An adjustable men's shoe heel protector which has a body (20) of thermoplastic material in the shape of the heel portion of a shoe. The body (20) is configured to fit all sizes of shoes covering only the rear portion of the shoe counter. Attachment is primarily accomplished by utilization of a penetrating lip (22) that fits between the hose heel and the counter and a sliding hook tab (30) or (32) that is secured over the top of the counter. The combination of the lip and tab securely holds the protector in place while the user is driving a motor vehicle, thereby preventing scuffing of the shoe. In addition to the lip (22) and tab (30), (32), an upper strap (24) circling over the wearer's foot or a lower strap (30) under the instep may also be used. Both straps are removably connected to the protector using hook and loop tape (26). The adjustment in size and convenience of attachment overcomes the problem heretofore encountered with heel protectors.
