What it's made for: a gravel drive or worn-out shoes.
Two skid shoe sets close to it on our rating, each with a dated price.
What it has going for it
Rolling skids. Rollers instead of flat shoes, so the housing glides over pavers and cracks instead of grinding on them.
Gravel: set the shoes high so the scraper bar rides above the stones. The listing names rollers instead of flat shoes, part 490-241-0038 and a fit for MTD, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt and Cub Cadet.
Pavement: set them low so the bar takes the last layer off. Worn shoes let the housing drop and dig, which is usually when people notice them.

Our take
The best thing about the KINTLE 490-241-0038 Rolling Skid Shoes is rollers instead of flat shoes. No buyer reviews yet, so this KINTLE skid shoe set has to win you over on paper. The catch with the KINTLE: it only fits the machines it lists, so check your manual before you order. We'd pick it if your old skid shoes are worn through or your drive is gravel; otherwise, put it next to the Heavy Hitch Heavy Duty Skid Shoes first.
Before the KINTLE 490-241-0038 Rolling Skid Shoes ships, check your model number: it is sold as part 490-241-0038 for MTD and Craftsman, and fit is model-specific.
Look for the plate on the frame, usually under the handle or behind the engine, and copy the model and serial numbers into your phone.
Set the height for pavement or gravel after fitting. Our gravel vs paved guide shows the difference.
Parts are easy to fit in a dry garage and miserable mid-storm. Our parts guide lists what is worth stocking.

Its listing states rollers instead of flat shoes. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: whether it fits your exact machine is worth confirming first.
