Reusable overshoes helping to turn the tide on plastic waste

Fortress Distribution, European distributor for YULEYS overshoes, reports increased demand in response to the growing issue of plastic waste..

The company says the reusable overshoes provide an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable overshoes.

YULEYS are said to be simple, easy to use, hands-free, slip-on/slip-off reusable work boot and shoe covers that provide traction while protecting floors. An environmentally-friendly and cost-conscious alternative for those using plastic overshoes, with solid rubber construction YULEYS can easily be cleaned with warm water for years of use and are completely recyclable.

Designed to fit conveniently and quickly over safety footwear they enable workers to enter clean environments without the need to remove dirty footwear, thereby protecting indoor flooring, walls and stopping cross contamination.

The importance of hands-free within a working site cannot be understated, with tools often occupying hands it proves very convenient to have a pair of shoe covers in place which you can slip into with ease. YULEYS offers its user the ability to be worn without having to bend down and secure the soles on your existing footwear. They are made with industrial grade recyclable rubber and built for heavy use. 

Jen Matthews, director Fortress Distribution, comments: “With millions of pairs of disposable overshoes thrown away each day, YULEYS are an environmentally friendly solution considerably reducing the effects on landfills. It’s time for us all to take more responsibility for our waste and YULEYS can help play a part in that. It’s fantastic to see many of the big construction and utility companies looking at YULEYS as a viable cost and environmental alternative.” Jen Matthews, Director Fortress Distribution.
