Shoe molding, so called because it’s located at “shoe level,” caught on because it looked good and also helped seal out insects and dirt. the main goal of both baseboard and shoe molding is to conceal the less-than-appealing transition between the bottom of the wall and the floor. Baseboard alone covers most of the gap, but because it’s larger than shoe molding, it’s relatively stiff and doesn’t conform well to an uneven floor. Even after baseboard has been installed, you will often see small gaps here and there between the baseboard and the floor. That’s where shoe molding comes in, it’s small size makes it slightly flexible, allowing it to be installed flat against the floor to give baseboard a professional finished look.
