The Ultimate Time-Saver for Floor Coating Professionals
Stop wasting time fumbling with broken straps and cheap buckles while your resin cures. Our Professional Slip-On Spiked Shoes are engineered specifically for Australian flooring contractors applying epoxy, polyaspartic, urethane, and self-leveling cements.
Designed to fit snugly over standard steel-cap and trade work boots, these spiked shoes provide maximum stability and safety while walking on wet floor coatings. The strategically spaced, heavy-duty metal spikes ensure your weight is distributed evenly, leaving minimal pinpoint marks that effortlessly level out.
Why Switch to Slip-On Spikes?
- Zero Straps, Zero Hassle: Step in, step out. The strapless, hands-free molded design slides securely over your work boots so you can get straight to pouring.
- Flawless Self-Leveling: Precision-placed metal spikes minimize surface contact, allowing epoxy, polyaspartic, and urethanes to reflow perfectly behind you.
- Won't Fall Off Mid-Job: The rigid, flexible frame grips your boot securely, eliminating the danger of broken buckles or loose velcro ruining your finish.
- Heavy-Duty Trade Quality: Built from durable, solvent-resistant materials designed to withstand harsh industrial chemicals and daily site abuse.
Always check that all spikes are tightened securely before each use to prevent damage to the concrete substrate or coating. Wipe the plastic shell clean with solvent before the resin hardens to ensure a perfect pour every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers for epoxy and polyaspartic floor applications.
Q. Are slip-on spiked shoes better than strapped epoxy shoes?
A. Yes. Professional slip-on spiked shoes are vastly superior to strapped versions because they eliminate the risk of plastic buckles breaking or straps coming undone mid-pour. The hands-free molded design grips your steel-cap boot securely, offering better ankle stability and preventing you from ruining a wet epoxy or polyaspartic floor.
Q. Will these spiked shoes fit over my steel-cap work boots?
A. Yes, but please note our current stock is exclusively Size XL. Because they do not use adjustable straps, they rely on a friction fit over the boot. This XL size is purposefully designed with a wider cavity to slide directly over heavy-duty Australian steel-cap boots ranging from US Size 11 to 16. If your trade boots are smaller than a US 11, these slip-ons will be too loose and pose a safety hazard on site.
Q. Can I walk on cured epoxy with spiked shoes?
A. No. Spiked shoes must only be used during the application window of wet coatings (like epoxy, polyaspartic, or self-leveling cement). Walking on a cured, hardened floor with metal spikes will cause permanent scratches, dents, and structural damage to the coating.
Q. Do spike shoes leave marks in the epoxy coating?
A. When used correctly within the coating's open time, spiked shoes do not leave permanent marks. The sharp metal spikes create tiny pinholes that self-leveling materials effortlessly flow back into. Pro Tip: Always ensure your spikes are completely clean; dried resin on a spike will cause dragging and leave permanent marks in your new pour.
Q. How do I clean my epoxy spiked shoes after a job?
A. Because they have no fabric straps or velcro, cleaning is fast. Before the coating cures, wipe the plastic shoe and metal spikes down with the appropriate solvent (like Xylene or Acetone, depending on your coating manufacturer's guidelines). Never let epoxy harden on the spikes, as it will deposit debris onto your next job.
