A resilient pad positionable on the floor of an automobile below and slightly behind the driver's accelerator pedal. When a woman is driving the automobile the heel of her shoe will engage the upper face of the pad while she is applying foot pressure to the accelerator pedal. The rear edge of the heel will sink into the pad surface, such that a large pad area will exert a relatively low unit area reaction force against the shoe heel. The invention minimizes premature wearing away of the shoe heel that can occur, over time, when the rear edge of the shoe heel is repeatedly pressed down against a relatively rigid automobile floor surface.
