Cover up
Injuries can put a real damper on things. Just ask Kelly Marchetti, the founder of My Recovers. After twelve orthopedic surgeries, Kelly decided to make the most of the situation and turn a bad break into a fashion statement.
Available in a variety of fun, colorful designs for casts and walking boots, My Recovers help you heal in style. In addition to being great looking, My Recovers provide a bit of protection from the elements and help prevent casts from getting grungy. Made in the USA and designed for easy-on/easy-off convenience, My Recovers are stretchable, breathable and durable. When the forecast calls for stormy weather, there’s even a water repellant version.
Your injury may sideline you. But, with My Recovers you don’t have to let it define you.

Hi! I’m Kelly, the founder of My Recovers. After spending quality time in an ugly orthopedic walking boot, I ended up creating a fun – and functional - cover to hide my “moon boot” (and exposed toes). It not only alleviated the everyday problems that arose, but I also found that the fun patterns made me feel so much better about how I portrayed myself.
Now we offer boot covers and arm cast covers in all styles, for all occasions, and even weather covers. I want people to know there’s a better way to approach recovery and, dare I say, have some fun with it!

2/17/2014 2:12 PMThanks for the question, Marthina. These are vary durable, especially the weather cover option, but it does depend on how tough of a chewer you have. Kelly will have a great answer for this and she should be here shortly to provide further clarification.

2/17/2014 2:20 PMHi, Marthina. I have a mischievous golden retriever so I can appreciate your question. As Amy mentioned, our weather covers would be the most resistant to piercing dog teeth. I'm not sure anything is chew-proof, per say, but here is a picture of a happy customer (and her dog's litter of puppies).

2/17/2014 2:12 PMHow cool is this! As a recently sling wearer for a rotator cuff surgery, this is that gift to a gramma that could be adapted to a wine bottle cover as well. Animal lovers would make good customers as they indulge their pets with sweaters and such. Good luck in your creative venture! NapaGram

2/17/2014 2:23 PM@Barb Hi Barb - I like your creativity! You are on to something. We've gotten several requests from veterinarians asking us to make cast covers for their 4-legged patients. I hope you're surgery days are over but, if not, we're here for you!

2/17/2014 6:46 PMWhat a fantastic idea! I only wish I had known about your product 6 mos ago when I was wearing one of those hideous black boots! I'll be sure to tell my foot doctor about these. I'm also going to pass your info along to the Child Life Specialist at our Children's Hospital.
I'm also a dog lover, so I agree these would be a great product for dogs. I'll pass this on my dogs' veternarian.

2/18/2014 1:21 PMA cover to put over a bandage for a dog would be excellent. My dog had surgery on paw . Had to keep dry so every time he went out gauze ,tape, them plastic bag , tape & a sock secured by a Velcro band / just to go out, then remove all the stuff when he came. Bandages& tape& plastic got trashed each time, sock got dried for next time. A paw cover would have saved me !!!
