I buy overshoes by the box, 2 boxes of 2000 pieces, this last me over a year an half ish.

Buying them in bulk saves money in the long run.

Make sure you get heavy duty, as the thin ones are rubbish.

I leave overshoes with every customer.

I prefer not to leave overshoes for customers as I feel they make it more of a slip hazard, especially for the older client and on stairs.

the ones that they use at BEA to walk over the aircraft are the muts nuts.
I had 2 pairs given by a custy and they'l probably last me the next 10 years.

White with durable soles. Available somewhere on tinternet...dont ask me where.
I think about £20 for 10 pairs. Much better than the blue throw away crap that get holed as soon as you put them on.

the ones at the bottom left of the page look like the ones Mike.

http://www.elite-supplies.com/proddetail.asp?prod=123345

10 pairs £7

Superb very hardwearing shoe cover.This shoe cover is very hard to tear and when worn on carpets it has slip resistant properties.A brilliant shoe cover that can be re used over and over.Elite overshoes should not be confused with cheap blue plastic overshoes that tear after one single use.

Its 10 overshoes, not 10 pairs. Still, might be worth a punt!

what is the point of wearing reusable overshoes? You put them on walk on a dirty carpet, walk on presprayed carpet, absorb the dirt... thats it they are dirty, so should not go onto a clean carpet with them on.
