DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a boot stand for storing a pair of boots together so as not to lose their shape, and more particularly to a boot stand in which a pair of long boots is compact without taking up space.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, long boots that cover the calf have become popular. This long boots
It is popular with women, especially young women, because their feet are warm on cold days, they fit on their legs when worn, and their legs look slender and long, increasing their fashionability.

However, such a long boot having a tubular portion corresponding to the calf portion has a problem that, after being sewn, the above-mentioned tubular portion is long, so that it can be easily bent or fall down midway. In particular, long boots become dirty when wiped off on a dirty entrance on a rainy day. Further, if the cylindrical portion is bent, it loses its shape, which is not preferable.

In order to prevent the tubular portion of the long boot from breaking, the opening edge of the tubular portion is simply sandwiched between the clips and the clip is hooked on a hook attached to a wall or a stand to suspend a pair of long boots. I was However, simply suspending the long boots with the clip does not require the tubular portion to bend.However, if it is suspended during the non-use period when the long boots are not used, such as in summer, the tubular portion may lose its shape and the clip may not be bent. There is a problem that traces remain.

[0005] For this reason, boot stands have been commercialized so that they do not lose their shape even after long-term storage. FIG. 10 shows this boot stand.

A boot stand 3 shown by a solid line in FIG.
Reference numeral 00 denotes an elastic split pin-shaped holding metal member 302 and a pair of mold breaking preventing members 304 and 304 attached to a lower portion of the holding metal member 302.
