Balance shoe

Hmm. I am not quite sure about this balance shoe. May we see one that is not damaged attached to the balance? If you are also able to provide measurements, that would be a big help. Thank you.

Thanks for the added photos. This complete shoe looks like it's probably our 15-001 Shoe, which has a depth of 1-1/8". Just double-check the dimensions listed to confirm; if the depth is in fact 1", you'd want the 15-002 instead. To be honest though, even if the rest of the balance is undamaged, replacing these shoes can be a bit of a process; it also stands to reason that the balance itself may not be far off from breaking itself. I personally would just go ahead and replace your old channel balances. We can help you do this: just provide us pictures of the top nylon attachment, as well as any stamp code on the metal channel; the length of the channel, not including those attachments, would also be most helpful. Otherwise, see the video below for information on how to replace the balance attachments. 

If you stand your balance straight up, as if it were installed in the window, the depth of the nylon shoe is the distance from heel to toe; basically, the widest point of the balance just beneath and perpendicular to where the metal channel ends. See the picture below. The depth of the 15-001 is 1-1/8", the depth of the 15-002 is 1".
