Shoe hangers come in a variety of styles for different display purposes and footwear types.
These arms often extend and loop back down on each other to create a wing, which offers more support for the shoe.
This design is most commonly used for flat soled footwear such as trainers, sandals, slippers, and pumps.
Directly below the hook is a flat disc that acts as a display for information and also as a grip to open the spring clip.
[2] Various improvements were made over the next few decades to accommodate the storage and display of different types of shoes, as seen in the wing, hook, and clip designs.
