A pedicure protection system described and disclosed is comprised of an insert worn directly on the foot. The insert can be worn alone or with a shoe and allows walking mobility of the user. The insert is a separate entity and can be worn inside of any shoe that has sufficient space for accommodating the insert. The device or insert, consisting of a cover and a base, is connected by a hinge and the cover may contain no sidewalls. The length of the device protects the foot from the toes to the instep and prevents any physical contact with the toenails. The base may include a continuous toe strap and an elastic band that lies across the instep to help stabilize the device on the user's foot and keep the cover closed. A separator protrudes from the base and provides structural support on which the cover rests when closed.
