ABSTRACT:
A shoe holder particularly adapted for use in dyeing, cleaning or polishing shoes without touching the shoe, comprises a generally U-shaped flexible handle having a forward arcuate portion and a rear arcuate portion. A forwardly extending toe end is connected to the lower end of the forward arcuate portion for insertion into the toe of a shoe, and has a bent and rearwardly extending portion connected thereto. A tongue is also connected to the toe end and extends forwardly, both the tongue and bent rearwardly extending portions making contact with the inside of a shoe. The rear arcuate portion of the handle has connected to its lower end a heel end for insertion into the heel of a shoe, and terminating in an angled forwardly extending portion, for greater rigidity. The holder is in the form of an essentially unitary structure. The handle is constructed of a flexible, preferably plastic material so that when flexed, the toe and heel ends of the holder can be inserted into a shoe to securely position the shoe thereon, and the springiness of the flexible body portion maintains a shoe in fixed position on the holder while the holder is held by the hand to support the shoe, e.g. during dyeing thereof.
