Abstract
A footwear rack has an open box-like framework with four upright corner posts respectively joined by upper and lower longitudinally and laterally extending horizontal cross-members. Each cross-member has two rows of inverted U-shaped hangers for supporting shoes in parallel rows, internally and externally at each elevation about the whole periphery of the rack. Adjacent inside corner loops at the junctions of lateral and longitudinal cross-members are indented away from the corner to accommodate the sides of neighboring shoes mounted on the perpendicular cross-members. Inserts placed in hollow tubular posts permit identical racks to be stacked, one above the other.
