A footwear mat assembly for preventing arthropods from entering footwear stored thereon includes a base including a base top surface including a footwear storage location adapted to receive a pair of footwear, and a raised barrier including a barrier bottom surface adhesively and removably secured to the base top surface, a barrier top surface carrying an arthropod-securing adhesive composition layer, and a barrier inner perimeter defining an opening adapted to receive the pair of footwear therethrough for placement on the footwear storage location.

A boot jack includes a base, an intermediate portion extending from the base, and a boot grip portion extending from the intermediate portion. The boot jack has an overall tapered shape, which can allow the boot jack to fit into an empty boot for storage.

A shoe lifter with a clamp comprises a rear handle cover, a front handle cover and a clamp head. One end of the front handle cover is hinged to the rear handle cover. A connecting rod is disposed on the rear handle cover. A push-and-pull rod is hinged to one end of the connecting rod, and a rope is connected to the other end of the connecting rod. A movable clamp piece is hinged to the clamp head and has an arc clamp edge and a connecting end. The clamp head is provided with a fixed clamp piece which is exactly opposite to the arc clamp edge. The shoe lifter is additionally provided with the clamp head to clamp shoes, so that users do not need to take shoes directly by hand, and sanitary protection is improved.

A donning system allows a user to don disposable garments without contaminating the exterior of the garment. The disposable garment is part of a garment package, which also includes a cuff by which the garment is loaded into and dispensed from the donning system. The cuff includes elements whereby multiple garments are simultaneously loaded, but the garments are dispensed and donned one at a time. The donning system can include multiple cartridges allowing the user to don multiple garments simultaneously, such as right and left gloves or shoe covers. The donning system can include multiple chambers allowing the system to dispense garments of different sizes.

A device for assisting with tightening footwear laces includes a frame configured to at least partially surround a portion of the footwear. The footwear has laces and sidewalls. The device also includes at least two compression pads coupled to the frame. The compression pads are positioned so as to contact a respective sidewall of the footwear. The compression pads have a distance between them that is adjustable so as to cause the compression pads to press the sidewalls of the footwear inwardly.

An apparatus which includes a trough for receiving a user's shoe. The trough includes a removal portal. The apparatus includes a vacuum capable of causing a shoe cover to be removed from the shoe of a user when a user places a shoe covered by a shoe cover into the trough. An actuator is triggered by the placement of an object in the trough, the triggering of the actuator causing the vacuum to activate. The vacuum activation causes the shoe cover to be sucked through the removal portal and into a primary chamber. The primary chamber collects the removed shoe covers and is disposed in a remote from the trough for preventing debris and other contaminants from being stored in a clean room. The apparatus may also include multiple troughs connected to one or more primary chambers.
