Abstract
A heel saving device has a first straight part underlying an accelerator pedal of a vehicle and a second bulbous or circular part that is integral to the first part and which extends out from under the pedal towards the driver. The heel of the driver's shoe rests atop the bulbous second part when the vehicle is being operated, and protects the heel from abrasion by the floorboard. A chemical is added to the bulbous second part to prevent rubbing off of heel coloring, and a double-sided adhesive secures the device into position. In a second embodiment, a first straight part overlies a second straight part and a bulbous first part overlies a bulbous second part that has an adhesive-saving central opening formed in it.
