oh yes! many of the repairmen in my area use the disposable shoe covers. the thing is, that unless they have the ones with a coating (plastic or such) on the bottom, the snow/slush/gunk/(and most importantly for my cats) the ice melt or road salt just seeps right through the booties...and onto my flooring.I don't know about where you live, but around here most of the repairmen use disposable shoe covers.
