Shoe at different angle

Question

Having trouble identifying a replacement shoe. This is on a 1/2 in sash balancer. It looks like the 15-001 but has a bit more of an angle at the bottom base on the pictures. Does that matter??

I wouldn't worry about the angle. It's similar enough that you should just focus on the size. As long as that's the same, you should be okay.
