Abstract
A shoe hanger, for displaying a pair of shoes and prominently indicating information regarding same in retail stores, includes a central elongated body, a hook, two shoe support elements and a label support area. The central elongated body terminates at its upper end with said hook and at its lower end with two shoe support elements onto which a pair of shoes is fitted. Each shoe support element includes an inverted U-shaped lateral support portion which extends upwardly from, parallel to, and in the same plane as, the central elongated member, terminating at a point at or near the upper end of said central elongated member. The lateral support portion supports the shape of the sides of the vamps of the shoes fitted thereon. A semicircular transverse support portion extends from the bight of the inverted U and lies in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the lateral support portion and supports the tops of the vamps 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.
