Hi I have Milgard windows where I need to replace the balances, take-out clips, and shoes. Balance is 27" long and says 26 5 FS Caldwell on it. Can you please help me identify which replacement balance I would need? Thank you.

Based on your photos, you have either our S380-27 or S385-27. The only difference between them is the size of the bottom fitting, which is indicated on their respective store pages. You'll need to measure your bottom fitting to confirm which one is the better match.

Hi.
I also need to replace the shoe. Which shoe would be the best fit (pun intended)? Thanks.

Got it. I'm looking for the portion that connects to the window itself. Pictures are attached. Some sites seem to call that a "shoe". I think they may be called Top Sash Channel Balance Guides? Would you know which one would be compatible with the balances you've mentioned? Thank you.

Yes, this part is called a top sash guide. Yours in particular is a match for our 18-171.
