These shoes, basically, are the part that actually creates the friction to slow down or stop your vehicle. They press against the brake drums – think of the drums like a big rotating shield – and the friction between the shoes and the drum is what gives you stopping power. They’re made up of the actual shoe itself, a metal backing plate for strength, and brake lining material, which is what actually does the work. There’s also usually springs and sometimes other small parts included in the set to help everything work correctly. They're part of your drum brake system, which you'll find most often on the rear wheels of cars, but sometimes on all four. They work alongside your brake lines, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders to translate when you press the pedal into actual stopping force. While many newer cars use disc brakes all around, drum brakes with shoes like these are still very common, and completely reliable when maintained. Well, obviously, your brakes are pretty critical! If your brake shoes are worn down, you’ll notice if you have to press the pedal further to get the same stopping power, or if the car pulls to one side when you brake. More seriously, severely worn shoes can cause damage to the brake drums themselves, leading to a more expensive repair. Keeping them in good shape is a big safety thing. You can find a good set, including everything you need, at places like Fixparts Online, or of course here. Regular inspections and replacements are just part of responsible vehicle upkeep.
