Abstract
A foot protection kit includes a flat planar storage container for transporting and displaying a right foot protector and a left foot protector that are substantially identical in construction, each having a protuberance marker that facilitates proper footwear orientation. An instruction sheet is included in the kit for guiding a user relative to placing the right foot protector and the left foot protector in mirror image orientation so that they can be distinguished from one another for proper footwear orientation purposes. For assembly purposes after orienting the foot protectors in a mirror image orientation, the user lifts a foot hook portion of a foundation planar sheet upwardly from the sheet, bending it forward and away from a heel portion of the foot protector until the foot hook portion is parallel and slightly spaced apart from a platform area so that a slit in the foot hook portion is in alignment with a marker disposed in the platform area. The user then lifts a toe guard hook portion upwardly from the foundation sheet, bending it rearward a sufficient distance to allow its free terminal end to pass through the slit and releasing it into latching engagement with the foot hook portion to form a foot strap that holds the foot protector in engagement with the foot of the user.
