New 'Home Care Sock Cover' Released: Easy One-Handed Wear Over Socks for Safe Movement in Care Settings

Footmark Corporation (Headquarters: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; President: Norifumi Isobe), celebrating its 80th anniversary, will release the 'Home Care Sock Cover' on Tuesday, March 31, for home care and nursing professionals. This product was born from interviews with frontline helpers. It features a rubber sole and water-repellent finish, allowing for quick one-handed wear over existing socks while simultaneously preventing dirt, moisture, and slipping. Priced at 1,485 yen (tax included), it comes in black and is available in two sizes (Ladies' and Men's) via the Footmark online shop. The development was driven by the need to address the anxiety care workers feel regarding floor conditions and the psychological burden of wearing slippers in clients' homes. The cover is designed to be easily removed, allowing workers to focus on care without worrying about floor hygiene or etiquette. It is also suitable for school events and other indoor activities.
