Channel Balance Shoe

Question

The park is a winged Channel Balance shoe. I've looked through your catalog, and it appears to be similar to the ones you have except for the fact that there is a gap in the middle of the slot that you slide the part on to. This is to make room for the spring holder clip. The ones I see in your catalog do not have this Gap that I can see in the pictures. The Gap is visible in the second to last picture where I'm holding it between my thumb and forefinger.

Thanks for posting. I wouldn't worry too much about slight differences in this case. This shoe looks like either our 15-005 1" Deep Shoe, or the 15-004 1-3/32" Deep Shoe. Compare the depth to know which matches your shoe. Frankly it's easier to replace your entire channel balance instead of riveting on new shoes, though if you were looking to do that we have a video that illustrates the process; see below. Otherwise, or if you need new balances anyway, it looks like you'll need either our S380-32 or S385-32, depending on the identity of the nylon shoe. You'll need a stamp option of 3140.
