Default Disposable Shoe Covers

I'm interested in Tyvek shoe covers. Anyone have a favorite supplier? The going rate seems to be about $125 for 200 (the top few Google search results).

Joe,

Go to you local Medical Supply store and you'll find them to be a lot cheaper than the on-line stores.

I carry a pair of comfortable standard Walmart bedroom slippers in my kit bag and use for inside the home only.
Over 250 inspections and no problems doing this.
Clients, realtors and sellers are impressed when I change into them. Cost approximately $12.00.

I agree with Allen, a good pair of comfortable slippers that you keep in your bag, preferably with a descent no slip sole

We don't carry the shoe covers, but we do have Tyvek suits for only $4.95 each.

I use the disposable ones, I get them from a medical supply store. Can use them more than once. I want to be able to take them off and have my regular shoes on when I go up into the attic. Clients and realtors think they are great. I carry extra to offer them some too. Most decline, but sure are thankful.

I used the tyveks for a couple of years then decided I would just keep a pair of bunny slippers in the truck instead.
