Introduction to SPRINGBOARD®

This early-stage startup has developed a lightweight, waterproof shoe cover that slips on in seconds. It allows people to keep wearing their breathable everyday shoes while staying dry when it rains. A working prototype has been tested on long hikes, and a Danish patent application has been filed, with plans to extend it to a European patent.
