A snow plow blade skid shoe is angularly adjusted during mounting upon the plow moldboard for leveling the shoes ground contacting pad. The shoe includes a pair of spaced apart brackets which are secured to the moldboard by bolts extending through the pre-existing bolt holes used for bolting the plow blade to the moldboard. An elongated shoe pad extends horizontally between the lower edges of the brackets and is initially secured thereto by a bendable connector. Plate-like arms, fastened to the pad, are loosely positioned adjacent the brackets. When the plow mounted blade is initially lowered until its bottom edge engages the ground, the pressure between the pad and ground causes the pad to angularly turn, thereby bending the connector, to level the pad in full face to face contact with the ground and parallel to the blade bottom edge. Then the arms are welded to their adjacent bracket portions for fixing the pad position.
