The footwear storage rack includes a base, a tubular support member having a lower portion with a slot therein and further having an upper portion with a retractable catch member therein, a footwear support member being essentially a disk and having a plurality of wedge-shaped slots extending in the circumference and spaced thereabout, and a handle removeably attachable to the upper portion of the tubular support member for carrying and moving the footwear storage rack as desired.
Claims1
A footwear storage system comprising:
- a boot having a leg portion and a foot portion, wherein the boot has a relatively more flexible leg portion and a relatively stiffer foot portion;
- a rack including:
- a base;
- at least one tubular support member being removably and securely mounted to a top of said base and extending upwardly therefrom;
- at least one footwear support member being securely mounted about said at least one tubular support member and having a plurality of slots therein for supporting footwear;
- a means for carrying said rack;
- and
- each of said slots being defined by a pair of edges, said pair of edges linearly converging toward a central area of said footwear support member such that the edges pinch the relatively more flexible leg portion of said boot so that a relatively stiffer foot portion of the boot is resisted from slipping through said slot when the boot is placed in an inverted condition in said slot.
