ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to protective devices for placement under the heel of a vehicle driver's footwear. In particular the invention discloses a protector pad device that elevates the back of the driver's boot or shoe above the floor of the vehicle to prevent the heel from contacting or remaining in any mud, snow and water located on the vehicle floor. The device is releasably attached to the vehicle floor or mat with mechanically adhesive strips. The device has a extended contoured depression to guide the driver's foot into proper placement for safety and ease of pivotting of the foot from accelerator pedal to brake pedal during the operation of the vehicle. The device is thickened on the side that is to be located away from the center of the vehicle in order to provide a more level platform for the boot's heel in the usual situation where the vehicle's floor slopes down from the center of the vehicle out toward the driver's side door.
