Abstract: A device for controlling the position of a semi-product of treated shoes comprises a holder, which is provided with a heel support and a toe cap support, the mutual distance of which is adjustable by means of a displacement chain according to the size of the treated shoe. The holder is arranged in side pieces which are fixed to flanges of a hollow shaft seated in a fork extension piece of a vertical spindle seated on a pin shaft fixed in a supporting platform. A piston rod of a main pressure cylinder is connected to one of the side pieces.
