Further Information

Complete set (2 heel plates, 2 toe plates, 10 toe screws and 12 heel nails)
Includes all fixing nails/screws
Cast iron

These classic cast iron heel and toe plates are still manufactured in a cast iron foundry in the UK over 100 years after they were first developed.

Putting plates on the soles of your shoes or boots will greatly prolong their life. And if you're after that 'drill sergeant click' or the 'crunch' of a marching regiment then these won't disappoint.

Fixing couldn't be easier. Simply place the heel plate over the area to be protected and tap each nail home with two or three sharp blows from a hammer. The toe plates use shorter screws to securely fix in place. Ideal for brogues, ammo and drill boots.

Includes everything you need to add plates to one pair of boots. You get 2 heel plates, 2 toe plates and the right number of nails and screws for fixing.

Choose the appropriate size based on the following (dimensions refer to the length of the heel plate from the top of the curve to bottom ends):

Small = 2 7/8" (appropriate for UK size 5-6)

Medium = 3" (appropriate for UK size 7-8)

Large = 3 1/8" (appropriate for UK size 9-10)

XL = 3 1/4" (appropriate for UK size 11+)

The approx width at the widest point for small and medium heel plates is 7cm, and for large and XL it is 7.5cm

Caution should be exercised when walking with heel and toe plates on smooth hard surfaces. Not suitable for soles with air pockets, e.g. Dr Martens.

Q & A's

Q: How thick are the plates in mm?
A: They are approx 5mm

Q: What do the inch measurements refer to?
A: It is the overall length of the heel plate, i.e. the vertical measurement from the top centre of the plate to the very bottom.

Q: how long are the nails because i would like to fit these plates to my RAF parade shoes but i not sure if the nails would be too long
A: The heel nails are approximately 22mm long.

Q: can you supply the nails i need about 24
A: We don't sell the nails on their own I'm afraid, only as a set with the heel and toe plates.

Fits like a glove.

Fits easily to the heels and toes of the old boots once the old ones are removed. now it feels like new boots again.

Pros: Comes with nails., Fits well to the sole., Easy to install.

Cons: Doesn't last long., No traction on smooth floors.

Sizing: Feels about right

Would recommend: Yes

Didn't realise they still made these but i had some back in teh sixties so decided to order a pair. Haven't put them on my boots yet but first impressions are good, they are strong, well made and come with all the screws and nails you need.

Pros: Everything included, Well made, Heavy

Cons: none

Would recommend: Yes

Excellent product but.....

I bought this product in anticipation of receiving my Scottish military brogues (size nine) so ordered size nine blakeys, toe plates were fine but the heel plates were gigantic compared to the shoe heel. when ordering make sure you measure the width of the actual heel rather than go by the shoe sizes given, these are probably for ammo boots. I need to order a new set now. Lesson learned :)

Pros: none

Cons: none

Would recommend: Yes
