Make sure ( I am sure you checked) the shoe is firmly planted against the backing plate.

Could be some crud holding the shoe away from the backing plate.
No crud. Everything was blasted and painted.
I can push the shoes towards the backing plate, but the shoe springs pull it away again slightly. I figured that's normal as you don't want the shoes contacting the backing plate...?
