We are currently having problems with shoe covers in theatre too. The cleaners are sweeping up pieces of white plastic type material which are coming from the shoe covers. The type we are using are obviously not designed for all day wear and bits are wearing off over the course of the day. We are looking at other products that may be a bit stronger and can last a full day of wear intact
