Are there instructions?

The Heel Shield will fit shoes and boots up to a DD width.

Slide The Shield onto the bottom rear of the shoe being sure to cover the shoe area that rests on the carpeting.

FOR cowboy boots, cover the lower rear of the heel of the boot including the top of the heel.

FOR smooth leather slide The Heel Shield over the lower rear of the shoe to cover the top of the heel and the bottom of the shoe. To use, rest your foot on the floor of the car, keeping the shield between the car and your shoe.

FOR suede and other non-smooth leathers, open the Heel Shield to ease The Shield onto your shoe without damaging the surface of the shoe placing The Heel Shield over the bottom rear of the shoe and top of the heel.

The Heel Shield must be adjusted to cover the part of your shoe that you rest on the car mats. FOR cowboy boots, cover the lower rear of the heel of the boot including the top of the heel. Again, be sure to cover the part of your boot that will come to rest on the car mat.

Why is the Heel Shield the best product of this type?

The Heel Shield is the only product on the market that provides a barrier between the shoe and the car mats. The Heel Shield also protects car mats from damage from driving with your heel pressed into the mats - again saving you money.

Additionally, you can use the same Heel Shield on your athletic shoes, cowboy boots and for the ladies - their heels (flats and high heels).

What is the difference between using a covered versus an uncovered Heel Shield?

The uncovered Heel Shield will fit a wider shoe (up to a DD width) better than a Heel Shield covered in a smooth material. Sometimes a covered Heel Shield will slip off of a wide shoe.

Because shoes come in different materials, Heel Shields also come in different models to accommodate the different shoe finishes. For a suede shoe, a Heel Shield with smooth coverings would work the best. For a shoe with a slippery leather, a Heel Shield with a tacky covering would work the best.
