  • Publication number: 20040069726
    Abstract: A shoe rack has a pair of supports with bottoms arranged to lay in a base plane reference. The bottoms are adapted for resting on a support surface that is co-planar with the base reference plane. The pair of supports are spaced apart and define a shoe storage region therebetween on a support surface. At least a first shoe storage shelf has a front edge, a rear edge, and a pair of sides. Each side is coupled to a respective one of the pair supports. The first shoe storage shelf is supported in an elevated position relative to the base reference plane and lays in a first shelf plane that is tilted at an angle relative to the base reference plane with the front edge higher than the rear edge.
