Pro Finish Spikes Shoes

Spiked shoes are what let an installer stand in the middle of a wet floor and keep working. The spikes hold the wearer above the coating film and leave only pin marks that close behind them as the material levels, which is why every flake broadcast, self-leveling pour and metallic install depends on them. Without spikes you are working from the edges and you will run out of reach before you run out of floor.

These Pro Finish spiked shoes are offered in Large and X-Large. Fit matters more than it does with ordinary footwear because the shoe straps over your work boot and the whole assembly has to stay tight. A loose spiked shoe rolls underfoot on a wet floor, and that is how installers put a hand or a knee into a coating they cannot repair.

Walk deliberately. Lift each foot straight up rather than dragging, keep your weight centered, and plan your exit before you start so you are never backing yourself into a corner of wet material. Have a place to step off and a way to get the shoes off without walking coating across a clean floor.

Spikes are the wear item and they are replaceable. Check them before every install, replace them as a full set when they get short or bent, and keep spare hardware on the truck. Twin Coating Supplies also stocks replacement spikes for the Midwest Rake S550 Professional platform. Uneven spike length is what makes a shoe rock, and rocking is what leaves a mark in a floor you are being paid to make flawless.
