A high-top shoe platen, comprising:

• a. a shoe plate to provide support for a shoe, the shoe plate, comprising:
• i. a back edge,
• ii. a front edge opposite the back edge, the front edge having a contoured perimeter,
• iii. a medial edge adjacent to the back edge and front edge, and
• iv. a lateral edge opposite the medial edge and adjacent to the back edge and the front edge,
• v. a “Z”-shaped slot adjacent to the back edge,
• vi. a fixing peg protruding out from the “Z”-shaped slot and moveably attached to the shoe plate, the fixing peg configured to receive an eyelet of a shoe, wherein the lateral edge of the shoe plate has an inward deviation at approximately a middle area between the back edge and the front edge of the shoe plate, and
• b. a bottom shoe adjuster attached to the lateral edge of the shoe plate, the shoe adjuster having a back end, a front end opposite the back end, a medial side adjacent to the front end and back end, a lateral side opposite the medial side and adjacent to the front end and back end, at least one projecting member projecting perpendicularly and medially from the medial side, and at least one tab projecting perpendicularly and downwardly from the lateral side;
• c. a slider bracket attached to the back edge of the shoe plate, the slider bracket having a generally “G”-shaped configuration, wherein the slider bracket comprises a slide bar, a connector attached to the slide bar, and a stabilizer bar attached to the connector, wherein the slide bar has a general “L”-shape configuration having a generally rectangular shaped heel base that bends perpendicularly to a sliding stem, wherein the heel base comprises a back edge, a front edge opposite the back edge, and a lateral edge adjacent to the back edge, and a medial edge opposite the lateral edge and adjacent to the back edge, wherein the slide bar is bent downward approximately 90° along a line parallel to and in between the front edge and the medial member of the heel base to form a second tab on the slide bar along the line parallel to and in between the front edge and medial member of the heel base, wherein the stabilizer bar is generally rectangular in shape having a back edge, an elongated lateral side adjacent to the back edge, an elongated medial side adjacent to the back edge and opposite the elongated lateral side, a front edge opposite the back edge and adjacent to the elongated lateral side and the elongated medial side of the stabilizer bar, an elongated slot parallel to and in between the medial side and lateral side of the stabilizer bar through which the stabilizer bar can be connected to the shoe plate, wherein the connector is generally “J”-shaped thereby medially off-setting the stabilizer bar relative to a sliding stem of the slide bar.
