My daughter has a product that is in patent pending right now, she's waiting for a company to pick it up for manufacture. It's a lightwieght shoe cover that goes on and off quickly and easily and can be folded and pocketed or clipped to the clothes. She originally came up with the idea when she was in HS track. She thought it was ridiculas that everyone walked around on their heels to protect the track spikes. Her prototype has an insole that protects(pads) the spikes. She figured this would also work for wrestlers shoes. After a feild trial (she made several pairs and had her friends try them out and made a smaller pair for little brother's wrestling shoes), she sent in the paperwork for a patent. They are washable, so down the line, this might be a solution.
