Base shoes finish the bottom of each iron baluster. They slide over the baluster and cover the installation hole in the tread or floor, hiding gaps and epoxy for a clean look.
More about Base Shoes for 1/2″ Balusters
This collection is sized for the standard 1/2-inch square baluster and works with popular styles including Twist, Basket, Scroll, and Versatile series. You’ll need two types: flat shoes for level surfaces (landings and balconies) and angled shoes for the sloped rake of the stairs. Most shoes lock in place with a set screw.
We offer a range of designs—from simple low-profile and modern styles to more traditional options—in powder-coated finishes that match 1/2-inch iron balusters. Stock both flat and angled shoes so you can finish the entire staircase.
