The sidewalls are angled inward such that they are closer together at a topside thereof. The base and the sidewalls frictionally engage a shoe therebetween. The base has a telescopic adjustment that is controlled by an adjustment screw. At least one fastener is placed on a bottom side of the base opposite the sidewalls. The fastener attaches the device to the interior of a drier. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A shoe support and attachment device, the device comprising: a base comprising at least one pair of opposing edges; a pair of sidewalls disposed on each opposing edge of the at least one pair of opposing edges; whereby the pair of sidewalls extend vertically from the at least one pair of opposite edges of the base; wherein each side wall of the pair of sidewalls are each curved inward towards each other; at least one securement device placed within the base; at least one fastener disposed on a bottom side of the base opposite the sidewalls the least one securement device further comprises a pair of cross supports, at least one telescopic bar, and a securement screw; whereby a first cross support of the pair of cross supports is disposed on a first opposing edge of the at least one pair of opposing edges; whereby a second cross support of the pair of cross supports is disposed on a second opposing edge of the at least one pair of opposing edges; wherein the first cross support is parallel to the second cross support; a first telescopic bar perpendicularly disposed on the first cross support; a second telescopic bar perpendicularly disposed on the second cross support; the securement screw extends through the first cross support, the first telescopic bar, and into the second telescopic bar. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The shoe support and attachment device of claim 1, wherein the base has a plurality of flexible ridges. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The shoe support and attachment device of claim 1, further comprising a screw adjuster within the telescopic adjustment. ### Claim 4 The shoe support and attachment device, 3, wherein turning the screw adjuster will tighten or expand the base. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The shoe support and attachment device of claim 1, wherein the base and the sidewalls are made from a thermal resistant material. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The shoe support and attachment device of claim 1, wherein the at least one fastener is a magnet. ### Claim 7 A shoe support and attachment device, the device comprising: a base comprising at least one pair of opposing edges; a pair of sidewalls disposed on each opposing edge of the at least one pair of opposing edges; whereby the pair of sidewalls extend vertically from the at least one pair of opposite edges of the base; wherein each sidewall of the pair of sidewalls are rounded in a concave manner relative to an outside plane of the sidewalls; the base and the sidewalls are configured to frictionally attach to an arch portion of a shoe; at least one securement device placed within the base; the least one securement device further comprises a pair of cross supports, at least one telescopic bar, and a securement screw; at least one fastener disposed on a bottom side of the base opposite the sidewalls whereby a first cross support of the pair of cross supports is disposed on a first opposing edge of the at least one pair of opposing edges; whereby a second cross support of the pair of cross supports is disposed on a second opposing edge of the at least one pair of opposing edges; wherein the first cross support is parallel to the second cross support; a first telescopic bar perpendicularly disposed on the first cross support; a second telescopic bar perpendicularly disposed on the second cross support; the securement screw extends through the first cross support, the first telescopic bar, and into the second telescopic bar. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The shoe support and attachment device of claim 7, wherein the base has a plurality of flexible ridges. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The shoe support and attachment device of claim 7, further comprising a telescopic adjustment within the base. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The shoe support and attachment device of claim 8, further comprising a screw adjuster within the telescopic adjustment. ### Claim 11 The shoe support and attachment device, 10, wherein turning the screw adjuster will tighten or expand the base. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The shoe support and attachment device of claim 7, wherein the base and the sidewalls are made from a thermal resistant material. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The shoe support and attachment device of claim 7, wherein the at least one fastener is a magnet.
