A protective cover including a sole that provides a walking surface fits over a bicycling shoe that has a cleat attached to its underside. The cover includes a toe cup and a U-shaped wall at its opposite ends to engage the ends of the shoe. The upper surface of the sole defines a rectangular recess that receives the cleat. The sole, toe cup and wall are integrally formed from a single piece of molded material that can be stretched to snugly, but releasably, hold the shoe.
