Shoe covers with T-grip are disposable booties, designed specifically for automatic floor dispensers, not for manual application like standard shoe covers. Their role is to protect the studio floor from contamination and reduce the transmission of germs between clients, as part of the hygiene protocol of a tattoo or piercing studio. The set contains 10 pieces (5 pairs), suitable for testing compatibility with your existing dispenser or for a studio with low client flow.
What does 'T-grip' mean and why does it matter?▾
It is a fastening system with a T-shaped protrusion that locks into the automatic dispenser mechanism and allows the shoe cover to be applied directly onto the client's foot without anyone pulling it manually. Without this grip, the shoe cover does not stay fixed in the dispenser and falls off.
Are they compatible with any floor dispenser?▾
Not automatically — they only work with dispensers that use the T-grip system. If your dispenser has a different mechanism, the shoe covers will not lock properly. The safest way is to test compatibility with the 10-piece set before ordering a larger quantity.
Can they be used manually, without a dispenser?▾
Yes, they can be pulled onto footwear by hand, just like a standard shoe cover. However, if you don't have a dispenser, it's simpler to choose a standard shoe cover model designed for manual application.
How often should they be changed?▾
For every client, without exception — they are a single-use product. They are discarded immediately after the person leaves the protected area.
What are they made of and how much do they weigh?▾
They are made of a thin, disposable plastic material (polyethylene), weighing approximately 2.5 g per piece — the 10-piece set weighs around 25 g.
Why choose the dispenser version over classic elastic shoe covers?▾
The dispenser version reduces hand contact with the shoe cover, as it is applied automatically directly from the dispenser, and it is faster and more convenient for the client. On the other hand, it requires an automatic floor dispenser compatible with the T-grip — if you don't have one, standard manual shoe covers are the right solution.
