Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A boot hanging device for hanging a boot upside down from an external projection to air out and dry, the boot having a sole, a heel and an arch area therebetween with the heel having a substantially planar front surface at substantially right angles with the sole and defining the arch area with the sole, said boot hanging device comprising a block type member affixed to the boot in the arch area thereof and abutting the front surface of the heel, the block type member having a slot formed therein opening from a surface thereof affixed to the boot in a manner whereby the slot releasably accommodates an external hook therein for hanging the boot from an external projection.
