A type of overshoe that is a different style, say you have just been to the gym and have sneakers on but you have to go into the office for an important meeting, just get out your shiny black leather overshoes and attach them to your sneakers, now you have shoes suitable for a business meeting.

So, the invention here is a black leather overshoe?

Many different styles for different occasions, there would be a zip around the soul and you could just zip it onto the shoes you have on.

Hmmm.. neat idea. Convenient AND economical, since one doesnt have to own multple pairs of shoes.

But I must point out that the average pair of sneakers are much bigger around the feet than the average pair of formals or loafers

Maby there could be a neoprene undershoe that fits into many different overshoes.

What if you like your Lobb brogue uppers and want to change the undershoe to, say, go up a mountain, or run to work, or shake off the Feds in a sandy area. Shirley this is usefuller.

Sounds a bit like the clip-on plastic covers for personalising mobile phones.

If you are coming straight from the gym you'd need an 'oversuit' as well.

If you have a change of clothes, you are more than likely to have a change of shoes too. So its either 'complete change' or 'complete clip-ons'.
