Abstract (en)

A shoe support (1) for supporting a lasted shoe, bottom uppermost, has two spaced apart support members (20,22,44,46;24,26,50,52) for supporting a shoe therebetween. Each support member is mounted for pivotal movement about an associated support shaft (16;18) so as to enable the spacing between shoe-supporting surface portions (46;52) of the members to be varied. Resilient means (56), preferably a tension spring (56), serves to urge the surface portions (46;52) together to a position of minimum distance therebetween. When a lasted shoe is inserted between the surface portions, they thus follow and conform to the outer surface of such shoe. The shoe-supporting surface portions are provided by freely rotatable sleeves (46;52) which serve to overcome any frictional effects which would otherwise act against the insertion of a shoe between the support members or its removal from therebetween. <IMAGE>
