The shield includes means for slidably engaging the shoe sole and catch means for locking the shield onto the shoe. The catch is positioned and has means to engage the shoe so that one size and style shield fits all sizes of both men's and women's shoes. The shield can be sized to cover essentially all of, or only a part of, the toe section of a shoe.
