QWORK® Gunite Spiked Shoes with 1-3/16" Short Spikes Perfect for Epoxy Floor, Overlays, Cover Installation, Black Color (1 Pair)

Bought these as I needed to latex a large floor by myself where walking through it and rolling at the end made the task easier with a better finishThe straps were my concern - but they held on - diddnt slip and lived to fight another day!!!

The QWORK® Gunite Spiked Shoes with 1-3/16" Short Spikes are designed for tasks such as laying epoxy floors, overlays, and covers. Available in black, these shoes performed effectively during the installation of a resin floor. However I feel the inclusion of plastic or stiff rubber spikes might have enhanced the product to reduce the chance of damaging the primer. Additionally, assembling and tightening all the spikes took a considerable amount of time. Overall, the product is functional but could benefit from improvements in ease of use and the materials of the spikes. They fitted well over my trainer (size 10) and didn't come off or work loose.

First off they arrived in pieces so you have to assemble them which is a case of screwing in all the spikes to the base. Next up is attaching the straps which took a bit of figuring out as there are no instructions whatsoever.Once constructed these did the job and I was able to lay self levelling compound without leaving marks. Not plain sailing though as the straps worked themselves loose a few times which was frustrating on a time sensitive job.Shame they were not better quality.

Worked well . Good value

Took half an hour to connect the spikes. The straps are a joke, so long and fiddly im going to just use some old laces and make them work somehow. If i didnt need these asap they would have gone straight back. Poor product to say the least

Worked well for self leveling all downstairs rooms. Just give the spikes a quick wash and scrub after use if you plan to use them more than once. No problem with the straps like others have reported.

Fitted ok, I have size 11 shoes and these were okay, need to be careful as easy to slip off the side but not a problem of the spikes, just need to take care. Fine for DIY

I don't normally write anything negative but these are mansize shoes and definitely not one size fits all. My feet kept slipping out of them - it was like wearing paddles. They were extremely slippy and I felt very vulnerable in them, tripping when coming off the epoxy and catching on door frames etc - it was like a day out at the ice rink - not my forte obviously. They left spike holes in my new epoxy floor which I then had to repair. They are strong and would be okay if your feet are big enough for them. I have very slim ladies size 4/5 feet so I wouldn't recommend them for feet from size 6 downwards. They weren't difficult to assemble but it took me a moment to work out how the straps go as there were no instructions and the straps didnt stay tight - I ended up having to tie them as the ends kept flopping about in the epoxy - I'll put that one down to experience. Would be better if there were different sizes for smaller feet and maybe a different type of stud that isnt so scrapey.
