How to Properly Use Epoxy Spike Shoes

Getting the hang of Epoxy Spike Shoes is all about balance and timing.


How to Use Epoxy Spike Shoes


Spike shoes allow you to walk directly onto wet self-leveling underlayment or epoxy coatings to spread material or use a spiked roller without leaving permanent footprints.

  1. Preparation (Before Mixing)
    Assembly: Most shoes come as a kit. Securely fasten the steel spikes to the base plates using a wrench. Ensure they are tight so they don’t wobble.
    Fitting: Strap the plates over your regular work boots. Pull the nylon straps or Velcro tight through the D-rings. If they are loose, you’ll lose balance or trip.
    The “Safety Check”: Walk on a hard, dry surface first to ensure the straps are snug and the spikes are even.
  2. Application Technique
    Entry: Wait until the material is poured and spread. Step onto the wet surface slowly.
    The “Spike Walk”:
    Keep Feet Flat: Lift your feet straight up and set them straight down. Do not drag your feet or “shuffle,” as this will create gouges in the material.
    Steady Pace: Walk at a calm, consistent speed. Avoid sharp pivots or sudden stops.
    Work Flow: While walking, use your Spiked Roller or squeegee to level the surface and remove air bubbles behind you as you retreat toward the exit.
  3. Critical Tips & Maintenance
    Timing is Everything: Only walk on the material while it is in its “liquid phase.” Once it begins to “gel” or get sticky, stop walking immediately, or the spike marks won’t heal.
    Cleaning: Clean the spikes immediately after use with an appropriate solvent (like Xylene or Thinner for epoxy) before the material hardens. Dried epoxy is nearly impossible to remove.
    Safety: Never wear these on stairs or slick, dry concrete—they turn into ice skates!
