ABSTRACT:
A footwear protector with a shield portion which is a generally U-shaped wall with an open front adapted to follow the general contour of the heel and a suitable portion of the backside of the footwear. The first heel binding strap portion projects outwardly from the lateral edges of the shield portion forming a loop at the base of the shield which loop resiliently fastens around about the heel and embraces the heel breast. A heel stop portion at the base of the shield locates the heel and prevents the shield from riding up the heel. A second heel binding strap portion extends across the saddle of the shield and performs the same function as the first binding strap for heels too small to be bound by the first strap. Extending inward from the back of the shield and spaced above the base of the heel is a tab means. The tab means performs the function of a binding strap for heels with significantly reduced cross section such as spiked and high heels. The protector is a single molded piece of elastic material which can be modified by its user to conform to the heel's size of the target of the footwear. It is modified by the use of common household shears.
