Gotta agree, heel plate. Ofcourse their original purpose was to save wear and tear on boot heels and souls....But in the 50's it was just......coooolll man.

Here is one I just found recently not put away yet but it's simular to yours & would be early from the site it came from.

Yep , I have a set on a big pair of Boots now , and they work well so they do not get the uneven ware on the heal .
I started using them when I started riding my Harley !

Cool find BobinSouthVA

Looks identical to one I found and the first I've seen like it.

There are different versions on the usage of these small heel plates:
