Product Information
Full details
Floorsaver Spiked Shoes are designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who need to navigate unset concrete or epoxy flooring without compromising the surface finish. These shoes allow you to walk across fresh applications to disperse air bubbles and ensure a smooth, level result, though they require careful balance and practice to walk in comfortably without marring the surface.

FAQs
Can these be used on hardwood floors?
No, these are strictly for use on unset concrete, epoxy, or liquid flooring applications. They will damage finished surfaces.
Do these fit over sneaker-style safety shoes?
Yes, the universal strap system is designed to accommodate various footwear profiles, including sneaker-style safety shoes.
How do I maintain the spikes?
Keep them clean of all debris after every use and store them in a cool, dry place to prevent rust or corrosion.
Are these shoes heavy?
They are manufactured to be lightweight to prevent user fatigue, though wearing them does add a slight amount of weight to your foot movement.
Can I walk on thin-set with these?
They are best suited for liquid-applied coatings, self-levelers, and epoxy where you need to reach center points without leaving large voids.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel unstable or wobbly while walking
Tighten the straps further to ensure a snug fit against your work boots and practice taking smaller, deliberate steps.
Spikes leaving too deep of a mark in the surface
Ensure you are using a flat-footed walking technique and avoid placing excess pressure on the heel or toe while pivoting.
Difficulty removing dried concrete from spikes
Soak the spikes in a suitable cleaner or solvent for a few minutes, then use a wire brush to dislodge the debris.
Pros and Cons

- Can be tiring to wear for long periods
- Not suitable for use on fully cured, hard surfaces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Floorsaver Spiked Shoes, place them on a flat, solid surface and step into them wearing your standard work boots. Tighten the straps firmly so there is no lateral movement between your boot and the shoe base. For compatibility, these are designed to fit most standard industrial work boots; however, extremely oversized or unusually shaped boots may require extra strap tension. After use, it is critical to clean the spikes and the underside of the shoes immediately while the material is still wet. Use a stiff-bristled brush and an appropriate solvent or water to remove concrete or resin residue. Failure to clean them promptly will cause material to harden, potentially dulling the spikes and making them difficult to use in the future.
