Abstract
A shower boot to be worn by a person when taking a shower for washing and scrubbing the feet. The shower boot includes a hollow body of waterproof material shaped to generally conform with and enclose the foot, ankle and lower leg region with the upper end thereof flaring or tapering outwardly to funnel water into the interior of the boot. A soft resilient lining is provided in the boot with the lining having a plurality of small projecting knobs, prongs or nipples engaging the exterior skin surface of the foot, ankle and lower leg regions of the person wearing the boot, whereby normal movement of such a person when taking a shower and towel drying will effectively wash, scrub and massage the foot and adjacent regions of the ankle and lower leg, thereby enabling such areas to be maintained in a clean and healthy condition.
