I always left plastic booties with the customers. When I was at Jon Don last spring I picked up enough for the year but somehow got the fabric ones. I think I prefer the plastic better because it would keep the customers feet/socks dry where the fabric ones let the moisture through.

Thoughts?

Yes get some extra large plastic ones to use as head covers in rainy weather. Plus, you can look like the soup nazi

I don’t use booties anymore. I tell people to put on socks if they’re going to walk on the carpet. I used to use the fabric ones when I did use them. One less cost for me.

I think the point might be building relationships more than the actual use of the booties. Everybody knows most customers probably throw them onto the kitchen counter for the maid to throw away later.

I buy good not cheap reusable non slip booties fabric and plastic from Amazon

I have a lot of them in different sizes and colors for men women and children that I give out

The cheap one size fits all usually in 100 or 50 packs SUCK

Fabric and plastic are about the same but if I had to pick one I would say I prefer fabric

I use plastic shoe covers to protect my shoes from overspray and the filth in the carpet.
I use shoe covers, protect the flooring, and place corners guards when working vacant properties as well. These steps take only a few minutes of my time, but are integral part of earning trust and building the long- lasting business relationships, no doubt .

The rubber band on the white plastic ones dries out in a few months here and they snap almost every time trying to get them over my size 15s...

I stopped buying them shortly after moving here

In my experience, the rubber band breaks in cold temperatures, but it holds fine in the summer. Size 15 is hard to accommodate, that's for sure.
