These spike covers only provide traction assistance and must be used as part of a complete safety system with qualified supervision.

Size L fits boot sizes 7¾-10 and is most popular with residential contractors. Size XL fits boot sizes 10½-14 and is preferred by commercial crews. Choose based on your actual Cougar Paws boot size, not regular shoe size. Both sizes include 18 replaceable metal spikes and cost $43.95.

Inspect spikes before each use and replace when worn, bent, or damaged. Heavy daily use may require replacement every few months depending on roof conditions. Replacement spikes (18 per package) are available for $10.95. Proper spike maintenance is essential for safety and performance.

These spike covers are designed specifically for Cougar Paws roofing boots including Performer, Estimator, and Steel Walker series. They may not fit properly or safely on other boot brands. Using incompatible boots can compromise safety and void warranties.

These are spike covers that attach to existing Cougar Paws boots specifically for tear-off operations. Regular roofing boots have built-in traction soles for new roof installation. Professional roofers need both - boots for installation work, spike covers for tear-off operations. The spikes provide maximum grip for removing old materials safely.

Clean debris from spikes after each use, inspect for damage before each job, store in a dry location away from extreme temperatures, and replace worn spikes immediately. Check attachment points regularly for secure fit. Proper maintenance ensures maximum safety and extends product life. Replace the entire unit if rubber shows cracking or excessive wear.
