Summary:Coated footwear and methods for making and using the same. An outer surface of a fabric layer conforming closely to the top, sides, bottom and individual toes of a foot is coated with a material in the areas where the fabric layer conforms closely to the sides, bottom and individual toes of the foot. The fabric layer can be elastic, breathable, ultraviolet light inhibiting, and/or chosen from the class of materials including supplex, spandex, nylon, and nylon/cotton blend. The coating can be textured, chosen from one or more of the class of materials including latex, nitrile, and polyurethane and/or including a chemical agent to insure adhesion of the coating to the outer surface of the fabric layer. The footwear can be made by immersing the fabric layer in a container filled with the coating material. Also, if desired, a second coating can be adhered over the first coating.
