  • Publication number: 20250082117
    Abstract: A shoe care apparatus includes a main body, a moving body, and an air-blowing part. The main body and the moving body together form an accommodation space. A shoe is accommodated in the accommodation space. The air-blowing part circulates air in the accommodation space. The moving body comprises a base, a turntable, and a plurality of rotating balls. The base is slidably coupled to the main body so as to open and close the accommodation space. The turntable is rotatably coupled to the base about a vertical axis. The turntable forms a lower surface of the accommodation space together with the base. The rotating balls are rotatably coupled to the base. The rotating balls are in point-contact with a bottom surface of the turntable and support a load of the turntable.
