Most snow plows do include a kick stand like # 3371304710 for easier support when moving or storing the unit, however not every model includes this component. In this case simple jack stands would be used in its place for stability when it's off the truck.

Now as for the shoes on your snow plow, these are attached to the bottom of the blade and will essentially raise the blade up just a bit to keep it from pushing gravel or dirt along with the snow you're trying to clear. Whether or not you need to use them really depends on what type of surface you are plowing (they aren't needed for standard pavement roads).

I have attached a link that will take you to our complete selection of snow plow parts that you can also look through if needed.
