ABSTRACT:
A shoe rack has two frame members spaced laterally to provide an open space between them sufficient to receive shoes. Each of the frame elements has crossbars spaced vertically from one another and carrying a plurality of shoe mounts spaced along the bars and arranged to hold shoes with their soles and heels facing inwardly into the open space between the frame members. A spacer extends between the two frame members. The spacer has a channel running along each edge, that carries on each side, a roller. Rails are mounted to a fixed element of a closet and the rollers on each side of the spacer are mounted to roll in the rails. The rails have rollers that run on a track carried by the spacer. The two frame members are connected by links pivotally mounted at two ends, so that the frame members, when not attached to the spacer, can be folded substantially flat for shipping or storage.
