Abstract: A shoe heel guard for protecting the rear and heel portions of a shoe on a foot of a driver of a vehicle. The shoe heel guard includes a frame having a generally U-shaped cross-section. The frame is sized to provide an interference fit on the back of the shoe. The frame includes a rounded rear portion and opposing side portions which define an open area therebetween in which the back of shoe is inserted. The frame includes a lower peripheral edge which extends inwardly from the bottom of the rounded rear portion against which the heel of the shoe rests, the lower peripheral edge having a slot formed therein to enhance the interference fit of the guard with the shoe.
