V12 describes its popular reusable overshoe MukGuard:
Created by V12 Footwear to protect floors from mud or dirt being brought in from outside, the reusable MukGuard overshoe is keeping tradespeople and their customers very happy – all the while giving the planet some much-needed plastic reduction too.
And it’s no surprise these overshoes are a firm favourite with tradespeople – they ensure clients’ floors stay clean and protected, and as a result, their reputation and business has grown. This rising popularity can also be seen on the web – MukGuard has received an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars by its thousands of online reviewers.
SUSTAINABILITY
MukGuard wasn’t just created to keep floors clean though – it was developed by V12 as a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic overshoes, as they felt there was still a considerable over-reliance on these overshoes in several industries. In fact, they calculated that some engineers were using up to 8 single-use plastic overshoes every day – that’s 2,000 per year ending up on landfill. Reusable, resilient and washable, V12’s overshoe aims to negate the need for this.
Since it hit the market in 2016, MukGuard has prevented an estimated 100 million plastic overshoes being used and discarded into landfill. And as its popularity grows, so will this already impressive figure.
Soon after MukGuard hit the shelves, they received a coveted ‘Green Apple Award’ in the ‘Environmental Best Practice’ category held at The Houses of Parliament, in recognition of this overshoe’s contribution to plastic waste reduction.
SAFETY
As well as being highly sustainable, MukGuard is all about safety too. In lab tests it was proven to offer 75% more grip than plastic overshoes, which has and will continue to drastically reduce slips, trips and falls.
Added to this, its stretchy multi-directional Neoprene material gives a snug fit every time, so unlike MukGuard’s baggy plastic counterparts, wearers are in no danger of tripping from snagging them on household items or objects at foot height.
EASY DOES IT
Another reason for MukGuard’s popularity? It’s a big benefit but hassle-free product. Buying one pair means no more repeat purchases of disposable plastic overshoes, and as far as using these boot covers go, MukGuard’s stretchy material and pull-on loops mean they’re easy to slip on and off.
Finally, several MukGuard wearers are also feeling the benefit of avoiding what V12 have dubbed ‘the doormat shuffle’ – that awkward hopping and dancing that tradespeople often do at the front door when removing their boots before they enter a property. No such problem with MukGuard though.
An investment in business, safety and the environment, MukGuard is becoming a vital addition to tool kits everywhere.
