Usage Tips: Secure the collar to a flat surface with epoxy for a stable fit with the 1/2″ square baluster. For a more permanent hold 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 Satin Black finish; avoid abrasive cleaners. Note that this is a decorative component and does not provide structural support. For angled surfaces, use the 16.3.71 collar instead.

These baluster shoes have a clean and simple design to them and were just what we were looking for to complete our stair remodel. We aren’t a fan of the fancy ornate shoes and wanted something that drew the least amount of attention to the shoe. These did just the trick and have a nice modern look to them.

I wanted something modern and thin. These were the answer looked great and much better than the traditional stuff found at the big box stores.
