As described in some of our other blog posts, Shoe Inn has many types of shoe covers that have a variety of characteristics which allow them to be used for different purposes. One of the characteristics that isn’t usually discussed is the color of the various types. Most shoe covers are blue or white or a combination of the two. However, for years Shoe Inn has offered our thicker 40g fabric with traction shoe covers in colors in addition to the industry standard light blue. In the past we have offered them in pink, yellow, purple and green.
So, why do we have the same shoe cover in a variety of colors? Some of our customers simply like having a color option other than blue. Others need to have particular users wear alternative colors to differentiate them for various reasons (e.g., for access control). Finally, the original reason we brought pink and purple in years ago was to represent some of the various “awareness months” (e.g., pink for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October).
Starting in 2020, Shoe Inn will again offer special pricing on our alternative color shoe covers for several of the various “awareness months”:
