This application claims the benefit of provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/733,236, filed Nov. 4, 2005 by the present inventor.
Although everyone wears shoes it seems as though people are now keeping a much larger wardrobe of boots. Boots seem to hold a lure and fascination for women and men. Manufacturers of boots have not acknowledged the need for attractive, affordable and effective storage for boots. The purchase box itself for years been the means for boot storage.
Several types of boot storage systems have been manufactured; for example there are the international, Japan publication numbers; JP10264926 to Hasegawa Yukio (1998); CA2467234 to Graham Felix, (2005) and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,779,743 to Jack McKinnon (1988); 4,881,637 to Peters, Melton and Prescott (1989); 4,953,715 to Giuliano Cell (1990); and 5,881,932 to Michael M. Wadden (1999). All these inventors had wonderful inventions although some would have been expensive to manufacture.
There is a boot storage systems that take ups a great deal of space. This same system does not effectively protect the boot or accessory from dirt and moisture.
Storage apparatus for boots should not pose any possible danger to children or pets. There should be no screws, hooks or rods that extend from the base.
One such boot storage apparatus is of excessive weight without the boot and shoe stored on it, and once boots are stored it becomes top heavy unless mounted to a wall.
Boxes for boots are cumbersome, unattractive, and usually hidden under the bed, closet, or basement. Boots kept in said boxes do not allow an individual to know which pairs of boots are stored
