16.3.2 Angled Base Shoe for 1/2″ Sq. Iron Balusters
Select options
The House of Forgings 16.3.2 Angled Base Shoe with Set Screw is designed to fit 1/2″ square iron balusters and accommodates angled surfaces up to a 36-degree pitch. Made from aluminum with a 1-5/16″ base, it includes a set screw for securing the shoe to the baluster, tightened with a 2.5mm Allen wrench (not included). This decorative base shoe hides gaps from drilled holes in the ground and handrail, offering a finished look for staircases while saving time and money during installation. It does not provide stability or support.
Key specs:
- Model: 16.3.2.
- Type: Angled Base Shoe with Set Screw.
- Compatibility: Fits 1/2″ square balusters.
- Base Size: 1-5/16″.
- Material: Aluminum.
- Features: Set screw for attachment; suitable for up to 36-degree pitch; requires 2.5mm Allen wrench (not included).
- Angle: Designed for a 36-degree pitch, with flexibility for 1 to 2 degrees more; if the angle doesn’t match, notch the wood to embed the shoe or use a belt sander to adjust the base angle.
Usage Tips: Secure the shoe to the baluster using the included set screw with a 2.5mm Allen wrench (not included). For a more permanent solution and to minimize uneven gaps, evenly space the shoe around the baluster and install it with a dab of our clear dry epoxy.

Clean with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the finish; avoid abrasive cleaners. Note that this shoe is decorative and does not provide stability or support.

Only used these on a small section of our stairs as the rest was flat. They were easy to install. Had them in the Grey
Mesadesigner –
We also used a little epoxy with the screw so it wouldnt move later.
briansmith –
These fit my twisted balusters perfectly. Im glad we bought these because the holes I drilled were not perfect and these shoes covered it up. Made installation a breeze!

Verified owner Trish Felder (Verified Customer) –
I would definitely recommend ordering from here! I replaced 72 wood balusters with iron ones and I will say that they were a lot nicer than I expected. I used some straight hollow squares and some double spiral scrolls and the result looks beautiful. The scrolls are solid not hollow and look amazing. I used the shoes for tops and bottom and they really finish everything off nicely. Deliver was exactly as they said and I was notified when it would be coming. I even got a phone call from the driver letting me know approximately what time he would be coming. My overall experience with them was great and I would definitely order again.
