ABSTRACT:
A hanger for suspending a pair of footwear in an inverted position, each one of said pair having a heel, a sole, and an upper is disclosed. The hanger has a pair of clamps made of wire, each of the clamps being for each one of the pair of footwear. Each clamp has a torsion spring coil at one end wherein front and rear ends of the coil extend downwardly from the coil to define respective first and second vertical legs. Each vertical leg is formed inwardly toward the other leg at about the same distance from the coil to define respective first and second horizontal legs in side-to-side contact with one another. The vertical legs cross one another laterally so that the first horizontal leg is behind the second horizontal leg. The horizontal legs are formed 180.degree. to define opposed gripper ends for clamping the heel of the footwear between them and each gripper end is in a plane which is perpendicular to the plane defined by the vertical and horizontal legs with which the gripper end is integral. The clamps are suspended by a hook having a balanced yoke at its lower end.
