A safety device for manual labor activities in the form of a protective footwear and lower leg covering protects the shoes and lower trousers or legs of a wearer while painting or using a mower, string trimmer, chain saw, or other equipment which may discharge objects at high speed, as well as for usage in extreme conditions, such as that experienced by workmen such as welders and grinders, who may be exposed to showers of sparks and/or droplets of molten metal. The covering device also serves to protect the user's shoes and clothing from premature replacement, in addition to functioning as a safety device for the skin of the user.
