Test result preview
The shoe covers from GOODS+GADGETS are an extremely versatile aid for wet and muddy weather. They can be pulled over all types of flat shoes to prevent water from getting into the shoes or dirt from soiling them. In this way, the shoe covers provide effective protection for the shoes. The shoe covers are light and practical, and can be conveniently stored in any handbag or jacket pocket so that they are quickly to hand when needed. Thanks to the studs on the underside, they also offer a secure and non-slip grip when walking on wet or slippery roads.
Made from soft silicone, the shoe covers can expand considerably and are still extremely hard-wearing. This means they are durable and can be used several times without compromising on quality
Advantages
- Lightweight and compact
- Easy to use
- Versatile in use

The first impression
Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The product was delivered for our product test in a neutral shipping box, which was in perfect condition and could be opened without any problems. Inside the box, the shoe covers were packed in plastic packaging with a zip fastener, which is therefore also reusable. There was a label on the packaging bag with the product name and picture as well as some safety instructions in English.
The shoe covers themselves were in perfect condition and made a stable first impression.

The shoe covers from GOODS+GADGETS showed a perfect fit on all tested shoe sizes, without gaps or creases. Thanks to their high elasticity, they stretch well and adapt to different shoe shapes. They are available in two standard sizes to suit both larger and smaller shoe sizes.
The material of the silicone shoe covers is of high quality, with optimum thickness, high elasticity and tear resistance. This ensures a long service life and reliable protection for the shoes.
The shoe covers are very comfortable to wear as they do not slip off the shoe. They hardly make any noise when walking on all the surfaces tested.
The shoe covers are easy to clean without causing any damage. They also dry quickly, which makes them reusable and easy to care for.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 3.7 stars. In some cases, they are criticised for leaking. On the other hand, the functional design and high wearing comfort are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the functional design of the shoe covers is well received by customers. However, consumer criticism of the shoe covers’ leaks was not justified.
Prices of up to €20.49 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €6.99 . The shoe covers from GOOD+GADGETS® are therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €7.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
