This is the pivot foot on each side of each window. It is 2" tall x .75" wide. Not sure if these are even made anymore. These are for tilt windows. I can get better measurements by removing the shoe if needed. These windows are circa 2000 and the brand name is unknown.

Hello again! Looks like you need a new pivot shoe here. Yours in particular appears to match our 15-129, but you should review our dimensions to verify.

Hello, does this pivot shoe have a brake? What is the difference between this and the "brown shoe" shoe?
Thanks

Yes, the 15-129 has a break. All pivot shoes do so as to allow them to lock in the track when the cam is turned.

As for the brown pad shoe, are you referring to our 15-178? The major difference between this and the 15-129 is the shape of the cam. The 15-178 has a different design to accommodate a different type of pivot bar. You should carefully review the photos we show for each pivot shoe to determine what would best work for your application.

Hello, I want to make sure that these pivots have brakes, and what the difference between these and the "brown shoe" pivots.
Thanks
