The first shoe member and the second shoe member can be operatively coupled to the door to cover different sized gaps located between the bottom edge of the door and a floor. As such, the door shoe disclosed herein may be used to cover different size gaps, provide a thermal break between the members to aid in fire resistance, and be easily installed on doors without having to remove the door from the frame.
