBPE825 chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) shoe cover or the KBNS40-600, 40-gram shoe cover.
Shoe bootie covers are extremely versatile and are beneficial in a variety of environments beyond the common hospital and food processing plant settings. From child care facilities to military bases, shoe booties are necessary to keep environments clean and safe
