English term or phrase: drive shoes
Aus einer Anleitung für eine Dosenpresse:

An extra set of DRIVE SHOES is included with each model.

=> Was sind "drive shoes"? Wirklich Schuhe? Dieser Satz steht völlig zusammenhangslos am Ende der Bedienungsanleitung dieser Presse! Es wird nicht weiter darauf eingegangen, was gemeint sein könnte oder wofür die "drive shoes" gut sind.

Antriebsschuhe
Explanation:
This must be shoes in the sense of a socket or connector for something, not shoes to put on your feet! I don't know enough about Dosenpressen to know exactly what part that would be, but Antriebsschuh would seem possible as the literal translation.

Antriebsschuhe


Explanation:
Antriebsschuhe gibt es bei bestimmten Maschinen. "Drive" weist auch eher auf Antrieb als auf Führung hin. Vielleicht passt es ja im Zusammenhang.
