These shoes are good under normal conditions but crumble under weight. I had put a lot of weight on my trupod and the legs had spread out a little and instead of the rubber on the bottom of the shoes going with it, the rubber detached (as I found out it is glued onto the shoe) and the shoe kept going.

Comments about Manfrotto 565 Rubber Shoes (Set of 3) - for Spiked Feet:
When I ordered this set of rubber feet, I was not sure if they would fit my used Manfrotto MVB 351 tripod as the original rubber feet were missing on purchase. I had read somewhere on the internet that they could fit. These feet do fit and very well. Use has been minimal and confined to interior shoots, but appear to be standing up to wear and tear ok.

Comments about Manfrotto 565 Rubber Shoes (Set of 3) - for Spiked Feet:
These rubber/plastic feet are sturdy, small, and useful! Easy to attach and remove, they are of a nice shape and give the tripod a firm base on smooth surfaces. I like them quite a lot!

Comments about Manfrotto 565 Rubber Shoes (Set of 3) - for Spiked Feet:
I think having an extra set of rubber feet is essential with my video tripod. Can't be scratching wood floors if one of the feet gets lost, so it's excellent insurance to have the extra set. And the price is right.

- Easy To Use
Cons
- Not durable
- Poor Design

These are good to use on uneven ground where I can't use spreader ones. They work pretty well, with rubber bottom they are stable on smooth surfaces.

Comments about Manfrotto 565 Rubber Shoes (Set of 3) - for Spiked Feet:
For the past 2 years I've been worried about my sharp tripod legs scratching clients' floors and I finally decided to buy these. They've been an excellent accessory. Not only do they cover the Bogen spiked ends, but they prevent any sliding with the grip-like surface.
Pros
- Lightweight
Cons
- Rubber glued on
- Weak Construction

Comments about Manfrotto 565 Rubber Shoes (Set of 3) - for Spiked Feet:
If you get a tripod with spiked feet, these are a MUST! The spiked feet a great for dirt and clay, but the spikes can scratch floors and rip carpet. These attach to the legs very securely and keep the tripod from slipping.
Additional use: I bought a second set of these and screwed them to my homemade dolly to attach the tripod firmly to it, and they work excellent for that as well.

Bogen is always a company that has made professional products that are designed to function well at an afordable price. This is true for my 3141B tripod that only had spiked feet. Can't beat the price and perforance.
