Spike Shoes Clip-On

Spike shoes are what let you stand in the middle of a wet floor. The spikes carry your weight on points small enough that the coating flows back and closes behind you, so you can walk into the field to broadcast flake, back-roll, chase a holiday or reach a low spot instead of working yourself into a corner from the edges.

On a flake floor they are not optional. A full broadcast has to be thrown from inside the wet area, and the installer throwing chip has to keep moving across the whole field while the base coat is still open. The same applies to metallic work, where the pattern is created by working the wet film from within it, and to any pour where a squeegee pass has to be back-rolled evenly.

The clip-on style straps over the work boots you already have on, which matters more than it sounds. You can get them on at the edge of the slab, work the pour, and pull them off at the tape line without changing footwear or tracking resin into the next room. Walk deliberately, lift straight up rather than dragging, and step off onto cardboard or a rag so you are not carrying spikes full of epoxy across finished work.
