  • Patent number: 5911347
    Abstract: A shoe hanger for displaying a pair of shoes and prominently indicating information regarding same in retail stores includes a central elongated base member, a hook, two shoe support elements and a label support area. The base member terminates at its upper end with the hook, and at its opposite sides with the two shoe support elements onto which a pair of shoes can be fitted. Each shoe support element is generally U-shaped and lies in the same plane as the base member and includes an inside leg and an outside leg, the outside leg angling upwardly toward the inside leg such that the outside leg and inside leg are spaced apart at their respective bottom ends by a bight portion and have their respective upper ends closely adjacent to each other to act as clips to constrain movement, rotational or otherwise, of the shoes fitted thereon. The label support area, which lies in the same plane as the central elongated body and hook, is integral with and located directly above the hook.
