A heel guard for a high heel shoe having a heel post which comprises: a) a base portion having a wider surface then a lower end of the heel post, said base portion being fabricated out of a rigid material; and b) an upper heel clutch portion on the base portion to receive the heel post, whereby when a user of the high heel shoe inserts the heel post within the upper heel clutch portion and applies pressure with the lower end of the heel post on the base portion the pressure will be distributed across the wider surface of the base portion to provide the user with a stabilized walking control over soft and rough terrain; c) said upper clutch portion being fabricated out of a shape retentive polymeric material that will grip the heel post without marring texture of the heel post and allow the heel post to be easily removed without scratching and damaging the heel post; and d) said base portion having on a top surface a rimmed heel receptacle and a peripheral circumferential ridge with transverse flanges, each terminating in a flange lip, and the upper heel clutch portion having a lower peripheral edge with hook-like catches that matingly engage the base flange lips.
