Shoe covers will protect your wood floors

Dear Glenn: On a recent show, you mentioned some foot protectors that require no hands to put on that contractors can use to protect wood floors when they are working. Due to traffic, I was unable to write the product name. The only thing I can remember is that part of the name was "tracks." You said there would be a link to it on your website, but I cannot find that, either. Could you please tell me the name of the foot protectors that you mentioned?

Marcia, Ferndale

Dear Marcia: The product I was talking about is called Tidy Trax Shoe Covers, (607) 846-4520, www.tidy-trax.com. I interviewed them at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas earlier this year. If you go to my website, www.MasterHandyman.com, you can listen to the interview in the Audio Advice section.
